About us

In 1946 DYLON^® - 'Dyes of London' - was founded by two young entrepreneurs, Luca Purbeck and Peter Samuel who began selling colourful dyes from a garage in central London.

Over the years the brand has become synonymous with transforming wardrobes, homes and lives with colour and during the 70's and 80's DYLON^® developed a range of fabric care products designed to renovate and revive fabrics and keep colours looking their best.

In 2008 DYLON^® was acquired by the Spotless Group and the COLOUR CATCHER^® range of colour run prevention products were brought under the DYLON^® brand.

Invented by one of the Spotless Group companies, Punch Industries in Ireland in 1993, COLOUR CATCHER^® is the market leader in colour run prevention in the UK.

Used today by over 1 million households COLOUR CATCHER^®, with its revolutionary anti-transfer technology, aims to simplify consumers lives, saving time and money by allowing mixed colour wash loads and reducing the need to sort laundry.
