Message: I recently dyed a nylon guitar strap using your site. It turned out much much better than the first time, but its almost too dark this time. Is there any method to fade it a little bit without completely losing all color? It's very dark orange right now and I want it to be regular orange if that helps in any way.

You may already be aware that it would be an extremely bad idea to use chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach is very destructive to both synthetic fibers and animal fibers.

Another chemical, however, sodium hydrosulfite, is apparently used sometimes to lighten the color of nylon fabrics, as well as wool and silk. An easy-to-find form of sodium hydrosulfite is Rit brand Color Remover, which is sold alongside the little packets of Rit All-purpose dye in many stores.

I must warn you that I have never tried hydrosulfite on nylon myself. All of my experiences with sodium hydrosulfite have involved cotton. I can't guarantee your results. It's probably worth a try, though.
