Can I dye a cotten fabric that has been treated with scotchgard?

I want to dye a slip cover for a couch. It has been treated with scotch guard. There is some printing on the inside that says it is 100% cotton "Greenfield collection exclusively by Waverly" Looks like expensive stuff. But, too old fashion for us. It currently has a pattern floral pattern of baby blues, baby pink, baby green on vanilla ice cream. We want to dye it a rich solid red. Can anyone recommend how to do it and what kind of dye to use. How to prepare the fabric for the dye also. Thanks

Scotch Gard comes off in the wash you always have to reapply it; Secondly I doubt that any color is going to completely recover the print , it will just make the flowers and designs a different color.

Thirdly; You have to use the hottest water available in the washer which will mosst likely shrink your cover

Is there enough material on the inside to cut off at a seam that you could dye in a cup to test it?
Reply:Nobody tells you that Scotchguard comes off if you spill on it, so you must respray to keep it effective. Take slipcover off. Wasg in warm water as per instructions on label, mild detergent, no fabric softener, then dye it. Good luck.
Reply:i dont think its gonna work ... i dont understand why you dont just buy a new one
