Hi,Acidity and terps do not affect indigo. That is they do not help in
any way, I have not tested to see if they hinder dye release.
Ordinary warm water with nothing else gives the best results,
and you only have to wait for the water to flush out the dye from
the plant fibre - about 10 minutes. Once the paste has changed
colour from green to dark blue it's too late it won't stain any more.
