The invention belongs to the field of textile fabric dyeing, and particularly relates to an instant accelerating agent for a reactive dye and an application method of the instant accelerating agent. The instant accelerating agent comprises, by weight, 1-5 parts of sodium hydroxide, 2-3 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.5 part of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 1-5parts of potassium carbonate, 1-5 parts of sodium-2-naphthalene sulfonate, 1-5 parts of sodium gluconate, 4-8 parts of potassium sulphate, 25-40 parts of sodium chloride and 30-60 parts of sodium sulfate. Compared with the prior art, the instant accelerating agent and the application method have the advantages that a reasonable formula is utilized, so that the instant accelerating agent effectively replaces anhydrous sodium sulphate and sodium carbonate in use, the addition amount of inorganic salt is reduced and is 68-70% of the original usage amount, the product quality is improved, meanwhile, the production time is reduced, the cost is saved, the enterprise benefits are ensured, the content of the inorganic salt in dye-bath water is reduced, the number of times for after-treatment washing is reduced, the wastewater treatment degree is reduced, and the instant accelerating agent is suitable for large-scale application and popularization.
