RIT Dye Wide Selection of Colors with Color Fixative

Used this green to dye white jeans for St Patricks Day. Turned out perfect and easy to use. Definitely want to wear rubber gloves when using to avoid dying hands and arms. We used the kitchen sink for this project.

I had a couple of pairs of olive-colored shorts that had small bleach spots but were otherwise in good condition. I came across this product and decided to give it a shot instead of throwing out the shorts, even though the label disclaimed that the product may not work on some bleach stains.The first time I tried to dye the shorts, I failed. Why? I didn't follow the instructions and only stirred the pants/dye mixture a couple of times. Although the dye took, there were a couple of places where the dye was lighter.Having learned my lesson, I tried again. This time, I constantly stirred for thirty minutes. I also let the pants/dye mixture soak overnight. This time, they came out great. I also used the dye fixative and pre-washed the shorts before washing them with other clothes. The picture I uploaded is of one pair of shorts after several washings, and the color has not diminished.

Worked well

I ordered the Rit dye in red to dye my faded towels and they came out a beautiful shade of red and I also ordered the fixative to keep the red from fading.

Color saturated clothes very well, color is deep and vivid.

The small piece of fabric I chose to color ... didn't color

way to easy

I really wanted this to work on my faded nylon outdoor cushions! I made sure to get the right dye for nylon fabric and followed the instructions to a T. I prepared the dye bath in VERY hot water (nearly boiling) with the requisite amount of vinegar. Put my pre-washed cushion covers into the double- dye bath (an entire bottle in 3 gallons of very hot water). 30 minutes later, no change in the fabric color. Checked again after 2 hrs and still nothing. Fell asleep and forgot to remove them from the dye bath. Didn't empty it until amost 12 hours later, and not a single thread had changed color. But i can say the dye does work because every little droplet that spilled on my Beige bathroom counter, Beige carpet and Beige skin, is now a permanent shade of deep, dark purple. It won't come of the counter even after dabbing with bleach. The carpet is ruined and it took 3 days and multiple skin scrubbings to get it off of my upper arms and toes! There won't be a next time for me, but if you do attempt to use this, do yourself a huge favor, cover all your surfaces, wear long sleeves and cover your toes! :(
