Went through my clothes last night and decided instead of donating what I don't wear or what I got black hair dye on, I'm gonna dye them all black!

She has the most soothing and calming voice.

And hardly a trace of annoying Vocal Fry , which is a pleasant find , in a sea of an affected way talking trying to trendy, that so many other videos are these days.

Great video! Professional and straight to the point and easy to follow couldn't be better 👍

[@juliat3955]

My kit came without instructions, so I’m glad you have this.

[@ayasdaulatzai8503]

Did it work?

[@Chronamasteroftime]

I probably should’ve guessed it but I dyed all my white shirts black and got a dark purple instead. Maybe subsequent dyings I’ll get a black color. It worked wonders on some shorts I got bleach all over though.

[@HoneyBeesKneesPLZ]

They don’t say it in the video but Rit dye doesn’t make black synthetic dye. The darkest will be a dark grey called “granite”.

[@kissxthexdancer]

Wtf, why is that?

[@kel.sharpe]

I just bought this kit a few weeks back, so glad I found this video!! I'm planning on dyeing a few pieces from my closet

I'm in love, she's a vibe

[@BodaciousBeverly]

I really needed this! Thank you for such great details. I feel armed with the correct information now, ready to battle my load of accidentally-bleached clothing.

[@bionicplanet]

Can we reuse the rit dye with more pieces of clothing? Or just one piece of clothing and throw the rit dye away?.

[@Jedindy]

She has a cool sweater

[@trucybercafe2976]

😄

[@CharlotteJWellness]

Do I need to rinse with cool water when finished dying before using fixative? It doesn’t say? Do I just squeeze out? When you put it into the fresh water with fixative the water stays so clear straight off. Surely if the excess hasn’t been rinsed out it would bleed immediately? This is the only thing missing from this video and the written instructions.

[@own.189]

She says in the video it’s fine the dye leaks and it will

[@TangerineSkies666]

Just ring it out. Then stick it in the hot water and fixative solution. And then after you’ll rinse with cold water.

[@ravenserpent31]

Nice, informative video and very clear in direction😊

[@jeremyperez8065]

Does it work on clothes with big plastic-like logos like on Nike sweaters? I mean will it mess up the logo?

[@Vacated204]

On plastic logos no.

[@padraigj3762]

Nice to listen to a video with almost no Vocal Fry creaky voice through out it. Which means we can watch it.

[@SosaaOnfroy]

it's okay without fixative?

[@TangerineSkies666]

Yes but you have more chances of it bleeding into other stuff or fading out faster

[@officiallytrav_day]

It's not cool that y'all don't reply to comments anywhere. I am trying to dye 100% cotton sheets from medium gray to jet black. I obviously don't have a pot big enough for sheets so I have to use the machine machine method. I tried using 1 bottle of the "black all purpose dye" and it came out dark gray with hints of purple and very splotchy/uneven. My stupid washer automatically drains itself so it drained half of the dye bath before I was unable to unplug it to get it to stop draining. Then I did a normal wash cycle (just water), a cycle with the fixative, and finally a cycle with detergent. Now I am trying it again. I unplugged the washer first so it wouldn't drain. I am using 2 bottles of "jet black" from the back to black kit AND 1 bottle of yellow to counteract the purple. I am doubling or tripling the bath time to at least an hour - manually stirring with a broom pole every 10 minutes. Unfortunately, once I plug the machine back in, it will drain itself so I am going to have to go straight from dyeing to using the fixative. I am hoping that locks in more of the black. Since Rit doesn't respond and doesn't provide instructions for using a washing machine AND better clarity on using the fixative, I will report back in a few hours when I finish. I will also post on TikTok later today so other users can learn from my mistakes!

[@dante340]

What should I do if I want to restore a faded black hat, but the material is 50% synthetic? The Rit Dyemore product is not available in Black color, only graphite which is mostly a dark gray. Am I just out of luck?

[@Chronamasteroftime]

I found on Amazon, hard actually find stuff in-store anymore.

[@Teleman01]

What if the pants I want to dye are 52% Nylon, 48% Cotton? Should I use vinegar or salt or both?

[@JingleJoe]

2:08 thank god, goodbye cruel world.

Takes way too long. I’m just gonna spray paint the item.

Hey will metals be dyed as well? Like zippers and stuff like that

[@xerzfx]

no

[@Jordanpeters_son]

I am planning to dye my white coat, dress coat, brown. Will it also work? How long will the colour last

[@ritcolorcommunity]

As long as you use the right dye for the type of material you are dyeing, as well as hot water, it should last for just about as long as anything commercially dyed. If the coat has cotton in it, you can also use our ColorStay Dye Fixative to lock in the color even longer!

[@Jordanpeters_son]

I have a black sleeveless dress thats 5% spandex, 71% cotton, 24% nylon. It says dry clean only, but i think thats just because its banana republic brand. Its started to fade around the armpits and collar- would this product work on it? (I got it at a thrift shop like 15 years ago, but its still gorgeous, would love to keep it).

That's what I'm wondering. What happens to the white silk screen?

[@tinatalker178]

@@heidistabbert3062 I ended up going for it, and the black came out great, with the white letters going a little gray. It just has a bit of a "vintage" look now, but the black is very black.

[@uhN0id]

What if something has zippers? Is it safe?

[@MA-Elec]

Will this process damage silkscreening, like on vintage tour shirts?

[@vonwaq]

will this work with cold water?

[@moonandstars32gmailcom67]

It won’t be very dark, will look more of a gray, not black. Hot water has best results.

[@ritcolorcommunity]

We do not suggest using the dye with cold water. Hot water is very important with our dyes as it opens up the fibers in the fabric to accept the dye.

[@matheusfaria7230]

@@ritcolorcommunity 60 degrees Celsius on silk doesn't sound like a good idea.

[@readysetnogo]

​@@matheusfaria7230the paper instructions in the kit suggests using as hot of water as the fabric will allow. You could maybe adjust the soak times to account for the cooler water.

Convinced rit has its own community at least i will until they answer the real questions Q1?why her jeans still look faded and yall put a matching semi faded shirt next to them to make me/us the jeans weren't faded?

[@mikevinzenz1633]

Hi, I have a bucket hat that I want to bring back to black. Any ideas on how I can keep the small logo emblems on it from getting black?

[@ritcolorcommunity]

Logos are typically made of synthetic materials and so there is a chance the logo doesn't get dyed as this dye does not work on synthetics. You could try covering the logo with electrical tape. However, there always is a chance it does get a dyed a little.

[@linusgoblin]

Whatever you do dont follow that electrical tape advice, it will be 100% unefective. the only way is to unstitch it and sew it back after the cap is dyed.

[@user-hl4pq4zf4u]

how much clothes can it cover?

How can I go from a black t-shirt to gray to give it a vintage look?

[@songsofchaos]

Do everything they tell you not to do to preserve blacks. Wash with colors, normal detergent, normal-heavy wash setting, dry in the dryer, wear and wash it as much as you can and just let time do the rest

[@naiemhaniff7062]

Would this also dye my levi tags black?

[@wendygonzales9417]

Yes

[@Rebecca-vc6iv]

How much fabric in kg/lbs does one pack dye?

[@TangerineSkies666]

1 pound per 3 gal water and one pack of dye. Double the recipe for more clothes

[@spencerevans9016]

It turns everything purple

[@ritcolorcommunity]

That can happen if the fabric has more than 40% synthetic fibers (as this dye is for fabrics with less than 40% synthetics) or if hot water is not used.
