How to Dye Your Clothes Back to Black

[@daisyhayes3565]

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!

[@wunstop6026]

"Ok finally time to dye" sent me..lmao

[@ravenserpent31]

😂😂

[@StanleyRamblerSRVB-GrimeyBeats]

Yeah this turned into a suicide video real quick 😂

[@oliverj.decastro7926]

[@stephaniel8164]

She is so cute and has such a sweet voice, I feel like she enjoyed making the video and did a great job!

[@divinodayacap3313]

rightt?

[@nachofriend9087]

Yeah, she used to be white. Terrible accident at the factory

[@divinodayacap3313]

She has the most soothing and calming voice.

[@padraigj3762]

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.

YES THATS WHAT I NOTICED TOO first time listening! Not a single VOCAL FRY!!!!!@@padraigj3762

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

[@ayasdaulatzai8503]

Did it work?

“Alright, finally time to dye” girl I felt that in my soul lolol

[@infernaldaedra]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@JingleJoe]

2:08 thank god, goodbye cruel world.

[@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.

[@seanmetro3496]

Princess Rit 🖤

[@bionicplanet]

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

[@Socialyte.]

I usually refresh all of my black clothes at the same time and use double or triple boxes of dye to ensure absorption.

[@JeremyRountree]

I'm in love, she's a vibe

[@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.

[@Jedindy]

She has a cool sweater

[@trucybercafe2976]

😄

[@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.

[@shaquilleoatmeal2199]

It shouldnt affect the logo

[@Jocksman100]

She is so beautiful

[@padraigj3762]

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

[@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.

[@SavageMcBeastdog]

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

[@Teleman01]

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

[@lucium]

I want to dye my black hoodie it’s fading. But I have white design on it . Will it mess it up?

[@Vacated204]

Yes

[@Maddenchannel]

Will this change the entire t shirt to black? I have a logo I don’t want to be black

[@ravenserpent31]

Nice, informative video and very clear in direction😊

[@diormeeny5525]

How did you keep the green still green

[@ants7279]

What if we just use the Dye as is?Cause I have a shirt I really Love but has patterns on it it's not all black.

[@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]

@@ritcolorcommunity thanks.

[@masterofnone1481]

I’m assuming this will also dye any graphics?

[@artofgamingwarfare3658]

I'd gotten red fountain pen ink on a white shirt when i ran the shirt and pen in the wash. This'll save me the headache of getting a new shirt

[@AcceleratingUniverse]

continually stirring for 30 - 60 minutes dawg no way

[@christiandior5002]

It’s such a tiring process 😂

[@fonzarellyplay370]

If I have red And black or does the shirt need to be all white?

[@3EYEZ-ILY]

would this kit dye the brown tag on back of levi jeans?

[@flipgirl3479]

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

[@xerzfx]

no

[@shesonfire_]

Is there a reason why you guys don’t carry ivory or cream or have any formulas for it?

[@SosaaOnfroy]

it's okay without fixative?

[@TangerineSkies666]

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

[@tinatalker178]

@ritcolorcommunity Will this kit be enough to dye 2 XL mens 100% cotton t-shirts? And what will happen to the white silk screen printing on them?

[@heidistabbert3062]

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.

[@pistolen87]

Does dye the dye expire? Can I keep the dye water for another shirt or pants a week later?

[@PukDog]

What if your top has like rubber my black Armani is fading but has white rubber ?

[@a.d.5078]

And if there is small white logo on my tshirt, its done with threads, how to do the clororing?

[@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.

[@MinikeTate]

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? Q2?why do these clothes still look semi faded not "jet black"Q3? Will Rit answer these serious inquiries 😊

What if something has zippers? Is it safe?

[@MrMeatPotatoes]

I’m trying to dye the stitching on my golf bag. Would it bleed into the leather surrounding the stitching?

[@hrziola]

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).

[@MA-Elec]

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

[@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.

[@Bern2Lavish]

What if the jacket 50 cotton 50 polyester

[@DUMALLIGGedrickg]

how much clothes can it cover?

[@jamesworld8198]

I tried to dye my black shirts. Unfortunately the prints were affected by the dye. Do you have remedies to remove the black colors from the print? Thank you very much

[@MA-Elec]

What did it do to the prints? I'm afraid of this happening to me!

[@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

[@sidinsertlastname3346]

Does this work for bleach clothing

[@francescmarin4647]

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

[@-Blixzy-]

Will it dye over the print on my hoodie?

Yes cover it off it's and ugly name

[@ceciliam8697]

She just did everything the bottle said to do and the fabric I dyed went back to how it looked before it was even dyed I’m so sad right now

[@wendygonzales9417]

Yes

[@skatep]

Has anyone tried this in green colour pants to black and does it work ?

[@NurseMamaLuxuries]

What about 42% Lyocell?

[@jaredgillenwater4221]

"If it's not hot enough, don't worry. You can always add hot water from the stove." Well, damn... I don't own a stove.

[@dizzyelytra]

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.

[@iminharmsway]

"Cotton" has 2 Ts in the middle.

[@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!
