My mother used to dye clothes, sheets, etc, all the time. Wasn't this complicated. Fill the washer with hot water, add Rit dye, (she always used the boxes, not bottles of Rit), add some Ivory laundry soap or Woolite, stir with a broom handle or agitate on delicate for a minute or two, turn washer off and let clothes soak for 30 minutes or so, can't remember. Then, turn the washer back on to drain and rinse. I was just checking because I'm getting ready to dye bath towels and a bath rug and was checking the steps. Think I'll do it mom's way.

[@sunshine3914]

It will dry up to 5 shades lighter. I had a blue tie dye I wanted solid, & the color was amazing after 15 minutes. I knew that it would dry lighter, but it’s easy enough to make it darker later. Also, there’s two different types dyes; all purpose for natural material & another for synthetic or add vinegar to the all-purpose.

[@JamaicaDancehallTV]

I dont know how its possible to overact while dyeing clothes

[@jeremiahpatlan]

Going to try this: I boiled roughly 2 gallons of water (after a bit I just used hot tap water to speed up the process) Then I added salt and a little detergent to the hot water Dampened 3 small shirts, 100% cotton, and added them to the hot water Poured some dye as I mixed Stirred for 10 minutes Rinsed with cold water (I decided to pass on the fixative) Then I washed them in warm water. Then I might lay them out to dry, or I'll use the drying machine (?) Edit: just layed them out to dry. It appears as though the dye was distributed unevenly. This could be because I added the dye after putting the shirts in and not before. The color looks really good though. Edit: Shirts are dry. Definitely uneven coloring - if you want a solid unbroken color then ensure the dye is mixed in with the hot water mixture before adding the clothes. Overall, good stuff. Might practice more in the future. Thanks for the product.

This was a lifesaver for me.

Oh man i was so upset . Mines got ruined much worse. I used this dye and fixed it. I noticed that the black i used is a little darker then the actual tracksuit so if you look super close you can see the line of the 2 colours but, it looks so much better then orange spots.

[@ritcolorcommunity]

So glad this helped! Bleach spots are hard to cover up 100% because the chlorine tends to degrade the fabric making it hard for the dye to adhere properly. You can try spot dyeing with a cotton swab and set the dye with a steam iron. You can find the complete how-to here: www.ritdye.com/instructions/spot-dyeing/

Thanks for this video. It answered all my questions how to dye. Much appreciation.

[@speeeee35]

Why is it that if you straight dye you only need to leave it for 10-30 minutes for *best* results, but if you tiedye (using squeeze bottle method) you have to leave it for 4-6 hours, with 2 hours being the absolute minimum if you’re in a super rush or whatever (it’ll still work)? I have always wondered that. I used to think it was bc, when you submerge-dye, you can keep it on a stovetop and piping hot the entire time, whereas tiedye obviously gets cooler as you’re working.... but I’ve since noticed that they recommend short times even when it’s not directly on the stove- like in this video or many others I’ve seen. I’m legitimately asking about the science behind it as I am a professional designer and many of my clothes that I sell are dip dyed or tie-dyed. It’s just so bizarre to me that the difference would be THAT great. And I’ve never heard anyone say anything like, “If you can keep the dye in the bottle piping hot, you don’t need to leave it as long.” Like, I dye my items with a bottle with a beer cozy over the bottle so it stays hot, and doesn’t burn me lol, and then I let it sit on a shelf directly above my oil burner (kids: that’s the thing that makes the heat that heats your house in the winter) to keep it very warm while setting. So yeah, I just don’t see why it would be the difference of 20minutes versus four hours lol.... or is it more about letting the dye disperse? But again.... I’ve never heard anyone say that....

This of course considering that I dyed the pants in Hot water and salt.

What about shirts with screen printing? Will it affect the color on the screen print too? Let's say black dye on white screen print

[@KyleDisney]

I hope not because im bout to do this to my supreme box logo tshirt wish me luck

[@ritcolorcommunity]

Yes, it will. If the garment you are dyeing has a pattern or logo, the color you use will mix with the existing color(s) in the fabric and create new colors. In other words, the rules of color mixing apply. When selecting a color, think about how it will mix with the colors in the pattern. For example, if you were to use a blue dye on a white item with a pink flower pattern, the pink flowers will turn purplish (blue and pink make purple) while the rest of the fabric will dye blue. Even if you were to overdye the patterned garment with a dark color, you may find that the color will appear lighter along the patterned area.

But they didnt have anything black left so i bought it anyway thinking i could just dye it black.. I did everything in this tutorial even left the fabric submerged for 30mins.. It came out looking kind of black but after rinsing and rewashing it ... its just exactly the same..

[@milliem1508]

What kind of fabric is it? Some need additional salt, some need vinegar. And use the fixative after.

[@gusmoneyxd2737]

Is it possible to air dry my clothes after dying because not everyone could afford a washing machine smh

[@LuckyStrike-ov9cd]

Dont waste your money I just destroyed a beautiful Hugo Boss polo shirt trying to make it black dont make the same mistake

[@lesliecardenas921]

I did it worked you did something wrong

[@Squids_Vlogs]

lol yeah it takes a couple tried to get a light color shirt to become dark... why didnt you try it on another shirt or rag or something lol

[@marikiemarie7622]

That's your fault. I've always had good results. I never use salt though. Dont know why they mention it. Salt make my stuff come out splotchy

I'm over here dancing and clapping to this music

[@Spooky-Sara]

Do you HAVE to use the fixative or is there an alternative? I bought Rit Dye and I’m ready to dye my clothes but I forgot to buy fixative!

[@joshbigums3780]

Did it still work ? Or did you buy the other liquid for the color to stay ?? 😏

[@Spooky-Sara]

@@joshbigums3780 hey! So I dyed a white crop top using black rit dye and it ended up turning plum-ish purple. I had used dish soap, salt, and some vinegar in the dye mixture. It didn’t fade when I washed it, at least not enough to be noticeable. Hope this helped!

well, I came here to dye clothes, but now I just wanna take her on a date...

[@MedievalMan]

I came here to see the cute girl. And I don't know what she's doing, 'cause I'm not looking anywhere else on the screen.

[@SoniaDominique_]

Great tutorial, will be using the concept with a washing machine...

[@emmanueldiaz1299]

Can anyone verify if you really need the color stay if you’re doing black pants or black shirts? Or am I ok just using the Roy dye?

[@mmeeelany3786]

I have the same question

[@bunnieapplebaum]

If a step seems optional, it probably is depending on your comfort level. I'm using the colour stay because I don't separate my loads and I have work shirts that I can't alter. But if you would've asked me a few months ago when we didn't have uniforms I wouldn't have spent the extra money on it bc all my clothes are black anyway. So it's really just up to what risks you're personally willing to take

God damn. Too fast

As soon as I started this new hobby, almost everyone in town is giving me compliments about my jeans

[@davidclark3147]

Sure glad I saw that video before I tempted dying a piece of clothes that's definitely not worth the efford And then you got to buy some other s*** to keep to die on. Thank you for talking me out of buying some

[@kolsakfrm503]

I have a red long sleeve shirt.. Do i need to remove the red color and then dye it black or can i just use the black dye with double dosage..? Thanks

[@paulklee]

helpful and what a lovely lady!

[@johnmeye]

Excellent presentation & music! Fun watching 🙂

[@BabyLifestuff]

Question , if you dye polyester, what is better to add ? Salt or vinegar? Instructions don't talk about much about polyester and I'm learning the hard way....I bought the wrong Rit and then color was washing completely off front the shirt 🙄, then I found out I have to get the Dye more version...etc , help pls

[@ritcolorcommunity]

Hey there! For polyesters, we don't add salt or vinegar--that's just for natural fibers. You can find the Dyemore Tutorial and tips here: www.ritdye.com/instructions/how-to-use-dyemore-for-synthetic-fibers/

[@SillyTubereal]

Is there any way to dye a shirt with writing on it?

[@ritcolorcommunity]

Hi there! Depending on the material, often times screen printed designs act as a natural resist to our All-Purpose Dyes. Here are some examples of overdyeing: www.ritdye.com/2020/03/04/overdyeing-patterns
