Rit Dye Liquid – Wide Selection of Colors – 8 Oz. (Teal)

I dyed several items in my front loader with one bottle per garment,and the garments (and one Vera bag) came out gorgeous. It’s an intense and happy shade. The white cotton and linen soaked up the color quite intensely. A cotton shirt with a no wrinkle finish came out pale but still pretty. The Vera bag was shades of beige and a bit humdrum and came out aqua with greenish beige flowers, looking much better. With all the dye loads, I simply put a half cup of salt in hot water and one bottle of dye, put dye fixative in the tray, and started the load to add the hot water. I added the garment as soon as the dye and salt were mixed and ran the load without extra rinses. It was easy. I would just advise NOT putting dye in the tray because it spilled over and made a mess when I did that. Just don’t pour the dye onto a garment. Also, make sure that your garment is clean and really wet when you put it into the front loader washer. I do miss having a top loader for dying things, because you can dye more at once and get even saturation of color, but it can still be done with a front load washer with success. Post script. I used cherry red and loved it. I used the color fixative. I wore my 100% linen shirt dyed cherry red and my skin and bra got dyed. I rewashed it and put it in more color fixative. Still not color fast and is now a pale color. Not happy with cherry red. The other colors are more colorfast, I think. I noticed that someone tried to dye her rykas after putting scotchbright on them. The scotchbright is a repellant, so it stopped the dye from penetrating. Just keep in mind that any chemical treatments done to fabric will effect color absorption. It’s possible that my linen shirt isn’t holding the red dye because it was somehow treated with a finish that is not on the fabric label. I bought more than one of this shirt because it was on sale and am dyeing it now. It seems like it is uneven in coloration, so possibly it’s the shirt.

High quality dye that gives beautiful, glowing color. I used this both in tie dye projects and to dye pine cones for decorating wreaths. The dye is very durable on fabric and withstands many washes without fading. The pine cones turned out with a pleasant pink tint that was perfect. Great functionality. Wonderful value!

I bought black paint for my swimsuit, which had faded significantly. I intended to achieve a black color, but after applying it over the blue, it turned green, which I actually loved. If I'd painted it a second time, it might have turned a deeper black. The instructions warned that some fabrics can't be dyed, and unfortunately, the threads of my nylon swimsuit stayed blue. However, this doesn’t detract from its look. I'm considering trying other colors for future projects! Thanks

This dye is extremely easy to use, even in the washing machine. The only reason I gave this product a 4 is due to the color on the bottle is NOT exact. It is lighter and upon doing more research, I have found it takes several colors mixed to get the color you actually are looking for.

I used the product to dye two white T shirts and one pair of worn looking and bleached damaged jeans in an attempt to make them look good. The shirts came out beautiifully.. a perfect denim blue with no blotches. The Jeans almost as good, but the bleached damaged areas still showed discoloration. I had a very large kitchen sink, one 3 gallon bucket and one 5 gallon bucket to use. Also a big pot on the stove to get an additional 6 quarts of water near boiling to make sure the dye bath was hot enough. Following the instructions was important. The process was interesting.. and not a drop was spilled. I also used the color fixative at the the end. Final step was a cold rinse and spin in the washing machine. To salvage a valuable garment... worth it. For a cheap T shirt... maybe not. I'll experiment more over time!

To be fair I tried to scotchbright the shoes first. That didn't work. Since I didn't want to spend every night washing my shoes, I decided my best bet would be to dye them. I bought azure blue. Does my picture look azure blue to you? After purusing Amazon, this product had the best reviews. Upon receiving my product and reading the directions, I had difficulty finding out what fabric was even on my shoes. Turns out polyester- which is apparently difficult to dye. I am going to tell you what I did in case it helps someone. I looked up a couple different sites including the manufacturers site. One site said plastic or glass is best to use and not metal because it can change the composition of the die but you are supposed to have the dye at 140 degrees or more for an hour. I couldn't figure out how to do that without using a metal pan. Then the site that discussed dyeing polyester said you had to put 1 cup of salt into the pot of at least 3 gallons and let it dissolve. The site said to use double the amount of dye for polyester so I dumped the whole jar in. I added the teaspoon of soap the conditioner advised and after stirring. I set my shoes in to soak for an entire hour. Now, the site told me I had to follow up with some sort of rinse set which of course I did not have. So I looked up home made alternatives. This is where I made my big mistake. I used vinegar. Too much I think. The site said 1 parts to 4 . And to use cold water. I filled up the sink. And put a cup in. It looked like the dye just came right off. The shoes are a lot lighter than I wanted and not as uniform in color. It will be better than the white. But it would have been better if the seller had told me when I purchased it that I would need another product. Or maybe even mentioned polyester on their bottle at all. I had to search it out and piece the info together and it ended up being more stressful than it had to be. So all you get is 3 stars for the hassle and my uneven dye job.

My dye arrived on time and worked beautifully for my project! I was able to get the uniform bubble gum pink i was looking for on the cotton shirt i was dying.

I love the color. Follow directions explicitly. I should have tried 1 item...instead I put 3. Came out spotty :[ The color, though spotty was brilliant. I will use again...following directions.

Great

Easy to use in the washing machine, very even dye which has lasted well with no fading.

Non ha funzionato ,ho seguito passo passo le istruzioni ma le macchie sono rimaste….

Me resultó difícil encontrar el tinte de ropa flúor. Únicamente encontré éste. He seguido las una totalmente. No sirve para nada. Es decir, son los únicos que tienen la osadía de comercializarlos pero sabiendo que no funcionan. Un timo.

Good colour easy to use
