RitBack to Black Dye Kit, 5.88 x 5 x 2.38

AMAZING!! I work at a job that I have to wear BLACK jeans. They can't be faded AT ALL. Needless to say, black fades like crazy, plus, I had tossed my other work jeans into the washer and I guess it picked up the bleach from the load before so it made them splotchy. Well, these are the only brand of jeans that fit me perfectly and they cost $40/ pair. Can't afford a new pair right now so I went with RIT dye. It was so easy to use. I mixed half the bottle, salt and dish soap, PER PAIR. I will be using this $10 fix again!! Saved me a bundle by not having to buy two new pairs of jeans to be at dress code. You can see by the photos the results.

Recommend this 1000 percent!!!! Bought this to save a $150 pair of Joe’s Jeans ( that I was considering throwing away because they turned grey after washing them several times in the washing machine) and this product did the job ! Jeans are looking brand new with no signs of dyeing.

Make sure you pay attention to the wieght measurements of what you are dyeing per the instructions, or you will end up with things looking blue.This jet black is in fact blacker than their regular black, but all black pigment is blue to some degree from what I understand so just be aware.you may want to order more than one kit for a large project

Worked as I hoped. I love my black cardigans and they’re tough to replace, so I decided to give them a color refresh with this dye. I didn’t follow instructions exactly (didn’t add the listed items on the instructions to the dye mixture), but they still came out perfect. I used half a bottle of each for both processes for three large cardigans. My red bucket is stained, as expected, but not as much as I thought it would be. This is a great alternative to replacing faded black clothes.

I always use Rit to dye my clothes back to the color it was when I first bought the item. It's never a let down and my clothes always come out looking brand new.

If I knew how much effort dyeing my pants would take, and how much water I would need to use, I may have continued wearing my faded black pants as is. The idea of re-using old clothing is nice, but instead of dyeing, it's more economical and environmentally friendly to let the clothing fade and keep wearing it. I would only recommend using this product on clothing that is irreplaceable. For something like my pants, which are already around 7 years old, I could buy another pair for $50-$100 and keep wearing the faded ones at home or when working outside. Clothing that is faded is often worn in other ways too and may not last much longer after being dyed.I used the bucket method for dying the cotton pants. 60 minute soak in hot water with salt, small squirt of dish soap, plus the full bottle of dye. The instructions say to stir "consistently" so I set a timer to move the pants around in the dye every 10 minutes. Then another 20 minutes in the color fix with more hot water, stirring every 5 minutes. Then hand washed in another bucket with laundry detergent. Lastly, I repeatedly filled and emptied two 5 gallon buckets of water, trying to rinse the pants. The instructions say to rinse until the water begins to be clear. My rinse water was black every time I poured it out. Eventually I got tired of squeezing water out of the pants over and over and put them in my washing machine for one last double rinse. At this point I must have used at least 30 gallons of water, a lot of that being hot water, and still the pants left behind black dye in the washing machine after two rinse cycles.The pants now look very black and like-new. But due to the cost of the product, the cost of heating gallons and gallons of water, the cost of using many more gallons of cold water, and the roughly two hours I spent on this plus all the cleanup time, I don't know if I would do this again.

So far, so good. I used this product to dye black jeans and it worked well, they look like new. Let’s find out after I wash them. I will update the review after I wash the jeans

This should be something I enjoy. It should be right up my alley I enjoy dying clothes. However.First off, my pictures. The dye works better at permanent staining my furniture and countertops than it does on the tshirts. Also I did the stove top method, and it’s near impossible to get the dripping tshirts out of the dye without getting everywhere. All over the stove. It’s really hard to clean off. It leaves this really weird residue. So that’s frustrating.Dying the clothing in of itself is a very time consuming process, especially if ur hoping to dye more than one item. The bottle says you can dye two things with half of it, so u will only be able to dye *maybe* 4 things black at most. Maybe.If it’s a dark color already, namely dark gray the dye will do nothing. But I mean, dye works best on white and lighter colors anyway.I tried to dye 3 things black and one thing would dye grey because it had too much poleyester in it. Bear that in mind too.The black things I dyed multiple times, and by day 3 of staying up til 3am trying get a cohesive color I was exhausted, I’ll be honest. It’s very blotchy, which gets frustrating given how it takes an hour to be able to dye it again to try and fix the blotches. It takes 50 minutes minimum before u can try dye it again. The items that were black I had to dye 3-4 times and they were still blotchy. I fully got so mad and started dipping a paint brush into the dye itself, not diluted in anything to fix the blotches by hand. Not even sure if *that* works.The gray thing looks tye dyed. I only tried this on tshirts. Which u would think would be the best and easiest thing for dye to work on. But oh well. I am exhausted by this product. I can’t say I reccommend.
