Rit Dye Powder-Denim Blue

Firstly l have to say that the notification for delivery of this item came from TEMU! Twice now this has happened, why??? The product itself was brilliant as l expected it to be, l used it to stove top dye a couple of 100% cotton knits and they came out perfectly. I've ordered a different colour to dye some more. You have to follow the instructions, which are simple enough. I haven't used it on mixed /man made fibers (ld probably buy the synthetic version for those) but lm very impressed with the results.

This stuff really works. Much better than its competitor. Made my jeans look new again.

I dyed a pair of light grey jeans with 2 x packets of Rit cocoa brown The results werent great but adequate coverage of the jeans so can wear them with some reservation! A bit patchy ad not a full dark colour.

Colours are enticing ..however I’ve always got dots of extra non diluted colour ..not a great fan..always had better results with Dylon..I am not a novice iv been dying items for years

I used two different shades of Rit powder to dye two old cotton bedspreads with tassels - one Kelly Green and the other Wine - in my washing machine. (I was trying to copy the effect of an unaffordable throw I saw in Anthropologie, ha ha.) I'm pleasantly surprised by the results, particularly because I should have used two packages of dye for each item given their weight. There were no streaks at all and the coverage was even, including through the tassels. The colour would doubtless have been deeper if I'd used two packets, but I'm quite happy with a slightly 'faded' look for this project. Having researched methods, I followed the advice to wash the items first WITHOUT FABRIC CONDITIONER and make sure they're still soaking wet when you start the dying process (so drain, don't spin, after the wash). My notes for the next time I do this are: 1) Tear open the cardboard box to access full instructions for 'advanced washing machine' printed on its inner side; 2) wear rubber gloves to open the envelope of powder and also - VERY IMPORTANT - eye protection; 3) put the contents of the dye envelope plus one US cup of salt into the powder dispenser; 4) use the soak programme; 5) as the machine fills, carefully chase the powder/salt from the dispenser into the drum with a kettle full of hot water; 6) let the soak programme do its work and make sure it's drained at the end; 7) use a gentle detergent and a delicates cycle to wash the item; 8) send the item through a rinse and spin cycle then hang out to dry. When I'd finished both items I ran a little bleach through a 90-degree wash cycle and drained. I'll report back if my next wash comes out wine or green coloured, but I'm pretty sure everything's colour-fast. (My washing machine is about 12 years old, BTW, so there are probably more state-of-the-art ways of doing all this.) It's all quite time-consuming and slightly messy but interesting. I don't think it's massively environmentally friendly, not least because of the energy and water used, but probably better than sending old stuff to landfill. I reckon the total cost for the bedspreads (which are about 20 years old) in dye, salt and water (I used free solar electricity) was quite a bit less than £10 for the two - so take that, Anthropologie!

Total RUBBISH. I followed the instructions as written on the inside of the box which in itself was very odd. I left it to soak for several hours and then as suggested rinsed the article in cold water. I hung the item which was cotton outside and overnight. The following morning it’s as if the time, effort and energy was for absolutely nothing as the dye didn’t take. It’s not the cost particularly but the time and effort I wasted on this rubbish. I most certainly DO NOT recommend this product unless you have time and money to waste.

cool

True to colour. Very strong.

Cette teinture pour vêtements est magique, j'avais une grosse tache d'eau de javel sur ma tunique et tout est parti. Je suis vraiment satisfaite de cette marque et je la recommande. Je vais en acheter de plusieurs tons pour ceux que je veux rafraîchir. Le prix est tout petit par rapport aux autres et il fait mieux le job que des marques plus connues. Merci RIT ❤⚘

Utilisé pour teindre un plaid en laine, il a juste parsemé la couverture de taches...

So much color

Ich hatte das Produkt bestelt, weil man den Eindruck erweckt bekommt, dass es sich wirklich um Wein handelt. Im Nachhinein erzählte man mir, dass es ein Färbemittel sei.

Ho cercato a lungo una tintura che andasse bene per la lana e mi sono imbattuta in questa il cui costo per la quantità non è irrisorio. Ho seguito attentamente tutte le direttive, ma il risultato finale è stato a chiazze e poco omogeneo.
