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

I have a pair of (almost white) running shoes that are impossible to keep clean. The only thing I could think of was to dye them darker. The RIT dye was easy to use, just filled a storage bin with water and the bottle of dye, and dunked the shoes for an hour or so. Color coverage was great.My Hokas went from pale gray and orange to darker gray and blue, unexpected surprise on the orange but I like this color combo much better.

I was hoping to repair a bleach stained pair of pants. RIT states that bleach damaged fibers may not take the dye. They were correct. It was worth a few bucks to try, didn't work. I now have a new pair of yard work pants....

I used this to dye my comforter and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!! Such a beautiful green!!

I wanted purple and the Eggplant dye was the closest. But it was going to take 3 weeks to come. So I ordered Violet thinking that it would be nearly purple. But it was far from it. The white jeans I dyed came out a deep pink and the salmon or coral jeans came out a nice rhubarb. Dying is fun and always a surprise. I had fun and won't hesitate to wear the rhubarb jeans. Not so sure about the pink ones.

Works great but makes alot of mess so work smart.Used it on cotton work pants and it was great my pants look like new.

I used it to dye these socks and it came out perfect the instructions were clear and easy to understand and they also have videos on how to do it but the whole process was pretty easy

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.

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.
