Nakoma Rit Dye Powder-Color Remover 2oz

Did exactly what I needed it to do. Had a dress that I love(fits perfectly and it has POCKETSSSSSS) and wished it came in other colours, alas it did not. The dress came on sale so decided to buy another one and give this a go. Followed instructions to the letter, it was quite laborious stirring a big pot of boiling water, at first wasn't convinced, even at the end of the 20 mins but after rinsing etc it was very pale so went for the dye. Beyond happy with the result and may buy a couple more and treat myself to the rainbow. NB this dress is full cotton/muslin but the tread is synthetic blend but it still came out well. Picture collage is original green, Rit colour removed then Dylon Tulip Red 'machine all in one'.

My favourite white bath towels became an insipid green when a cheap tea towel got into the wash. Rit made things worse and was a total waste of money.I followed the instructions for using a front-loading washing machine. I used 2 packs of Rit for 2 bath towels (small load) ran the hottest cotton wash.Whilst the dye has marginally lessened overall (now a chewing gum grey/green) it's far from a win because there's now very obvious dirty dark green stains and streaks scattered across the towels. I can only assume this where the towels reabsorbed the dye. These dark green stains are actually more concentrated areas of colour than existed before.If Rit worked 2 packs of dye would have been cheaper than replacing the towels. If I were judging the amount of dye that has been removed I'd say it would take another 2-4 packs to remove all the offending dye from the towels. However, there's no point in even attempting this if the towels reabsorb the dye in streaks in a washing machine.Rit might work on the stove, but not in the washing machine.It also stinks even if you do ventilate.

Rit products are generally very good and are my goto dye brand.The colour/stain remover I found didn't work as well as expected. The item I needed to remove colour and stairs from wasn't any bigger than a sock. The result looked good while in the solution turning a bleached colour fairly soon.However, once removed and washed out the colour or at least a pale version of it started to return.On the upside the detail stitching remained black unlike when I bleached a similar item, where the detail stitching faded from black to a silver/grey colour.I did however find it was good for a colour fade, I dyed an item which I decided was too coloured but after 40 minutes in the solution it faded to a more accurate colour.Though the item was freshly dyed with rit dye, colour and stain remove had minimum effect

Arrived on time. Worked well.

It was super easy to use, however it only lifted my curtains slightly, my curtains are a cotton and silk blend.

I used a big pan, bought a load of water to the boil, down to simmer, chucked this stuff in, opened the windows because it doesn't smell great, and threw in a pink sock that ought to be white.I was immediately disappointed - after a minute or so it was still pink! I'd read other reviews here and half expected a failure. Then after a few more minutes the sick went completely white. Absolutely magic.I put in my white/green hoodie thinking "it's pink anyway, if I need up the green I can live with that" - after simmering away for a while it's back to its old white/green self.I'm amazed it worked to be honest, especially with the number of reviews saying it did nothing. I can only assume they didn't follow the instructions.

So disappointed. This is the second round of the stovetop method which Rit tell you is the most reliable with cotton. The dye was only very partially removed and unevenly, which is making the dying of the colour I wanted next, a right mess. I'm very disappointed seeing as I took textbook care in the whole process, at a great deal of water, time and energy, and inevitably damaging the fibres a little. As for my linen trousers (separate batch), absolutely NO dye got removed.I had been disappointed in the smaller range of colour in the Dylon hand dye sachets but I think I'll get back to them in the future - at least for dye removal. Significantly cheaper too 😔

Did not work
