Rit Dye 88150 All Purpose Liquid Dye, Black, 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I use Rit dye all the time, here are some helpful tips! Step by Step CHOOSING FABRICS. Rit works best on many natural, washable fabrics and materials, such as: a. 100% cotton, linen, silk, wool, ramie b. Synthetics such as rayon and nylon c. Fiber blends with at least 60% cotton or other dyeable fiber (blends will tint evenly but will not achieve full color) d. Nylon-based plastic such as those found in buttons, fasteners and lacrosse sticks e. Natural materials such as wood, wicker, paper, feathers and cork But there are fabrics and materials that will not accept dye, such as: a. 100% polyester, acrylic, acetate, fiberglass, spandex and metallic fibers b. Fabrics with rubber backing (bath mats or throw rugs) c. Fabrics with special finishes such as water repellents d. Fabrics with bleach damage or extensive staining e. Fabrics washable only in cold water or labeled “dry clean only” f. Polyethylene plastics such as golf discs g. Polycarbonate plastics such as eyeglass frames Fiber content and weight also effect how color appears making fabrics like cotton, wool and silk absorb dye differently, slightly changing the hue and brightness of the chosen color. If you are in doubt as to whether your fabric will accept dye or achieve the color you want, we recommend testing a swatch. DYE PREP. Cover work area with a plastic table cover or newspaper and have paper towels or sponges handy to protect against any possible spills. Wear rubber gloves to protect hands from getting stained and to insulate them when working with hot water. Use plastic buckets or stainless steel pots for the dye bath. You can also dye in a stainless steel sink. Don’t dye or rinse items in a porcelain or fiberglass sink or tub as they are likely to get stained./p> ACHIEVING TRUE COLOR. Always follow manufacturer’s care instructions for your fabric as well as Rit Dye package or bottle instructions. Remove stains on fabric or use Rit Color Remover before dyeing to get fabric to an off-white or cream color. This will help achieve uniform color results when dyeing. Dissolve powder dye thoroughly in 2 cups of very hot water first to avoid dye spotting. Stir dissolved powder dye or well-shaken liquid dye into dye bath until evenly dispersed. Never pour liquid or powder dye directly on fabric unless looking to achieve a specific creative effect. Be sure to use enough dye for the weight or size of the project. For example, for a pound of dry fabric (about 3 yards), use one package of Rit powder or 1/2 bottle of Rit liquid in 3 gallons of water. You want enough water for the fabric to move freely in the dye bath so that it can absorb the dye evenly across the garment. When dyeing 1 pound of dry fabric in dark or bright colors such as Black, Dark Brown, Cocoa Brown, Navy, Purple, Wine, and Dark Green, use double the amount of dye (2 packages of Rit powder or 1 bottle of Rit liquid) in 3 gallons of water. For the deepest color, use a water temperature of 140ºF/60ºC and keep heat constant while dyeing (the stove top method or a washing machine work best). Note: If tap water is not hot enough, heat water on the stove, in a teakettle or in the microwave. If dyeing a garment more than one color, it’s usually best to start with the lightest color and move to the darkest. For more intense color when dyeing fabrics containing cotton, rayon, ramie, or linen, add 1 cup salt to the dye bath. When dyeing nylon, silk and wool, add 1 cup white vinegar to the dye bath. If possible delay adding the salt or vinegar until 5 minutes after the fabric has been in the dye bath. The delay will help to promote level dyeing. Add 1 tablespoon laundry detergent to all dye baths to help promote level dyeing. The longer the garment is immersed in the dye bath, the deeper the resulting color. Items can remain in the dye bath up to 1 hour as long as the water remains hot. You’ll also have to make sure the item receives constant agitation or stirring. Garments will also look darker when wet and prior to washing. When you remove clothes from dye bath, rinse in warm, then cool water until water runs clear. (Warm water helps to rinse off surface dye more effectively.) Wash your fabric/clothes in warm water with mild detergent and then rinse thoroughly in cool water. Machine dry or hang dry. CARING FOR DYED ITEMS. For the first two or three times, wash your dyed item by itself in cool water with a small amount of non-bleaching detergent. Always wash your dyed clothing with similar colors in cool water with mild detergent. Dry cleaning silks and special fabrics is recommended. CLEANUP. Clean containers and sinks immediately after dyeing by scrubbing with hot water and powdered cleanser or bleach. Clean washing machine using highest water level with hot water, detergent and 1 cup chlorine bleach using complete wash cycle. Clean lint traps. Plastic or rubber machine parts may be tinted but will not stain laundry.

Rit Dye Liquid Fabric Dye gets the job done, mostly. It’s easy to use and great for reviving old clothes or fixing color mishaps. The black dye works well on cotton and other natural fabrics, getting them pretty dark if you follow the instructions. For example, it saved a pair of my jeans that had a bleach spot. But, there are some downsides. It doesn't always work perfectly on all fabrics—sometimes it can turn out purple instead of black, especially on synthetic materials. Also, the color may fade after a few washes, which can be a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a good product for its price, but results can vary depending on the fabric and how well you follow the instructions.

Excellent

For the price, you really can't NOT try this out. I dyed a grey, jersey/cotton fabric tank top black. I wasn't totally sure what the material was because I cut the tag off, but I went ahead and chose to use salt over vinegar. I boiled a pot of water, and then added some hot water from the tap which wasn't boiling but still very hot into a bucket. I added lots of salt, didn't measure, but I would guess maybe 8-9 teaspoons or more. I added about 3 drops of dishwashing liquid (Dawn) to the hot water in the bucket, which I thought was weird to add because normally dishwashing liquid has a bleaching component to fabric but it worked fine. I mixed the water, then added 1/3 of the dye bottle and mixed again. When you put your clothing item in the water, mix it immediately for at least 10 minutes. I used my hands (with gloves) to make sure all parts of the fabric were getting equal exposure to the dye at the same time. I left it in there for 45 minutes, mixing every minute at least, rinsed out all of the dye with cold water in the sink until the water looked mostly clear (about 12 minutes). I put it in the washing machine with an old, dark blanket on "delicate" cycle with 1/4 cup of detergent. I let the shirt dry on a drying rack rather than the dryer. It turned out a beautiful dark, charcoal grey. It didn't end up black, but I actually prefer it this way so it worked out for me. If I dyed it a second time I'm sure it would turn out black. I hope the color lasts! The shirt did not stain my washing machine.
