It has been about 50 years since I last used a Rit dye. The liquid form (which I don't think existed in the 70s) is much easier to use than the powder. I had to increase the temperature of my hot water heater several times to produce water that approached the recommended 140 degrees F. The garment I dyed started out white. Now it is a rich "mustard green". This is not exactly the color I wanted but I mixed a couple of dye colors and not having read the directions thoroughly, the garment remained in the dye bath longer than it needed to. The result was darker than expected, but the color is even and saturated. Note the "before & after" photo.

I used this color and a second color to dye in my front-loading washer. I used the YouTube directions for front loaders. I used the salt and boiling water. I just carried my electric kettle to the laundry room and plugged it in there. It was simple to boil water to dissolve the salt and to add extra water to the washer through the detergent dispenser to make sure that the salt and the dye had enough water in my water-saving machine to dye evenly. I used the long cycle to give it lots of time. Then I washed the dyed clothes, took them out to dry them, and wiped the seals (the only place the dye stuck) with a wet rag, washed an empty load in the machine, then washed a dark load. No dye was left to cause any problems. My clothes look great!

These dyes work great, I ordered the fuchsia to dye my 3 year olds shoes that’s she claimed weren’t pretty 😂. I just wish I would have ordered a lighter pink or purple. These almost look red. But if anyone needs to dye Vans all white shoes it worked great! I did a teaspoon of dish soap, salt & boiling water with the dye.

I love this brand for life for years but I’m doing tie dying with Ritz but value for the money
Only problem I’ve had was in shipping top got cracked I received it dye in cardboard box I messaged Amazon w/photo and boom they sent more asap but great colors and pricing
Plus availability of range of colors I couldn’t find in stores locally

Followed the instructions and my faded jeans are vibrant again. Coverage is great and no streaks!

I used this to Dai, one of my favorite rompers that had a little situation when washing. I followed the directions to a T and everything came out really well, and it was very easy to use.

Totally useless. Midnight blue 😂😂😂😂
Not sure if some kind of user error compounded the poor quality of this dye. Uses salt as per cotton instructions, water temperature kept at around 170F. For hours! Nothing
Just a ruined hammock. Original color was orange, resulted color nasty darker orange

I just poured half the dye on top of jacket in the washer drum, shut the door and set it on a quick wash at 40° degrees it came out lovely.
First time using this . Will use again .

Worked well - I re-dye clothing or other textile things when they had either faded or when I've accidentally splashed them with bleach products. Good value for money.
