If the garment you are planning to dye has a light color and you are looking to dye it a darker color, then all we recommend doing is following the standard instructions for how to use Rit All-Purpose Dye (if dyeing cotton, linen, silk, wool, nylon, ramie or rayon) or Rit DyeMore (if dyeing garments that have more than 35% polyester, acrylic or acetate). If you are looking to: (a) dye a dark garment a lighter color or (b) completely change the color of a garment from one color to another (such as from purple to blue), then follow our instructions on how to change the color of a garment.

Our dyes are created based on the premise that they will dye white or light colored fabric the color of the dye.  So when our Black or Graphite dye is applied to a colored fabric, the original color of the fabric may still show through. To address this, we recommend adding an additional color (per our chart here) to counteract the undertones of the existing color. As an example, if you were dyeing red fabric, we would recommend adding some green dye to your dyebath. Since mixing red and green makes black, adding a green dye to your dyebath will counteract the red on the fabric.

Yes, Rit products may be used in front loader washers. You can find complete instructions here! We do not recommend using a front loading washing machine to dye extra-large items or multiple items

To get even color, make sure the dyebath is large enough for the fabric to flow freely while it’s being stirred. If it’s too bunched up, you may get splotches or light and dark areas. Also, stirring the fabric continuously while dyeing promotes consistent exposure to the dye.

If you are using Rit All-Purpose Dye, the most realistic test would be to use a scrap piece of fabric from the garment you are dyeing. However, you can also test color by dipping a paper towel into the dyebath. Paper towel is made of fibers that react to the dye in a similar way that cotton would.

If you are using Rit DyeMore Synthetic Dye, we recommend first heating up the dyebath on your stove to almost boiling. The most realistic test would be to use a scrap piece of fabric from the garment you are dyeing and leave it in the dyebath for 5 minutes. If a scrap piece of fabric isn’t available, then use a fabric swatch that has a similar fiber makeup as the garment (if available). Unfortunately, due to the complexities of dye synthetics, using a paper towel to test color will not give you a close representation of how the color will appear on your synthetic garment. It is worth a try if you do not have a fabric swatch available, but please keep in mind that it won’t provide you with an exact match.

If color is too light, add more dye; if color is too dark, add more water. If more dye is needed, add dye in increments of 1/4 to 1 teaspoon, depending upon the recipe or amount of fabric being dyed. If color is too dark, add hot water in 1 to 2 cup increments, depending upon size of dyebath and amount of fabric being dyed.

It depends upon the weight of the item you are dyeing. As a general guideline, one box of powder dye or 4 ounces of liquid dye will color one pound of dry weight fabric (about 3 yards of lightweight fabric or two adult large t-shirts). To obtain a lighter color, use less dye. For a darker or brighter color, double the amount of dye. We recommend at least 1 bottle of Rit All-Purpose Dye or 2 bottles of Rit DyeMore for darker colors. If dyeing 100% polyester, we recommend at least 1 bottle of Rit DyeMore.

You can estimate the weight of the item or use a food or home postal scale. For larger items, such as bedding or curtains, weigh yourself; then weigh yourself holding the item(s). The difference is the weight of the item(s).

This is generally caused by: (a) a combination of too much fabric and too little water in the washing machine or (b) the fabric got twisted during the dyeing cycle. We do not recommend using a front loading washing machine to dye extra-large items or multiple items. When dyeing in a top loader machine, check your fabric frequently. If it gets twisted, stop the machine and untwist it.

If you are working with cotton, linen, silk, wool or ramie and don’t like the color, you can remove it using Rit Color Remover. It will bring the fabric to a white or cream color. Then you can re-dye the garment to another color!

You can use our liquid to powder dye conversion chart at the bottom of this page.

Our favourite question! Ideally, take a hot shower and use regular bath soap. For a quick fix, mix sugar with hand lotion or use a body scrub to exfoliate it off. If you still have some dye left on your hands and want it off immediately, then you could apply a cleanser (such as Comet) on a brush with a little water. A second wash in clean soapy water will ensure that no cleanser remains on your hands to dry or damage the skin.

Any table or cooking salt can be used for dyeing, including kosher and sea salt.

You can either use a plastic container that you don’t mind getting stained, a glass container or a stainless steel sink. The container needs to be large enough for the items to move freely when dyed. We do not recommend dyeing in a porcelain or fiberglass sink. It is important to clean your container thoroughly right after dyeing. It’s always best to keep containers for dyeing separate from those used for cooking. If you must use a container that’s also used for cooking, it is recommended to clean the container with chlorine bleach or a powdered cleanser after dyeing.

Dye spots or specks are usually caused by one of three things: (1) powder dye was not fully dissolved in water prior to adding to the dye bath or washing machine; (2) the dye was poured directly onto the fabric rather than first being dissolved in water; or (3) the fabric was not agitated or stirred consistently during dyeing.

If you are working with cotton, linen, silk, wool or ramie and don’t like the color, you can remove it using Rit Color Remover. It will bring the fabric to a white or cream color. Then you can re-dye the garment to another color!

Unfortunately, Rit Color Remover does not work on synthetic fabrics (such as polyester, acrylic or acetate). However, you could overdye it with a darker color.

• Fibreglass, spandex, and metallic fibres
• Fabrics with severe bleach or stain damage,
• Fabrics with rubber backings
• Fabrics with special finishes, such as waterproof or stain-resistant finishes
• Fabrics labeled Washable Only in Cold Water or Dry Clean Only

Rit is only recommended for use with fabrics that can be washed in hot water. If a fabric is labelled “Cold Water Wash” or “Dry Clean Only,” there could be damage to the fabric if it is dyed in hot water. “Dry Clean Only” fabrics are often used in garments with interfacing and linings. These fabrics could shrink and cause puckering and unsatisfactory results.

Yes! However, the colour you choose to overdye with will mix with the existing colour (s) in the logo and create new colours. In other words, the rules of colour mixing apply. When selecting a colour, think about how it will mix with the colours in the logo. For example, if you were to use a blue dye on a white item with a pink flower pattern, the pink flowers would turn purplish (blue and pink make purple) while the rest of the fabric would dye blue. Even if you were to overdye the patterned garment with a dark colour, you may find that the colour will appear lighter along the patterned area.

Waterproof and stain-resistant finishes resist wetting by water and therefore resist penetration of the dye. If the fabric is dyed, the resulting colour will be as much as 50% lighter than the package colour. We do not recommend dyeing these fabrics. Wash-and-wear, permanent press, and crease-resistant finishes create resistance when dyeing and will result in much lighter colours. It is recommended to wash a new fabric or garment in warm water and laundry detergent prior to dyeing. This helps to remove any finishes that may interfere with dye absorption.

Rit will not cover stains. However, you can still dye the item an even color as long as you remove the stains first. We recommend using Rit Super Stain Remover or Rit Color Remover to do this.

Good question! Yes you can! We have a special page on our site that provides you with simple instructions on how to dye jeans. You can visit that page here.

Rit will not cover a stained or sun-faded area.  For stain spots, try to remove the stains using Rit Super Stain Remover.  For faded areas, try to remove the colour using Rit Color Remover. This will remove or reduce the overall color bringing it to an off-white or cream color. Then re-dye the item.

Bleach actually damages fabric, making it very difficult to dye. If you still want to try and dye the garment, you could try using Rit Color Remover on the garment before dyeing. However, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this will work.

Absolutely not! There is nothing in Rit that can in any way weaken, harm or deteriorate any textile fibre.

We do not recommend using Rit to dye upholstered fabric because after the dye is applied, the excess dye must be removed. This can be difficult to achieve with furniture and if the excess dye is not completely removed, it can rub off on clothing. Rit performs best with fabric that can be removed from the furniture, such as slipcovers or pillow covers, and immersed in a dye bath. Then the fabric can be rinsed and laundered as directed to remove the excess dye.

We do not recommend dyeing carpet in your home. Carpet dyeing is best done by professionals who use equipment that can attain high temperatures and high pressure combined with special chemicals and surfactants needed to apply the dye. The problems you may face dyeing your carpet at home include uneven colour and crocking, which means the dye will rub off if it has not been applied with sufficiently high pressure and heat. That said, if you have a small area that needs colour, you could try our spot dyeing method. If this does not work to your satisfaction, however, you will need to contact carpet professionals as cited above and pay for them to try to fix the discoloration so only use this method if you’re willing to take that risk.

The rubber backing on rugs will absorb the dye, yet it will not retain the dye. Therefore, the dye may later bleed onto your flooring or carpet. If you decide to give it a try, use caution and wash the rug several times before use.

Very often the thread used in the manufacturing of clothing is 100% polyester. While Rit DyeMore dyes polyester, Rit All-Purpose Dye does not. Accordingly, if you are using Rit All-Purpose Dye, the thread will remain its original color. This can create an interesting design effect, but it’s important to keep this in mind if that’s not the effect you want.

We are vegan and do not test ingredients or finished Rit products on animals. In fact, we develop our products to be safe for you, your home, your pets and the environment, and thus would never harm any animal in the process.

There is no difference in terms of color or dye performance. The liquid dye is already dissolved in water and more concentrated than the powder dye. So you only need to use half as much when using the liquid dye. Also, since the liquid dye is pre-mixed, this eliminates the need to dissolve the dye in hot water as you need to do with the powder dye before adding it to the dyebath. As a guideline, one bottle of liquid dye is equivalent to two boxes of powder dye.

Our time-tested dye formulas are a combination of various acid, disperse and direct dyes, along with sodium chloride. These various dye classes are used so that you can dye a wide variety of fabrics and materials. Our dyes are also non-toxic, as determined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Rit has an unlimited shelf life. When storing liquid dyes, be sure the cap is secure to prevent evaporation. Powder dyes should be stored in a cool, dry place. If you want to store powder dye after it has been mixed with water, you can do so in an airtight container.
