If you are in doubt as to whether your fabric will accept dye or achieve the color you want, we recommend testing a swatch first. Before dyeing, remove any visible stains on the garment. This will help achieve uniform color results when dyeing.

When desired color is achieved, remove from dye bath. Fabric will look darker when wet and will dry lighter. Squeeze out excess dye. To enhance the color and reduce color bleeding, use Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative immediately after dyeing and before washing, following these instructions.

Is your favorite black clothing faded? Now with Rit’s Back to Black Dye Kit, you can restore clothing back to a rich black in just a few easy steps. This kit can also be used to overdye clothing of any color to a vibrant black. And for tie-dyeing too! Included is Jet Black All-Purpose Dye, our darkest, richest black ever.

Use a scrap piece of fabric to wipe off any drips or unwanted dye. Use Q-tips to apply dye in narrow or hard-to-reach areas. Continue to brush dye evenly onto the sides and top of the shoe.

Spot dyeing is like spot cleaning. Use this method when you need to color correct an area or dye a very small amount of fabric.

If you are dyeing something with a print or logo, the color chosen for overdyeing will mix with the existing color(s) in the fabric and create new colors. In other words, the rules of color mixing apply. When selecting a color, think about how it will mix with the colors in the pattern.
