And hardly a trace of annoying Vocal Fry , which is a pleasant find , in a sea of an affected way talking trying to trendy, that so many other videos are these days.
Do I need to rinse with cool water when finished dying before using fixative? It doesn’t say? Do I just squeeze out? When you put it into the fresh water with fixative the water stays so clear straight off. Surely if the excess hasn’t been rinsed out it would bleed immediately? This is the only thing missing from this video and the written instructions.
I probably should’ve guessed it but I dyed all my white shirts black and got a dark purple instead. Maybe subsequent dyings I’ll get a black color. It worked wonders on some shorts I got bleach all over though.
I really needed this! Thank you for such great details. I feel armed with the correct information now, ready to battle my load of accidentally-bleached clothing.
What should I do if I want to restore a faded black hat, but the material is 50% synthetic? The Rit Dyemore product is not available in Black color, only graphite which is mostly a dark gray. Am I just out of luck?
As long as you use the right dye for the type of material you are dyeing, as well as hot water, it should last for just about as long as anything commercially dyed. If the coat has cotton in it, you can also use our ColorStay Dye Fixative to lock in the color even longer!
I have a black sleeveless dress thats 5% spandex, 71% cotton, 24% nylon. It says dry clean only, but i think thats just because its banana republic brand. Its started to fade around the armpits and collar- would this product work on it? (I got it at a thrift shop like 15 years ago, but its still gorgeous, would love to keep it).
@@heidistabbert3062 I ended up going for it, and the black came out great, with the white letters going a little gray. It just has a bit of a "vintage" look now, but the black is very black.
@@matheusfaria7230the paper instructions in the kit suggests using as hot of water as the fabric will allow. You could maybe adjust the soak times to account for the cooler water.
Logos are typically made of synthetic materials and so there is a chance the logo doesn't get dyed as this dye does not work on synthetics. You could try covering the logo with electrical tape. However, there always is a chance it does get a dyed a little.
Whatever you do dont follow that electrical tape advice, it will be 100% unefective. the only way is to unstitch it and sew it back after the cap is dyed.
I tried to dye my black shirts. Unfortunately the prints were affected by the dye. Do you have remedies to remove the black colors from the print? Thank you very much
Convinced rit has its own community at least i will until they answer the real questions Q1?why her jeans still look faded and yall put a matching semi faded shirt next to them to make me/us the jeans weren't faded? Q2?why do these clothes still look semi faded not "jet black"Q3? Will Rit answer these serious inquiries 😊
Do everything they tell you not to do to preserve blacks. Wash with colors, normal detergent, normal-heavy wash setting, dry in the dryer, wear and wash it as much as you can and just let time do the rest
@@emmymoon8718 How is that possible? I want to paint my black bucket hat but want to keep the tommy hillfiger logo as it is. So you say it will stay white anyway?
It's not cool that y'all don't reply to comments anywhere. I am trying to dye 100% cotton sheets from medium gray to jet black. I obviously don't have a pot big enough for sheets so I have to use the machine machine method. I tried using 1 bottle of the "black all purpose dye" and it came out dark gray with hints of purple and very splotchy/uneven. My stupid washer automatically drains itself so it drained half of the dye bath before I was unable to unplug it to get it to stop draining. Then I did a normal wash cycle (just water), a cycle with the fixative, and finally a cycle with detergent. Now I am trying it again. I unplugged the washer first so it wouldn't drain. I am using 2 bottles of "jet black" from the back to black kit AND 1 bottle of yellow to counteract the purple. I am doubling or tripling the bath time to at least an hour - manually stirring with a broom pole every 10 minutes. Unfortunately, once I plug the machine back in, it will drain itself so I am going to have to go straight from dyeing to using the fixative. I am hoping that locks in more of the black. Since Rit doesn't respond and doesn't provide instructions for using a washing machine AND better clarity on using the fixative, I will report back in a few hours when I finish. I will also post on TikTok later today so other users can learn from my mistakes!
That can happen if the fabric has more than 40% synthetic fibers (as this dye is for fabrics with less than 40% synthetics) or if hot water is not used.
If you do the shirt with stuff on it, doesn’t it tint or discolor the art design on the shirt😬 because honestly I don’t wanna ruin more of my barenaked lady’s shit even more. (I just have a little paint on it)
