WAIT A SECOND.... you can also dye plastic stuff not just clothes????? this is crazy. thanks for the video!!!!! I will try it
my girlfriend is a doll customizer, and is crazy about dyeing her dolls
Lol. I'm in the middle of dyeing a rug.. I want to dip my wheels in after now that I saw this. Lol
I know right! I came here to say that too, mind blown!
The Steps: 1:32
Pre-wash in warm soapy water
Fill a pot with enough water that the item can move freely/submerge
Heat water to just below boiling
Add shook dye to simmering(tiny bubbles) water
Stir
Add 1tsp dish soap
Add damp item at a low simmer
Stir slowly and constantly first 10 mins
Remove and wring out extra dye
Rinse in warm water
Rinse in cool water until clear
Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent
Edit: y'all, it's so easy to do that I dyed a stuffed animal at 2am
whats the point of item being damp? I mean you're gonna submerge it and it'll be wet ya know? genuinely curious lol
@@eeee9748 It helps the fabric to take the dye more evenly and spread all over the fabric, otherwise you'll get your fabric stained and get a somewhat tie dye effect
Why add dish soap?
Did you use a glass pot?
But what to use to bleach synthetic fiber like polyester?
I did it! I dyed my work pants without creases or patchiness 😅🎉🙌🏼 Thank you for the video!
I cannot stress enough to use boiling water. I used hot water in a bucket and it did NOT pierce through the fabric. I was dying a small coat that was already in the same color family. I should have also used 2 bottles instead of one. No cutting corners on synthetics!
How much dye should I use for just one Thin tshirt?
Do I need to use the entire bottle?
How big was your coat? I’ve got a robe but fear it’s too big for my pots🫣
Why is there no black DyeMore??? There is only graphite which is dark grey. We should not have to mix multiple colors to achieve black!!
It's says go on the website to make custom colors
I'm using black. They may just be out where you are
@@maluminse1 I have found no DyeMore in black
I found Dyemore in black at Walmart
@@rebeccamilstone9651 I need to confirm this…it’s not even on the Rit Dye official website, as far as I can tell 🥰
Is the "graphite" dyemore color the equivalent of black? I'm trying to restore a faded black hat and it is made of about 50% synthetic materials.
big question: doesnt the hot water damage the synthatic material (nylon, polyester). I understand it will not work if it is not hot but washing instruction og the material does not allow for more than 30 degrrees. anyone help?
Your material is probably very sensitive, I recommend taking it to your local dry cleaner or tailor, they give the best expert advice
Kindly asking, is Dyemore able to dye the "stitching" on a white t-shirt?? (60/40 cotton polly)
Hello! I'm looking to dye a vintage wedding dress (mix of natural and synthetic fabrics) a deep Ruby color - anything you'd recommend? Thanks!
High heat will destroy elastic type materials like spandex and you can't put it in high heat, and also I saw a video of a lady who did it on some lace and stretch products in the washer and they turned out great, so I would only do this if you don't have any stretchy material in your fabric, otherwise, just test it as in just regular process and see what happens. I have some lace material that is nylon and spandex and didn't realize I was ordering a peach color since I thought it was tan like in the photo....so I'm gonna try dying it and see how it goes, except I can't use high heat cuz of the spandex in it albeit only 10%, it's not wanting to ruin it, so I'm gonna see what can ge done in a lower temp and hopefully it's not a big deal....otherwise I'll just dye it black and hope for the best. I'm not a peachy color person or I just don't think that color looks so good on me. wish me luck.
I followed the directions to a tee and it didn’t stick to my polyester dress AT ALL 🥺
Good tutorial, my experience with JT glide pro jersey, ANS exclusive white dragons. Dyed with whole bottle racing red dyemore- came out light maroon/fuscia (Will see when fully dry) though I knew to get a brighter red add orange (brown, for darkening red) HOWEVER the superdead flex 8 super soft ears clear, ate the color right up and I let them soak maybe 5-10 min still to get a rich deep red. Then I soaked them in ice vinegar bath to help seal supposedly. They arent bleeding at all, either of them.
I have a 70% polyester / 30% cotton fabric formal dress, but it has sequins. Can I dye this without melting the sequins? I'm ok if they dye too, just don't want to melt them.
Hey there! We've dyed sequins before with DyeMore and they didn't melt. Here's an example from our Instagram: instagram.com/reel/CVTriHChVoM/
WHY DO THEY CALL IT ALL PURPOSEBIF ITS NOT ALL PURPOSE I did not do my research and dyed my 100 poly dress w the regular rit….. I’m mad asf 😭
I'm assuming I can also use the synthetic dye for organics? This hoodie i want to dye is mostly synthetic but the actual shell is 100% cotton so I'd like to know if the cotton would hold it
i lost my favorite worn in pair of crocs because someone threw them away, and the color i had is discontinued! im totally going to try this
Did it work?
Dunno but I am dyeing to find out 😂
I have a queen size comforter. 100% polyester. I can remove the agitator in my washing machine. I will turn up my hot water heater for super hot 🔥 water. But how many bottles of dye should I buy?
What happens if you use all purpose dye with a 100% polyester dress? Does it just not work?
70% cotton , 23% polyester, 5% Viscose, 2% Spandex........which dye do i use for this blend? Just want to make sure i'm on the right track 👍🏼 @RitDye
All purpose dye definitely
Helena is the dish soap necessary if your only dyeing plastic?
let's say I want to dye 2 pounds of dry fabrics (8 t-shirts). should be done all at once or four first and after 30 min remove them from the pot and add the other four? I got this doubt after watching that in the video several items are being dyed separately with the same dye.
Dying my club fit a tad bit more red and it came out perfect
I want to dye my microfiber sofa...any tips
Can it also be used to dye viscose? Or do I have to use a different option?
I have a blonde wig that I would like to turn ash brown.. what colors would you recommend as mixing?
Im using this dye for my cotton drill because the colour doesn't exist in all purpose.
I've noticed it dries very light even though I left it in 30min stirring. What am I doing wrong?
Hello, so I've recently bought my dyes I need and my white fur coat just arrived. I need to dye it green. However, I've just read the label and it says dry clean only. The inner lining and outer is all 100% polyester, so now I dont know what to do! I need the jacket for next week so I'm freaking out a little 😅 any tips?
White 100% polyester to pitch black... gonna try this
how did it work out?
@@valeriedoble9380 Came out a light grey instead at the end even with all the steps followed to the letter :/
Will this work on Rayon? I am not finding the answer online. Kind of sketchy. Thank you
How you use the non drip color on the clothes to keep it from bleeding
Generically, one bottle of dye how much water it needs to keep the final color intact, so not lighter or darker?
we recommend half a bottle for 3 gallons of water.
@@ritcolorcommunity thanks so much 🤩
Can i dye a shirt like this that has a screen printed design on it? Will the almost boiling water ruin the print?
Do you all have synethic black? Or how do I get black for polyester?
Does it stain the pot? Or would we still be able to use the pot afterwards for cooking purposes?
was wondering the same thing
Absolutely do NOT use the pot for cooking again
@@GothiccRabbit 🤔
Do you weigh the fabric after you soak it in water or before you soak it in water to see how many pounds it is. Also how many bottles would I need for a wedding dress and how would I dye a wedding dress??.
You would need to weigh it while dry! And for a more detailed answer regarding your wedding dress, our dye specialists are available at info@ritdye.com to help with your dye projects!
i am dying polyester but it has an emblem on it that i think is acrlyric so i will use all purpose one instead because i just need to turn red to purple without chaning the emblem color. So worse case scenerio it will prob come out a slightly plummier red and not fully purple but that is better than ruining the emblem.
What about cordura? Are there special instructions for this durable textile?
If I am dyeing a backpack in HOT water like boiling, how long should I keep the backpack in the dye liquid if I don’t see it dye through, and I have been consistently adding boiling water.
Does this product use disperse dyes😊
will this work on spandex to dye yellow to black?
Great video.
Thanks
I used racing red on 95% polyester 5% spandex but after I washed it turned a red-orange color. Can I repeat the process so the color is a deeper red ?
Yep, you can simply overdye it. Sounds like you might need a higher dyebath temperature.
there was no link for how to do a fixative!! I had to go to Rebecca from Chemkits to find out!
Wait so if you have 100% polyester then you have to use 2 bottles?????
How Much dye should I use for one thin Tshirt? Do I need to use the entire bottle?
Do you have any advice if the dyed item turned out patchy?
Hey there! You can reach out to our dye specialists at info@ritdye.com
Can you throw these in the washing machine after dying?
Is there a way to ombré (multi color)faux fur with this dye?
You can use this method, but simply dip dye a portion of your garment into the stove top instead of submerging the entire piece.
What if the garment is exactly 35% polyester? Is there really a difference between using the dyemore for synthetics or the all purpose rit dye?
I personally would go with the polyester one
I’m wanting to dye my 100% polyester Adidas tracksuit to make the three stripes black, the rest is already black. But it says wash at 30 degrees C. So I’m worried about putting it in water that is just below boiling, can anyone tell me if this will work or will it ruin my clothes?
how many minutes to pre-wash? After I pre-wash and before I dye my fabric, should i rinse out the soapy water with warm non-soapy water? Or, should I just leave the soapy water in the fabric as I put it in the dye bath?
You should rinse out the soapy water, wring it out really good prior to putting it into the dyebath.
@@ritcolorcommunity and how many minutes should I pre-wash the fabric in warm soapy water for?
@@ScoopNemeth Until your entire garment is soaked! Then you can wring out all the excess water.
Does anyone know if this will work on acetate sunglass frames? I have red sunglasses and want to dye them black
For polyester shorts with a colored print logo, will this affect the logo colors?
It might tint it slightly depending on how the logo was applied to the fabric! Here's some helpful information: www.ritdye.com/2020/03/04/overdyeing-patterns/
Can you dye a cup lids?
Can you use dawn dish soap??
Yes
But van a poliéster thy don't shrink ???
what is the best way to do a tie-dye using two different colors?

Can you dye a 100% polyester light green dress to a darker shade of green by using the green dye?
Hey there! You sure can! You can also get a darker green by using a color formula: www.ritdye.com/color-formulas/smoke-pine-needles/?type=203&hue=199&collection=0&collaboration=0
have you tried it? can you please update. i bought an asos dress which looked muted on display but it quite neon irl. i cant return it as ive only opened my package after vacation.
Can I dye outdoor cloth furniture covers with this?
It depends on the fabric. All fabric designed for the outdoors is synthetic, but blends vary, and some fabric will even have coating to make it further water and UV repellent. Some of these materials will be unable to properly dye. If you happen to have fabric blend that will accept dye, it is a possibility. You'll need to check your blend on the tag. Because of the inability to dye a lot of outdoor furniture/pillow fabric, they have alternatives such as outdoor fabric paint. I'd suggest exploring that option if you haven't already concluded you furniture cover project.
will washing machine method work with this type dye ?
NO she said so in the vid
It's a short video watch the whole video and it answers your question. Geez
Please do a video of a BALLGOWN PLEASE!!!! I need to know how much I need 🫣
WHAT IF IT CONTAINS 35%????????
I have a bleach spot the size of a dime on a black 50% cotton/50% polyester tee shirt. Is there a technique to "Spot Dye" this type of item using Rit DyeMore?
Unfortunately, bleach tends to damage the fibers on the fabric making it difficult for the dyes to absorb. You can try Color Remover and over dye it with our DyeMore for Synthetics Graphite to camouflage the bleach spot. Hope this helps!
@@ritcolorcommunity I have used permanent magic marker and markers for fabric to touch up bleach spots, sometimes I sew a patch like a flower or some peace symbol.
What about modal?
All-Purpose works on modal!
It didn't work for a 100% synthetic dress
Sorry to hear that! Our dye experts are available at info@ritdye.com and can help troubleshoot any issues!
I get so annoyed by the way people being video recorded do two camera angles just to make it look like they’re looking at someone off to their right. 🙄
The end of every sentence is croaky vocal fry. It’s so irritating. Can’t you hear yourself?
You don’t have to watch the video, no one’s forcing you to stay. You also don’t have to be rude, but you’re choosing to do both so sounds like your issues are your own fault.
The jawline of your picture disappeared into your ginormous double chin. It's so irritating. Can't you see yourself?
Agreed!
May I ask how long the color may last? Is possible to fade out after washing it?
Hey there! Our colors are meant to last but will fade with time + sun exposure just like store-bought garments--hope this helps.
What should I do if I'm trying to dye a dark grey hoody a bright vibrant colour like teal or pink? Do I need to remove the existing color somehow?
Yes
@@lolll4031 Any ideas how? I used rit color remover, and the dark grey turned into light swamp/baby poo color.
@@giles1358 I wish 😩 I’m experimenting myself. But I recommend getting the rit color remover and if that doesn’t help before completely redoing the dye, maybe prime paint and top coat next?
@@giles1358 but keep doing the remover process!! Until it’s light enough to get covered by the color you want!!
