Rit Back to Black Dye Kit, 5.88 x 5 x 2.38

I'm giving this five stars because it did what it said it would, make my faded hoodie black again. The hoodie also had a bleach stain that went away. Two complaints; my first box had two bottles of the jet black dye and no fixative. Amazon quickly sent a replacement. Second, I ended up with a "ring" around my sink! So much for stainless steel. I had missed it during my cleanup, so I had to do some vigorous scrubbing to remove it the next day. Rit's website has much more detailed instructions than what comes in the box, and they have a very helpful YouTube video too. If you are dying a heavy garment, like my thick cotton hoodie, expect some splashing. Prep your work area accordingly.

This product was cheap and effective. I had a blue denim jacket that clashed too much with my outfits, so I wanted to dye it black. I bleached the jacket first to make it lighter in color, then went through the dye treatment and color fixative. The dye distributed evenly and is nice and dark. The color fixative made the rinsing process very fast and I am very happy with the results. I used a clean 5 gallon bucket from the hardware store to do the treatment and followed the directions and had great results. Note that the dye will not work on any polyester thread, so the thread on my jacket stayed a different color which I actually really like the look of.

This works very good. I used it to turn some of my jeans black just note that it really can only turn like one pair at a time. However, if you’re turning something that’s black to dark or black it can do multiple pieces of clothing at a time, but if you’re turning like blue jeans into black jeans, I can only do one at a time. I try to do it with three pairs of jeans and the first one turned out perfect but then the second two they were like blotchy black so I just had to buy Another guy to make them completely black, but I also used like the same bucket of water to dye some clothing that had kind of faded, and it went perfectly back to black. Also, I was doing this in my bathroom tub and it did stain in my tub gray in various spots so keep an eye out for that.

Great product! I had 3 Carhartt hoodies that had faded from black to dark gray. All in took about an hour. I used 1 kit for all 3 which probably exceeded the dosage suggested but it still worked fine. Came out nice and dark, so $10 revitalized $150 worth of hoodies. I also did this pretty lazily. It tells you to stir for 30+ minutes. I gave it a quick stir every 5-10 minutes. I DID weigh down the hoodies with another bin and some weight so they stayed submerged. Also, I had concerns that the dye would turn the carhartt patches black, but it did not. They are still brilliant. Would totally purchase again!

This product is seriously one of the best things I have ever gotten. I bought it multiple times now. I am a millenial goth lady, married to a gen x goth lady. I have 2 daughters who also like a mix of bright cheery clothes, and black goth clothes. Basically we have a lot of black clothing, and a lot of it is incredibly faded. I love thrifting as well, and sometimes I end up with cute things in colors I dont wear much. I also love stretchy comfy jean shorts but the softest are always light wash which I begrudgingly wear. Anyways, I decided to try this on some things, because we had an accident where bleach spilled in my laundry room and me and my friend tried to fix it as fast as possible but so much got bleach stained :( anyway I liked this product so much that I bought tons more with 1 day shipping to try on other things, because I got an adhd fixation going on now lol. I was able to dye me and my wifes faded black shirts so they look crisp and dark black, in multiple materials too not just cotton! Even band t shirts etc if they are printed the pattern doesnt dye which is wonderful. Was able to dye some light color band shirts I like but tend to not wear for thr colors, and now I love wearing them. I then dyed many things like tank tops that had colors I didnt like, and did the same for clothes my daughters didnt like the colors. Had a blue and white and navy striped top that is now light grey, charcoal, and black stripes which looks absolutely awesome! I dyed maxi skirts we had, including a white one that was totally see thru which I can now wear. I added vinegar and salt which help with certain materials, and used 2 big stock pots on the stove, and dyed in one, and fixant it with the other. I did not need to stir for 30 to 60 min like it said either, just occasional like soup lol. I also got extra dye because the water evaporates and gets sucked up by clothes, so if u are doing a ton u will have to add water and lots more dye, because towards the end, the dye water will just make it grey, its not as powerful, so keep it new. If anything is too light just dye it again after washing it. Anyways this is awesome, and I am excited to wear my clothes again, its like having a new wardrobe, and I'm so happy, as is my wife. My kids want me to buy more colors soon like purple which we all like, so I'm gonna try that soon too. Wish I tried this in the past to avoid giving away clothing id have still worn! Buy this, and fix up your clothes, you wont regret it!

Easy to use and effective! I read through the instructions and also checked online reviews before using it. I even leave the pants in longer than recommended to ensure full coverage. While I did need to repeat the process twice, it brought my pants back to a rich, dark black—exactly what I was hoping for.I’d definitely repurchase this instead of buying a new pair of pants. Great value and results!

This is a great product. When your favorite black tops and jeans fade, bring them back to life with bold color ! Easy to use ! Very useful product ! Oh and the color stays on your clothing for a long time .

Great product

Why didn't I take photos!? The difference is night & day. You'll have to take my word for it. Baseball cap was faded with stain marks, and jeans were faded and especially worn around the knees. I only used 50% of both bottles... as I read the full bottle would do a lot more than what I intended to dye plus to save for another time down the track when both items need a re-dye. Did the sink method. Had the water hot, salt, detergent, kept adding hot (from the kettle) but not too much as to dilute. left to soak for 90 mins to 120mins. Drained. Then added more hot water (from the tap only) for the stabiliser. Soaked for 40 mins. Drained. Put in the machine for a quick rinse and spin. Came out better than expected especially noticeable when fully dried. Great stuff! Fully recommend.

Just follow the instructions and make sure you set aside the required time.

Se cayo blanqueador en mi vestido negro, pero quedo perfecto con la tinta. Instrucciones faciles de entender.

No funciona segui las instrucciones al pie de la letra, el proceso es muy largo mas de 1hr y no funciono

Worked extremely well, after following instructions exactly. Very happy with the results.
