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

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!

This actually worked better than I expected. If you follow the instructions correctly it will turn the fabric darker for sure. The value for the money is good and was very easy to use. I had a hoody that I loved but it was very faded. I ended up purchasing another exact hoody except they did not have black so I got the gray instead. After using this on both items it turned my gray hoody to black and my faded black hoody is now extra black like when I first purchased it. I have not washed them yet but from the way it looks and feels I don’t see if fading out quickly. I would definitely purchase again and recommend this to anyone trying to darken their fabrics.

The dye actually came with two bottles. One is black dye and the other bottle is wash solution. Direction said half a bottle can dye two lbs of clothing. I tried half a bottle with one jean and it works well but I tried again with the same solution and it didn’t dye dark enough. Value is ok since it only dye 1-3 pieces of cloths if it’s under the weight. Aka the solution takes 15-20mins of constant stirring which took a long time. Overall decent and works well.

The Rit Back to Black Dye Kit is a fantastic product for anyone looking to refresh or completely change the color of their fabrics! I recently used it to restore some old black jeans, and the results were incredible. The dye revived the color perfectly, making them look brand new. The kit comes with everything you need: dye, fixative, and clear instructions. The process was straightforward and easy to follow. The dye spreads evenly, and I was amazed at how vibrant and consistent the color turned out. It even worked well on mixed fabrics, which was a pleasant surprise. What’s also great is that the fixative helps to ensure that the color stays rich and doesn’t fade quickly. The whole process was mess-free and efficient, and I was impressed with how well the color adhered and how durable it is. If you’re looking to breathe new life into old clothes or need a high-quality dye for your project, the Rit Back to Black Dye Kit is definitely worth trying. Highly recommend for anyone wanting professional results at home!

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!

If I knew how much effort dyeing my pants would take, and how much water I would need to use, I may have continued wearing my faded black pants as is. The idea of re-using old clothing is nice, but instead of dyeing, it's more economical and environmentally friendly to let the clothing fade and keep wearing it. I would only recommend using this product on clothing that is irreplaceable. For something like my pants, which are already around 7 years old, I could buy another pair for $50-$100 and keep wearing the faded ones at home or when working outside. Clothing that is faded is often worn in other ways too and may not last much longer after being dyed. I used the bucket method for dying the cotton pants. 60 minute soak in hot water with salt, small squirt of dish soap, plus the full bottle of dye. The instructions say to stir "consistently" so I set a timer to move the pants around in the dye every 10 minutes. Then another 20 minutes in the color fix with more hot water, stirring every 5 minutes. Then hand washed in another bucket with laundry detergent. Lastly, I repeatedly filled and emptied two 5 gallon buckets of water, trying to rinse the pants. The instructions say to rinse until the water begins to be clear. My rinse water was black every time I poured it out. Eventually I got tired of squeezing water out of the pants over and over and put them in my washing machine for one last double rinse. At this point I must have used at least 30 gallons of water, a lot of that being hot water, and still the pants left behind black dye in the washing machine after two rinse cycles. The pants now look very black and like-new. But due to the cost of the product, the cost of heating gallons and gallons of water, the cost of using many more gallons of cold water, and the roughly two hours I spent on this plus all the cleanup time, I don't know if I would do this again.

Permanent black dye kit. I redyed some faded black denim I had 3 pair. This kit did a fabulous job in the dye. They look new again. I would totally recommend the black dye for any faded denim you might have. I might try the dark indigo next this was so good. It is a process but I got all 3 pairs dyed and the same time, set and laundered in about 5 hours. Go for it!

I’m very happy with this Rit Back to Black Dye Kit. It is such a useful product for refreshing clothes that have lost their deep black color over time. Instead of throwing away faded pieces, this kit makes it possible to bring them back to a cleaner, darker, and more polished look. What I like most is how complete and convenient it feels. The kit includes what you need to revive black clothing, and it is a great option for jeans, shirts, dresses, uniforms, or other dark fabrics that need a fresh update. It helps make old clothes look more wearable again, which also feels practical and budget-friendly. Overall, this is a smart product for anyone who wants to restore faded black clothes and make them look newer without spending money on replacements. I’m very pleased with it and would definitely recommend it.

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

Great dye kit. Value for money and it did the job.

Lo usé para pintar mi Tote Bag y quedo como nueva, le dio una segunda vida porque ya estaba muy descolorida. Las letras blancas se hicieron ligeramente grises pero el negro de la bolsa quedo como si fuera nueva. Una vez que se secó no mancha nada de negro. Trae un fijador que hace que no se transfiera la tinta a la piel u otras prendas

This helped restore two of my black sweatpants.

Worn out black jeans, cap and jogger pants with a bleach stain....all back to pitch black. The jean labelling survived and kept its color. It you have plastic printing then it wont survive process as you need hot water. I wonder what other colours then have.
