Love how you showed us what happens to different clothes after doing it! So helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
This technique worked perfectly for my situation. Literally 10+ years ago, a prized white concert shirt got accidentally mixed in with a load of colors and came out pretty damn pink. Not neon but bright pink. I was sure it was essentially ruined but finally found out about the Rit color remover. Followed the above advice and the shirt is bright white again! Thanks so much!
It's important to remember that this dye remover will not remove indigo dye. If you have yarn or fabric that includes indigo even as just one component of the color (such as green or purple), the dye remover take out everything but the indigo and you'll probably end up with blue. I crocheted a top using size 3 cotton in a mossy green, then decided I didn't like the color. So, I used the dye remover and was surprised to end up with a light blue top. Love it, but didn't expect it!
This is an important note! Color remover will not work on jeans (or anything else with indigo dye) That is not to say that all blue garments will not work, just the ones with indigo dye.
Does it remove black?
Will it remove indigo dye from white cotton fabric?
never thought i would end up here while working on a custom.
you and me both boss. but we gotta do it right
whatd you make and howd it come out?
Can I use it for sheer curtains
same
Here before working on a custom car 😂😂💯
A very good, surprisingly honest presentation. Excellent, thank you.
Very informative and exactly what I was looking for! Thank you :)
Happy to help!
Informative! I recently worked at this using bleach 😬 And the bleach removed a lot of color but then I poured lemon juice and peroxide....And then I saw the lightI mean white!!! Finally I saw white! Lemon juice and peroxide really does the final touch!
I use peroxide to get stains out of fabric.
When you say you finalized using this method what is your ratio and how did you apply it?
This is perfect - exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video. It helped me learn how to use this product and what the possible results may be! :)
I am so glad we could help!
The unsuccessful shirt was a printed fabric, the printing is basically paint not dye. Therefore you can't remove it this way. The trim was dyed which is why it worked on that.
That bright yellow is actually pretty exciting. You could make jeans look more like fancy trousers
thank you for showing that you might have to do it twice, like with the jeans!
Thank you, I plan on using this method for a cosplay later this year
Amazing product I wishe find it in my country thank you so much....

I came here after I bought a plain tan-colored shirt. It's way too close to my skin color and now I want to lighten it to a cream/white, bc I regret not buying it in white now hahaha.
Thanks so much for the demo on how to use it! I'm so glad that Rit Color remover is cheap :)
My shirt is 95% cotton so I think it should dye pretty good? Also, I'm just nervous if the thread seams will stay the original tan color. But I guess it's better than looking topless haha
Good luck! You can always remove the color, and then re dye if you don't like the color after the remover.
How did it go?
@@gaheekim4397 it worked great!! :)
@@AikoSilver How bright of a white did it turn? I have a light salmon hoodie that I'd rather a more cool tone colour
@@gaheekim4397 it turned into a bright white!! Like white was the original fabric color used
Thanks! Did you use just one packet for all the pieces or one per piece?
Great video strait you the point & very informative! Thanks! 😃
I tried two rounds to remove dye from a muave 100% cotton sweatshirt (it became a pale yellow), a black 100% cotton crochet top (it came out light tan), same top in olive green (turned soft teal) and a 100% cotton maroon turtleneck (it became a warm yellowy tan)...we shall see how the re-dyeing process goes...
How did it go?
So basically, I’m trying to fade a lycra spandex from a purple to a nice lilac. Should I boil it? Or try it in a hot water tub first?
Hello! While I do not want to remove color completely from a piece of clothing that I have, I want to lighten the color! Would that be possible with this method?? The grey color is a bit darker than I would like and I'm using this for a cosplay, thank you in advance! :)
We are doing the same thing for a maka cos but the yellow vest i have is way too yellow. Fingers crossed
Brilliant idea! Why the heck was I going to bleach things??
You were mega informative! And I loved your tone. I’m going to try this out in some black jeans 🤔
Good luck!
Would it work on polyester? I just ordered a dress for my engagement shoot and the ivory is sooo much more nude than I thought and I want to get it to white 🥺 please help!
nice to know. Thank you.
Not me watching my own video 4 whole years later after a spontaneous late night crafting project. Hi Greg!!!
I used the color remover on a pair of pj pants for my daughter and it did nothing. LoL. Very much enjoyed your short video
Fascinating!
The reason denim pants do not work well is if you will look at the ingredients in the pants it's usually 60% or less cotton nowadays. The stuff that's the other percent will not work well on die removal or, adding dye.
Yes...I soooo miss the old jeans that were a heavier gauge and all cotton. Sure we had to break them in, but they lasted forever and were soooo soft and fit like a glove once broken in. Now there's poly blends in denim and it's hot and doesn't wear well.
@@pandapeep1148 And in hot climates it can cause rash.
so both pots had rit remover or one had soapy water only?
Is there a way to use this color remover or remove color from a 100% cotton garment (light yellow) without doing it in boiling water?
Thank you for sharing how to remove color without bleach you are truly awesome and wonderful ^^
Thank you! 😊
Can this work on lace fabric? Like magenta pink lace?
Lucky thing I'm only dying a white scarf black. Did not see any color remover in store but scored Its color setter. Is it usually necessary to wash garment alone even after setter?
does it work on polyester?
Thank you for this video keep vloging and keep safe God bless
Hi, do you think I could put very hot water in a spray bottle with this remover and achieve the same results but just in select areas of my shirt?
Interesting.. I think you may have some success.. but I have never tried.. Let me know if you try it out and how it works for you!
What if you’re trying to lighten the upholstery on a chair that is stapled in, so something has to be sprayed on. Trying to lighten it so I can paint it with a lighter color before I look into reupholstering them.
Can I use rit remover on fabric made from goretex?
I dyed a 100% cotton jacket with Rit Dye and now I want to remove it so that’s it’s the original color again. Will this method work? I didn’t use a fixative.
This product will take all of the color out of your jacket, including the original color. You can then go back and re dye the jacket if that's the route you take. Otherwise, RIT is actually semi permanent, so the more the fabric is washed, the faster the dye will fade.
hi will this work in a wool knitted cardigan? i ordered it online thinking it was off white but it turned out to be this unflattering beige orangey color. i wanted to lighten the color
Yes, but wool will likely shrink so I would be cautious when trying to take the color out of your sweater.
Can I pre wash in the washing machine and then wash it with the color remover
Thanks for the video! Do you think I can get an even light color if I use this on a blue cotton shirt? There are a few yellow bleach stains on it which I would like to get rid of, but I’m not sure whether they will lighten the same as the blue color.
Absolutely! This should work really well for your shirt! If it is 100% cotton it is probably going to take out all of the color, so you shouldn't be able to see the bleach stains.
Do you think something like this would work on a phone case? I dyed a seethrough phone case, and I want to re-due it another color.
If i dyed a cotton jumper with all sorts of colours and the original colour of the jumper was yellow, will the dye remover remove the colour dyes that has been added on the jumper but leave the original yellow colour, or will the original yellow colour be removed to?
I want to do this on a tan suit coat and make it white.. would that work? Or ruin it?
Is this safe to use with kids in the house
I have a yellow and white striped shirt that is way too vibrant. Can I use this to tone down the yellow without completely removing the stripe?
i bought a shirt which is black and white in color but the white part got stained, now how can i revive the white color without damaging the black part of the same synthetic shirt?
I would recommend this product - www.onlinefabricstore.com/rit-fabric-whitener-and-brightener-liquid-.htm
Will this work against blue ink stains from a pen?
I want to turn my blue shirt into white will it work ??
Hi, I dye my pants in indigo, can I use color remover to remove the indigo dye?
Can I use this to get colour of out an item that was dyed in the wash? I don't want the item to go white, just that the black shade is removed...
Hi!!! How many rit did you use for all of those? How many shirts can 1 rit remover can cover?
I would say that the general rule of thumb is going to be one packet to every 2lbs of material.
Are these pots safe for cooking afterwards?
Yes! You should wash it out thoroughly after use, but it is non toxic, so you can cook in them after.
I have a jean jacket Dark blue and dark blue jeans that I want to lighten or die white Would this work I'm confused as to what the indigo color is on jeans is it regular blue jean or is it a purple shadethank you
Hi I want to do this to make a black hoodie with that distressed look, how do I manage that?
Worked great! thanks
You're welcome!
my new off white colored jeans got dyed a light grey because my mom decided to throw in a black shirt into my load 😐 my jeans are 100% cotton so do you think they’ll turn back to their original color?
What if I don’t want to remove the colour completely? I just want to lighten it. The shade is a bit to deep
I’m trying to do the same thing using Clorox. So Clorox isn’t Clorox anymore! I didn’t get the memo! I see that the market pushed them to change but I wish I’d stockpiled a half-dozen bottles of the old-style product while I could.
what is different? I really would like to know ... I have noticed that bleaches aren't as strong any more have to use a lot more.@@sharonmaiorana4908
would this affect my sweater? it’s 90% acrylic / 10% viscose i wanna know before purchasing, it’s a grey cardigan and i would like to make it off white
Is it possible to cover up stains on white clothes using dye?
Will this work with spandex?
I would lke to remove/lessen on my dyed robe. But there are existing colored patches that I dont want to be affected by the rit remover. Is there a way I can do this?
Can I do this to blue jeans if I want to dye them a different color?
This product is not recommended for blue jeans. That's not to say you can't give it a try, but the pants will probably not come out white. Ours were a really light blue/grey and they came out very yellow the first time, the second time was closer to white but I don't know if it would be able to get the color out of straight blue jeans.
Prob cheaper to buy new ones, because it would take so many processes.
What about wool-cotton blend blue sweater? What temperature of the water should I use to not make it shrunk?
I probably would not use this on wool. Any amount of heat will shrink your sweater, and this needs quite a lot of it.
Hi! Do you think this would work on outdoor fabric? Our blue patio cushion covers are so faded from the sun that I just want to turn them white. Not sure if my cushion covers are cotton or cotton blend.
Where did you get the rot color remover I can only find fit color remover laundry
You can find it here - www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm
does this work on leather?
Any chance this would work on bluing on polyester? I ordered multiple pairs of white polyester pants. Some looked snow white which was preferred, but others looked bluish white. One pair had three red dye spots, one the size of a fingernail, which stand out badly. I followed advice to bleach and boil in hopes the bluing would fade. After thoroughly rinsing, I also tried soaking in ammonia. Nothing has worked. The three red spots haven't budged and the bluing didn't even fade. I don't know what else to do. I need these and can't reorder because they are now out of stock.
It could work, depending on what type of dye stained your pants. We also have a white brightener, here's the link to that product - www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-fabric-whitener-and-brightener-liquid-.htm
Does this work on furniture?
I have a blue navy suit both coat and pants I want to dye white does this method work what should I use ?
You would need to have a little more information. What material is the suit made out of?
Would this work on shag fur?
Does it work on procion dye?
If I used this on a sweater with a print logo, I’m guessing the logo would stay in tact?
Yes
Yes!
Phew!
I'm trying to get some blue stains from a nude bra that is mainly nylon, do you think it'll turn the bra an odd color?
That's a possibility. You could use color remover and then try dying the bra nude again... Just a thought. Hope that helps!
hi can i use this with my white shirt that has this yellow bleach stains (i think from zonrox) i would like to rescue it and turn it into white again 😅
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that.. You can try, but unfortunately that yellow bleach staining is actually damage to the fibers of your fabric and you may not be able to get rid of it. I suppose it would be worth a shot though! However, if the whole shirt is white, you might be better off with RIT whitener and brightener (www.onlinefabricstore.com/rit-fabric-whitener-and-brightener-liquid-.htm)
Hi, OFS, what size quart stovepots are those in the video?
I believe one is a 12 and the other is a 16... I could be mistaken.. but they are very large. I just got them from the kitchen. This product in non toxic and super easy to clean so you can use your regular cooking pots without having to worry about it contaminating food you cook in it after it is washed.
Hi! I have baby blue queen sheets that I want to have color removed before I dye them. With so much fabric, can I use this in a front load washer with hot water? Thanks for your informative video!
Yes, you can! You might have to do it more than once as the sheets can get bunched up sometimes but should work. Good luck!
i think this amount is only for 1 pound of fabric so you may have to use more than one box or do it a second time with fresh liquid.@@onlinefabricstore
How do I do this if the fabric says it's 47% polyester cotton blend?
It may or may not work. The shirt with the green and print was a blend and it did not work, but it really depends on a lot of factors, so it could be worth the shot.
Very good video - thanks so much!
Hi will I need to use a new color remover packet for each garment? Did you need to add a new color remover packet for each garment?
I would use a new packet, and new water for every 2 lbs of fabric. You will find that as color is coming out of clothes, it is actually leeching out into the water, so I would try to use fresh water as often as possible, especially if the clothes are different colors.
I have a 100% cotton shower curtain that is “ivory” and presumably dyed, but I’m unsure…should I use color remover before dying taupe?
It wouldn't hurt to use the Rit Color Remover just to prepare the fabric, but it should also work fine to just dye over it with the taupe. The taupe color won't be affected by the underlying ivory color.
I’m trying this product on ivory clothing since it turned green. Should it go back to the same ivory color?
No, it will turn white. Then you would have to dye it ivory with something like this - www.onlinefabricstore.com/rit-dyemore-liquid-synthetic-fiber-dye-sand-stone-.htm
Hello! Would my gray cotton sweater be safe with this? I got some red dye stains on it thanks to something red in my laundry, but I'm worried it will also ruin the gray of the cotton sweater. There is also a print on the front, and so I'm wondering if the remover will also affect that also.
Hi Alice! This product would absolutely remove the gray. As far as the print, it depends on what that actually is, it could not affect it, but if the print is just dyed on it will likely remove that as well. If it in vinyl, it would probably be fine.
@@onlinefabricstore Thanks for your input! The sweater is actually 50% cotton and 50% polyester. Will those materials together still remove the gray if it's not 100% cotton?
@@braveheartalice Honestly, it's hard to say... It may, but in my experience, it would more likely leave you with a muddy color..
Would this work on a lace bralette? I have one that is like a light pastel orange and white tye dye and I just want it completely white
It depends on what material your garment is made out of. I would check the tags. Color remover works on cotton, linen, silk, wool, ramie, rayon and nylon.
Hi. I have dark yellow pillow cushion covers that i want to be light yellow. Can I use this product to lighten fabric color but not remove it? Thanks
You would have to completely remove the color and then re-dye it.
Would this work if you just wanted to achieve a fade to black garments. Giving it a vintage appearance?
No, this will fully take the color out. We do sell fast fade powder, you can find it here - www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-fast-fade-powder-1-lb-.htm
if i already partially bleached a garment, will this turn it all into one solid white, or will it have discolored spots?
It is worth a shot, but unfortunately bleach does damage the fibers in your fabric so it is worth a shot! So the results may not be consistent, but it is absolutely worth a shot!
Hi me again, wanted to ask, will this remove the color yellow? Material is a spandex
Unfortunately, it probably will not work on spandex.. It is always worth a shot, but color remover does not usually work on spandex.
Where I can buy that product here in Hong Kong pls?
Gonna try this out. I recently dyed 3 outfits entirely pink to go see Barbie in so now I’m stuck with an entirely bubblegum pink outfit. We’ll see.
I kinda want to try removing the colors from an outfit worth of clothes and then dye them all the same color. Not bubblegum for me, either lol. But I want outfits that are more color matched (I know dye can take differently to different fabrics, so I’m not expecting uniform.)
Did you try the color remover? Did you dye your stuff again after that?
@@brittybee6615 I ended up giving the clothes away
can we use this on tweed fabric?
I am looking to remove the colour from a black linen dress and dye it red afterwards. Do you think this will work? I live in the UK and think our main brand here is Dylon dyes...
I do this this would work!
if not, I have seen a beautiful color called black rose, its blackish but you can see the rose underlying .. I love it because I love rose, pink, mauve, etc.
Is it safe to still use the pit for cooking after using the rit color remover?
u r never supposed to use dye or dye chemical pots ever again for food is what all the dyers say on you tube!
Hello! I am in the planning stages of a project where the end product has a long hanfu that fades to grey on the sleeves and skirt. I am inexperienced with dye so I’m not sure if it’d be best to get light material and dye everything to black, achieving the grey parts with the ombre dip dye method, or if getting black material and fading the sleeves and lower portion with the color remover would be feasible/easier. What would you suggest? (I have not decided on what fabric to use yet since I realized dying would be a factor.)
I would probably get a lighter colored material and dip dye the sleeves and skirt portion. It's going to be easier than you think. You got this. Here is our ombre tutorial to get you started - ruclips.net/video/9PpIkXBpgMo/видео.html
Hi, I have this black striped sweater. I love the off-shoulder look it has but the black is too dark compared to the wardrobe I want to work towards. I know from other responses this works on nylon and rayon, which is partly what my sweater is made of, but what about silk?
nevermind, I saw a reply saying it works on silk
@@cosmicandy4620 You got this!
works on silk!
will this work on shoe laces
would this work on carhartt detriot jacker. workwear jacket
I have a slight yellow bleach stain on my white polo cotton shirt. Do you think that I can get it off using this Rit Dye Whitener? Thanks 🙏
You could try! It does not always work, but I would say that you have a good shot at it since the fabric is cotton.
rit also has a bleach lightener brightener for whites that might work at least to diminish it.
I have a maroon and white striped bathing suit I want to dye a light teal color . The material is 85% nylon and 15% spandex . Will this work for me? So that I can dye it the teal color or would dying it without removing the color work? I figured since it has a lot of maroon in it that I should try and lighten it before I dye it. Any tips?
It is worth a shot! I would probably recommend trying to remove the color because you will end up with purple/red stripes if not
@@onlinefabricstore thank you!
