- This is how you dye a piece of clothing, or a cotton hat in this case.
1st) wash your garment. Then get some gloves on and we’ll get to work!
2nd) 3 gallons of hot hot water (140 degrees F is what we’re aiming for) and add your dye. Rit recommends using the ‘paper towel test’ to ensure that the color is what you were aiming for. To do this dip a piece of paper towel into your dyed water and check the color.
3rd) add 1 tsp of dish soap, NOT LAUNDRY DETERGENT, and 1 cup of salt. Both of these will help ensure the dye provides a move uniform coating. Mix thoroughly and now its time to DYE!!!
Throw in your garment and make sure they are mixed often. AFter about an hour you should be complete.
4th) Rinse until the water runs clear, I recommend washing after, otherwise that dye will be loose which can be a problem.

“And now it’s time to DYE!” 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Sounded like the joker
Great😅
There's always a NPC who points out the joke
it is important to wet the piece before dying it, especially if the piece is big, use just water. Since it is already soaked, the dye will enter more easily and evenly :) enjoy
Thank you ! 🧡
Yeah. Noticed too that they missed this part.
Thank you!!!

“Since it is already soaked, the dye will enter more easily and evenly” makes no sense…
Nice, I have a faded navy-blue cap and have actually been thinking about doing this! Thank you!
I wear all black just so I can redye my clothes.
I just do it in my washing machine.
Hot water. Salt. Dish soap. Soak setting.
Wait for them to be done.
Then rinse and dry.
They look brand new.
Saves me $100’s
Love that idea
I have been dying my black clothes for years.
What type of black dye should be used please let me know?
@@doreensika837 ritz liquid black dye.
@@Crowski thank you
The hat who lived... come to dye... AAAAAAAAVAAADAAKEDAAAABBBBAAA
How do you dye a hat but not the embroidery on it? Say it has something embroidered that has multiple colors or it’s white, would you paint it on with a brush or is there a technique to do??
paint with dye
You can try to protect the embroidery with wax, then paint carefully with the dye the rest and leave it to rest a day or two before rinsing it. You can remove the wax with paper towels and a warm iron
Interesting about the salt and vinegar.
It needed a wash. You can see all the sweat stains. Rit says to wash your clothing first then dye when wet. That’s why your bill looks a murky black/brown.
Also add vinegar to the rinse water ad tumble on high heat or iron to help set the dye so it doesn't bkeed in future. Wash seperately until you are certain that it doesn't.
The thing about dying clothes especially cotton, they can look discolored when dried.
Somehow I dyed my white Sweatshirt black, it rinsed out navy blue, and washed into light grey 😂
You also need colourstay solution after dying, otherwise the dye will just transfer to your skin on wear, or will bleed out with every wash.
thats very useful
My mom accidentally used this instead of RID when I got lice. I looked like Fonzi
And how do you keep the cardboard rim from getting all funky?
Nice!
That brand of dye recommends the water temperature is maintained at 200 degrees or higher during the entire process of the dying.
If you go to an art store for dye, there are brands that don't require near boiling water. Jacquard makes Procion dyes that only need washing soda and warm water to work.
Where can we buy that dye color? I m from Turkmenistan and there is no like that color in our country....
So it takes 2 runs to get a good result?
Can I bring my faded black shirt to a dry cleaner and ask them to do this?
Why didnt the tag dye?
Did you sniff the dye before pouring it in? Cause honestly i would probably do the same.
Why didn't you dye the white label inside the cap ?
How about jeans?
How would you do this if your hat has embroidery you dont want to dye?
What was the detergent name ?
What about polyester ? Should I do salt or vinegar ?
How many services Drycleaners provide?
I have a black faded psycho bunny tee but it has a grey logo will it turn the logo black as well if I dye it black again ?
How do you wash a hat without it getting damaged
Kena campur garam 5 sb bila letak warna
My guy needs a new hat
Is it pretty colorfast? I’m always scared rit will turn my skin black
How did the tag stay white🤔
its polyester which doesn't accept dye the same way
why the dry-side brush?
Would this work for pants that have bleach stains? I have a black pair that got bleached.
Does this work with powdered dye?
… so long as it is no longer a powder when used…
Look like same
Just Go With It reference?
How hot should the water be
Well that's smell is sealed in. No literally
I dye almost everything. I'm a bigger guy who likes wearing items that are fitted so finding things that fit both my body and my unique sense of style are fairly rare. With the dye, I can focus on finding items that fit and have good structure and usually patina dye them into matching my style. There are also a lot of color mixing apps out there now (including one on the RIT Dye website) that let you find the mix of dyes needed to reach any given color you're shooting for.
My veteran dying tip would always be to use the stovetop method unless you're dealing with stuff like wool and other fabrics that can't take the heat. For those, you can substitute time for heat. I usually use a propane gas hot plate with a huge stainless steel pot, an infrared thermometer to check the temps and a large pair of barbecue tongs and vinyl gloves to stay clean.
Do you have to set in the due with a conditioner or something? I dyed a hoodie but every time I'd wash it, the color would bleed off 😢
Rit sells a dye fixative you can use after the dye bath but before washing it. It makes a BIG difference on how long the dye stays put.
Which dye brand do you recommend
And wait... Why are you dying stuff again?
Assuming so you aren't limited by color a item comes in??
@@andyanderson2297not OP but been dying for 18 years, was raised by a master weaver and have worked in garment design as well so well definitely dont know everything have some experience. Rit is easiet to find in US and Canada and I personally have better results with the powder formula but the liquid is okay too. Dylon is my preference, in canada most craft stores with sewing supplies have it and chain fabric stores, I believe in the US Joannes and similar shops have dylon as well. Dylon only comes in powder and is significantly more concentrated so make sure to mix it well but is a lot more vibrant most of the time. For synthetic, wool and silks its best looking into it a bit as what you add will be different. I have never had a good time with iDye silk dyes.
If you ever find the old tins of dylon at a thrift shop BUY THOSE! They are so much better and more concentrated than the new ones in packets, also can be taped shut bery easily if you dont use it all at once.
For natural dyes or more complex options get used to these premade ones first. Also be aware natural dying is genuinely complex chemistry, labour intensive, fun but things like indigo tend tk get WEIRD. If adding acids or bass PH strips test strips are your friend!
PRO TIP!! After you remove your black dyed piece… rinse it with cold water… put it immediately into a another bucket of hot water with RIT COLOR STAY!!!! COLOR STAY will further enhance the richness of the color as it suggests it makes the color stay and attach, let it sit for a minute or so, keep an eye on it, and swap back and forth with the dye color and color stay. I’ve done this on white air forces 1s, as soon as I would remove the shoes from the dye, the color would look good, but after rinsing it the color would fade off, but when using the color stay it would make the color darker.
this is good advice
Is that the same thing as color stabilizer
@@Itstianaslife based on the same I would assume it helps make the color stay and richen up, what brand are you referring to?
Rit sells a dye stabilizer I believe it is… color fast or something. That stuff works amazing and after I dyed my thing and used that the color didn’t bleed onto anything I washed with it.
yep! that stuff is amazing
Great to know, thx for sharing
fixative is super important for black dye. otherwise it fades like crazy after wearing and the next wash. gotta protect those dye molecules!
Is there a way to cover up certain accents you don’t want dyed? Like in this example if I don’t want to dye the Nike logo how can I do that?
The Indians use a wax when they make batik, not sure if that’s what you’re looking for though..
@@Swampgurl777correct, use wax.
someone else said they recommend vaseline on a q tip and add it on the desired area 2 help prevent the dye from going inside the cloth’s pores
@@Swampgurl777 I thought of this as well. You'd need to remove the wax afterwards which can be a pain. (Papertowel & an iron is my go to though)
I'm curious if a liquid fixative like used in watercolour painting would work though?🤔
It just rubs off! Not something I would buy unless I was going to use all of it though. If any trys this let me know how you made out.
Use wax, then you can remove it with paper towels and a warm iron. It takes time, but is doable
I had to dye a jacket for my Halloween costume
My mom did it to be nice. It wasn't coated evenly. It was close to the correct color, but some places looked like it was partially bleached
Everyone thought it was intentional
It is one of my favorite jackets to date
Definitely want to dye something else in the future, so this should help
🤔 the tag still white???
The hat is cotton, but the tag is synthetic silk made from plastic. Dyeing synthetic textiles needs constant hot water, like over a stove. The cotton hat soaks up the dye even without hot water.
You absolutely must wash the item beforehand, otherwise the dye won't evenly distribute over the clothing article. Even if the item is brand new, wash it first. Dying clothing is an art, the tough part is eliminating the potential for dark and light spots. Use very hot water, wear rubber gloves, and keep moving the item for half an hour. It's boring, and you'll want to stop after ten minutes. Don't.
Rit says to use ColorStay Dye Fixative afterwards. You missed that step.
they also missed the fact that the bottle says it has to stay at a temperature above boiling the whole time
@@katherinesanz8289 Boiling water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The instructions say to use water at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. He did miss that as well.
Is there a way to keep nike logo white!?
What if you want the logo to stay white?
How to keep the logo in original colour?
I thought the article of clothing was supposed to be wet before dunking it in 😏 But I’m old so what do I know…
🎉
It is and you can use soda ash to help lock colors in better. If you notice the front of the hat looks black but when he moved it the back looked wet or blue and like it didn’t dye it the same evenly
@@seekeroflight85 I sure did notice, never heard of the soda ash.. just salt 😏
@@Swampgurl777 salt? Interesting. I’ve never heard of that but I’d like to try it. I love to tie dye
What is soda ash?
"Now it's time to DYE" I cracked up
Just realized i could dye all my black work clothing back to a better colour and get more life out of them bc i sweat in them and theyre cheap walmart clothes so the collar and where i wipe my sweat gets faded fast, but im also cheap and theyre fine otherwise i just wont wear em once they get too bad, this may be a solution 🤔
Try treating the sweat stains as an oil stain before dyeing. As there are oils that come from our skin as well and in deodorant that make sweat stick to fabrics even more.
I like to pretreat with ammonia (dissolves grease) and dish soap or dish soap and baking soda seem popular as well.
Get the sweat spots out before you do this, otherwise the dye won't evenly cover the clothing.
Why does it need salt? Like what does the salt do?
Kosher salt ? What makes it kosher?
If it’s polyester it won’t dye , that should have been tip #1 thank me later
Pleeeaasee make video on how to wash baseball caps.. like how u do it and how u suggest doing it at home without professional cleaning agents.. pretty pleaaaaaaasseee.. love from another clean freak in Jakarta
Weight is also important to establish whether the item has enough dye, or if additional small items can be dyed at one operation.
Question?
-Will a printed shirt be affected if i re-dye it the way you do it, like will the printed logo on it slide off cuz of the hot water or will the print be the same color as the dye if i do it your way¿🤔? Im just concerned about the print logo or picture on it like what will happen?
You skipped a few important steps:
1. Only natural fibers can be dyed with regular RIT dye (as shown)
2. If your item is made from man-made material or a blend, make sure to use a dye made specifically for it.
3. Strain your dye before adding it to your water
4. Hot water won’t work as well as near boiling water will .
You’re welcome
Could have went to Ross got a new Nike hat for less than the dye... but 🤷♂️
If you dye something that has a discoloration from a stain, like light wash jeans for example, will dying them a slightly darker color cover of the stain, or will the stain still be there, a new color but just as visible, if that makes sense?
The entire hat got dye.....except for the tag 😂😂😂😂. FAKE!!!!!!!
You can still see where the hat was discolored from sweat… even after it’s been dyed… so what’s the point
Wait will this work if my piece of clothing I’m trying to dye is Black with bleach stains???
I improve my black /navy clothes periodically by pouring a jar of this bottled dye mixed with a bit of hot water and the salt directly into my washing machine drum. Fill washer with hot water, add clothes needing a revamp and run on the longest wash with cold rinses...select extra rinse if available, otherwise when the cycle is done do a Rinse only cycle. Then dry in dryer.
What if you have to hand wash them? Can you just rinse them good? 😅
I didn't know it was so technical. I usually just put the dye in a spray bottle which I spray directly onto my hat.
This is also a good psa to wear your sunscreen, if the sun is literally bleaching the dye from your hat, maybe give it some respect
Just buy a new hat
“First wash it and make sure it’s clean first” maybe should take your advice lol
Are you sure you have to use 3 gallons to die just one hat couldn’t you just cover the hat with enough water it will do exactly the same thing I promise
When I was in 10th grade I tried to dye all my jeans different colors so I bleached them first and I accidentally left them in the bleach too long and they disintegrated and I melted all my pants and had to make my dad take me to target that night to get more pants.
So it’s exactly like Minecraft you put water and the dye color into a bucket and put the clothing in it
I have a question if anyone can answer, how do they dye a same cloth with different colors according to the pattern?
So I got a shit with rubber print, and one with leather stitched on. Would it dye the rubber and leather as well?
Black rit dye turns things a purple grey 🤦🏼♀️
This is helpful. Kinda can't believe I haven't seen one of these videos yet. Thanks!!
Knp tdk dijual bahannya di Alfamart
What about polyester? Do I still need to use salt and dish soap?????
Buy a new one. The cost of all these products will be higher.
الي فهم يترجمنا يالعربية
need to use Rit Fixative immediately after dye
The boy who lived... come to *dye*
But surely the less water the better the colour? That seems a lot of water for a small hat.
How do you dispose of that water? How eco friendly is this?
Hat still looks gross 🤢….. just BUY a new hat ….🧢
How does the tag magically remaain undyed?
Why didn't the label under the hat change its color?
The black always looks purple in the light
Just use the washing machine like a normal person
Not black where it touches your forehead
How did you keep the tag inside the hat from getting dyed
It did not look any different 🤣🤣🤣
Does this work on stitching on jackets?
Where I can purchase this Rit Jet black?
Like liquid vinegar or powder vinegar
the back of the hat is still darker it looks like sweat stains
