RitBack to Black Dye Kit, 5.88 x 5 x 2.38

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.

Works great, easy to use, color stayed for about 4 months of heavy sun exposure and regular machine washes so in normal conditions this stuff probably last years. Dyed a nike hat and it kept the logo white some how so this stuff is the truth

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.

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!

it works really good but if your trying to get bleach out of black clothes it won’t work:(

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.

This dye is fantastic. I had an old pair of canvas slip-on that I loved but the manufacturer has stopped making them. It was getting old and faded. I bought this dye and the shoes turned out fantastic. I didn't heat the water to below boiling, as instructed, because I was worried that the fabric would shrink too much and the shoes wouldn't for me. It was heated to @125°F. The fabric did shrink a bit, so I had to use a shoes stretcher to stretch them back out. I would reduce the heat a bit more next time.
