Question 1

polyester-cotton hoodie with 2-3 inch bleach spots, will this look even after dyeing?

Accepted Answer

No, Rit Dye cannot even out bleach spots. Dye is translucent and covers the fabric evenly, so the whole garment will take dye essentially equally. This means that lighter spots will remain lighter, and darker spots will continue to be darker.

Additionally, bleach has a tendency to damage fibers in such a way that they will not take the dye at all, or they will take it in strange ways, resulting in off colors.

Question 2

I want to dye a very red polyester plush robe to a burgundy color.  Would this work?

Accepted Answer

It might make it darker, but I doubt it. I dyed a white polyester petticoat and it turned a medium to light grey. Using a purple or navy might work better.

Question 3

I followed the instructions but I got patchy spots:( how can I get rid of it? I tried o soak it overnight in vinegar and salt solution but nothing

Accepted Answer

We are sorry to hear you got some patchy results. This is often due to a small dyebath where fabric can't move about freely to collect the dye evenly. Vinegar or salt, depending on the specific fabric is used during the dyeing process for more even dyeing but will not help after the fact. To get help troubleshooting your project, the Rit Care Team would be happy to help you. You can reach out to them with photos of your project via the Rit website at: www.RitDye.com

Question 4

Can I put it in a cloth and rub it on my brown wool cotton felt blend cowboy hat that is slightly faded? Thank you for your time and help.

Accepted Answer

I'm assuming you are going to dye a cloth to use it to rub on your hat. I have never  done anything like that before at all, but if i was going to do that, I would make sure the cloth has plenty of the dye in it. In other words after the cloth has gotten enough dye in it, do not let it wring in the washer. I would take the cloth out while it is still very wet and just wring some of the excess water/dye out of it and leave enough in there to rub your cowboy hat so as to cover up the faded part.  you may have to dip the cloth back in the dye more than once to have enough of the dye on the cloth to do the job. Good luck with this and I hope it works well for you.
