WASHING MACHINE
Use this technique for maximum convenience and especially for large items.
Fill machine with enough hot water for fabric to move freely. Refer to the chart below for the right amount of dye to add. Pre-dissolve powder in 2 cups of hot water. Add pre-dissolved powder or liquid to hot dye bath. |
| Wet fabric in hot water. Uncrumple and add to dye bath. |
| Set machine for extended wash cycle. Fabric should be in dye bath for at least 30 minutes before rinse begins. (You can reset your washing machine before the rinse cycle begins for extended wash cycle.) |
| Rinse in cold water until water runs clear. Wash deep shades in warm water with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly in cool water. |
| Dry item in dryer or hang to dry. |
Clean washing machine using highest water level with hot water, detergent and 1 cup chlorine bleach using complete wash cycle. Clean lint traps. Plastic or rubber machine parts may be tinted but will not stain laundry.

 |
| Wet fabric in hot water. Uncrumple and add to dye bath. |

Liquid Dye: Colours Mixing Chart
With RIT Dye, the color possibilities are endless! It's easy to create just the color you want by combining several RIT colors. Scroll down to see "color recipes" for some of our most requested colors.
Each color recipe below is formulated for 1 pound (dry weight) white or near white, 100% cotton fabric using 3 gallons (or the low-level water setting on your washing machine) hot water.
Just combine the colors as listed in the recipe (pre-dissolve RIT Powder Dye in 2 cups hot water, stirring until dissolved or shake RIT Liquid Dye well), stir into the dyebath, then follow the tinting or dyeing instructions as listed on the RIT dye package or bottle.
Reminder: It's a good idea to test the color on a scrap of fabric before dyeing the entire piece. |
