Review: Still works Great - I 've used RIT DYE since I was a kid, for about a hundred years. It does work well and the colors hold if used as instructed (being a guy, I don't remember if I have ever completely read the instructions, but it's pretty simple minded). The color may not last as long as the original, but it's feasible to repeat in a reasonable period. And it will dye anything within a 15 foot radius if not performed in a controlled procedure. I find outdoors is a safer area. I start with clearing a 15 radius of anything I cant afford to replace or have cleaned or reDye to its original color, or if it will involve a Vet. I wear clothing of similar or insignificant color. Being a veteran Pro, I've eliminated the goggles, gloves, respirator, knee pads and steel toe boots. What makes it easy and way less messy, I use one of those notorious 'fire bomb' outside deep-fry Turkey Fryers and a 5 gallon plastic bucket to rinse and set the color. I bring about 4 gallons of water almost to a boil, then lower my Pants into the water, let the temp rise while I mix the Dye-Salt solution. I use a wooden hoe handle to mix and lift out the hot/wet pants - into a 5 gallon bucket with the turkey basket in it. This leaves about 3 gallons of water that I then add the solution and mix a bit. While the pants are still pretty hot and excess water dripped off, I carefully lift and lower them into the Dye mix. Then it's a matter of poking and swishing them carefully around to pick up the Dye in every part. About the time your arms give out, they should be done. Turn off the burner, let it simmer. I add a few gallons of warm water to the 5 gallon plastic bucket (remove the turkey basket). Then lift, let them drip off excess before lowering them into the warm clean water. After lightly moving them around to lower the temperature, I use a water hose to add another gallon. Then pour out the water and submerge them in cold tap water. Hang them up to dry. Wash them with other jeans, then into the dryer. works for me....... and no animals were harmed during the process. And a new matching hoe handle bonus. (sorry if any sarcasm may have offended you, but it was directed toward those unfortunately stuck on Easter Egg dyeing)
Review: Worked Great - I have a chambray apron that I absolutely love. It has become faded over the years and is looking worse for wear. I have looked high and low to find a replacement but I just keep coming back to my tried and true apron. I decided that I may be able to get a few more years of service if I could dye over the faded areas. I used the stovetop method and cooked it with the dye, salt and water (as the apron is cotton). After the stove top cooking time, I rinsed the apron until the water ran clean and then placed it in the washing machine with a few old towels. It came out amazing. The color is now a darker denim color, but the color is uniform. It looks great. I have been using it for over a month now and there has been no color transfer. I washed it and it still looks great with no fading or bleeding.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it permenant dye**
A: Yes it is permanent Dye. Don't for get to add salt or white vinegar depending on the type of fabric you are putting it on. When you just add the powder to the water it will wash off. I did that the first time. I didnt know what type of material it was so I added salt and it still came off. Then I added vinager to it and the dye stayed on.

**Q: Will this dye evenly on a hoodie that has bleach spots ?**
A: Depends on what color the hoodie is, what kind of fabric it is made from, and what color you are trying to dye it.  I dyed a cotton jumpsuit that I got bleach spot on and it came out great, but the jumpsuit was a light olive green and I dyed it a darker olive green. 
You can mix dye and water to a more concentrated mix and spot treat the bleach spots, using a sponge or brush, then after it is dry dye the entire hoodie to even out the color.

**Q: Is powder dye better than liquid dye or vice versa?**
A: I can't tell you which dye is better, because I have not tried liquid dye. However, I can say that this particular powder dye worked GREAT on my bathroom rugs. I revived them several months ago and they still look vibrant. It is a vibrant red.

**Q: I have to dye my daughter's school shirts navy blue. Will this work and can it be put in washing machine?**
A: Yes this product works great and can be put in the washing machine. Just get the navy blue dye and I also suggest using the color stay that Rit also sells
