RitDyeMore Liquid Dye, Midnight Navy

Works great !

I've had to dye a few synthetic fabrics and this does the trick-- keep in mind that this is stovetop dying and you have to be careful to follow the instructions to the letter. I set up a large stock pot (I bought it ONLY for dying fabric) and I use a veggie steamer basket I bought for dying to help prevent the fabric from touching the bottom where the stove heats the pot. I usually double dye quantity and it works like a charm. Easy to use, good value, and the colors are great-- this helps me color correct 'navy blue' items that are a bit on the green/aqua side and get them closer to a true navy blue. Love it! Get HEAVY DUTY DISH GLOVES! You won't regret it for stain prevention and heat resistance.

Dye works well it just didn't dye evenly

I wanted the fit and fabric of regular hospital scrubs but in navy. Scrubs were 45%polyester55%cotton. I used my outdoor camp stove for 30 minutes simmering. I used a teaspoon Dawn detegent at the beginning, then Rite Color Stay at the end. Rinsed in progressively warm to cool water then machine washed in cold. The wash water want even visible blue. I am very satisfied with how they turned out and have received compliments on the look. Might experiment with other colors in the future.

Great product for the price. Follow the directions exactly as specified (have reading glasses handy, the print is teeny tiny for some of us)! Hot water and constant stirring/swishing/moving (the fabric you're dying) is key to consistent coloring of whatever you're dying. Another tip, wear gloves, old pants and a shirt, and put something on the floor under your bucket! This dye is STRONG and will quickly stain your floor, clothes, skin etc. I also recommend wearing a mask of some kind, try not to breathe in the steamy fumes (the smell isn't strong, but breathing it in can't be good for you). This blue wasn't as dark as I'd hoped it would be, next time I might mix in some black dye. Photos are of a cotton linen jumper that was ivory with beige stripes. Happy dying, be safe!

The bottle was not wrapped up at all inside the mailing envelope and the lid had opened in transit causing the dye to spill and a mess. :(I’ve used this dye before and it is a great product. Needs to be packaged better though.

I had 4 dark navy blue uniform pants that were mostly plastic, rayon, nylon poly what ever. they had turned purple and cost $80 each to replace. This product saved me a ton of money. But it was a pain to use. I have a turkey deep fryer. and got a 8 gallon stainless steel pot. I set the water to 200 degrees and added 2 bottles of dye and a tablespoon of of dawn. I did 2 matches of 2 pair of pants. the second batch i added more dawn and 1 more bottle of dye. all 4 pair came out perfect, dark navy blue again. it took 4 hours to complete the entire process but it was well worth it. I bet i get 2 more years of service from my old pants that now look new.

Very hard to use indoors w/o splashing dye all over, need a metal pot, almost boiling for about an hour, constantly stirring, rinsed, washed, dried all for nil.Could only fit one pair of scrub pants in the pitOne pair of scrub pants absorbed all the “Navy” color and the next pair were purple.The one pair I did as directed and the color came out in the washer and it was a light blue vs navyWould not recommend using for nylon WHITE scrub uniform to dye it a NAVY color.I ended up just buying more scrubs and my dyed ones will go to goodwillGood luck!
