RitDyeMore Liquid Dye, Midnight Navy

Used with Rit Colorstay on a 56% cotton 44% polyester fleece heathered grey sweatshirt for a Warden costume. You can see the base color which I left clear on the upper arms.It took really well! Especially considering I did it in a last-minute panic and hadn't realized it would need boiling in a pot that isn't going to be used for food afterward. I put it in a glass pickle jar nestled in my spaghetti pot with a bunch of rags to cushion it and simmered for about half the time it wanted before the jar cracked, very luckily not catastrophically. So the rest of the dye time it hung out in a compromised glass jar below temp and I would absolutely suggest to NOT do that and go to the thrift store for a sacrificial pot instead. :) Regardless of my deviation from the rules, it left a nice muted deep blue-grey. No transfer to other laundry and the color has only mellowed slightly after many washes since.

Worked goodCovered up bleach stains on my new skort.Its now navy blue thoughLol

It's fine but I just need to leave it in for about an hour to an hour and half next time

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.

It will died your synthetic fabrics and anything else synthetic. I purchase normally really expensive hiking pants that were horrible cream color that clearly no one wanted for super cheap and dyes them blue with this product and it worked great. You will need a BIG pot and a way to heat it outdoors. PLEASE DON’T do it in the kitchen. Be careful not to burn yourself. Have a large pair of metal tongs. Like the ones they make for grilling. You have to keep stirring for an even color.

Attempted to dye a favorite brand of pant into a uniform-appropriate color (brand does not offer the required color). First attempt produced grey instead of navy. I bought a second bottle and repeated the treatment. Result after second treatment was a darker grey. Nowhere near the advertised “midnight navy”. Package instructions were followed to the letter on both attempts. Only cooked for about 30 minutes the first attempt- package says at least 30, up to 60. So I considered that the first attempt may have just not soaked long enough. Second attempt went the full hour with still disappointing results

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 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.
