FAQs
Can I use this on polyester?
Rit Powder Dye is formulated for natural fibers and will not dye 100% synthetic fabrics like polyester effectively.
How much water do I need for one package?
Generally, one 1 1/8oz package is enough for about one pound of dry fabric, usually mixed into three gallons of water.
Is it safe to wash my dyed items with other clothes?
For the first few washes, it is highly recommended to wash your dyed items separately in cold water to prevent color bleeding.
Does the dye expire?
If kept in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging, the powder dye remains effective for a long period.
Can I use this in a washing machine?
While this dye is often used in a sink or bucket, it can be used in a washing machine for larger loads, provided you clean the machine thoroughly afterward.
Troubleshooting
Color is too light after dyeing
The fabric may contain too many synthetic fibers, or the dyebath was not hot enough during the process.
Uneven dyeing or streaks
Ensure the fabric is constantly stirred during the dyeing process and is not bunched up tightly in the container.
Dye stained non-porous surfaces
Use a household cleaner with bleach or a dedicated stain remover immediately to lift the pigment from surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you are working in a protected area to prevent accidental staining of surfaces. Dissolve the powder completely in two cups of hot water before adding it to a larger dyebath. For compatibility, ensure your item is at least 60% cotton, rayon, or linen; blends containing synthetic fibers may produce a lighter shade. After dyeing, rinse the garment in cold water until it runs clear, then wash with a mild detergent. Always clean your workspace immediately after use using a bleach-based cleaner if any powder residue remains.
