Rit, All Purpose Liquid Dye, Black, 8 fl oz

I ended up using the whole bottle because I couldn't quite get the deep navy I was wanting (I was dipping paper towels into the water until I found my desired shade). But for stained clothing (with bleach stains and tough water stains) I recommend using the Rit color remover first, and THEN dye. I dyed a pair of shorts with bleach spots, faded cotton pants with bleach and Sharpie marks (I used color remover on these), and I dyed a tan tank top that was a polyester/ cotton blend with weird stains (I didn't use color remover before and I wish I did because it made the stains more visible in the back). I also used the color stay, but beware, it still transfers despite following the directions exactly. I put my drawstring back in my shorts and now they're stained blue. Ah well. Below are the three finished products. The base color of the shorts was a light purple/ grey, the pants were originally navy, but turned a pale green because of the color remover, and the top was tan as previously mentioned—this is just to help you better understand how different your project will turn out when considering fabric type and starting color. Also—you may notice little dark splotches of dye on your clothes. Don't worry, the dye evens out after a couple washes. It also fades slightly despite color stay, so stain a deeper shade than you want because the color will lighten a bit. But I do quite love how cheap and easy to use this dye is. I have many more projects in the future to combat fading and bleach stains.
