Nakoma Rit Liquid Dye Apple Green

I used 2 bottles in an 8kg front loader washing machine. I dyed a pale blue king size quilt cover and 2 shirts, one a fade blue and the other a faded green. All are 100% cotton. I used the navy dye with probably more salt than necessary. I put the dye and the salt solution directly into the bottom of the machine to save cleaning the drawer afterwards. I used the longest hottest wash as recommended - 3.5 hours at 60 degrees. All the items have come out a uniform, pleasing colour. The quilt cover and one shirt have come out a good shade of navy and the green one a very dark teal. I followed the instructions for cleaning the machine but only used about half the recommended amount of bleach, (they recommend almost a pint which made me a bit nervous). The old towels I used came out without any marks on so hopefully the washing machine is clean. I haven’t yet washed or used the dyed items but I am very pleased with the initial results.

Great dye, worked well on the fabric I have used it on. Easy to apply, consistent colour across the whole garment.

I tried this black liquid dye, and it’s okay but not perfect. The color comes out dark, but it wasn’t as even as I hoped, and it can be a bit tricky to apply smoothly. For the price, it’s fine if you’re just experimenting or doing small projects, but I wouldn’t rely on it for professional-level results.

It should be 5 stars. It works. My shoes look amazing. The reason I'm not giving five is because there is only one asterisk on the bottom of one of the images that says it won't work on polyester. So maybe thats my fault but honestly I read all the paragraphs below because thats where I assume I'll find all the information I need. So the nylon top layer of my dress is very green. And the pink polyester lining is still very pink. So it's brilliant... just check your fabric and mind the sneaky asterisk in one of the images I didn't see until afterwards.

I purchased this to put the colour back into one in my daughter’s green hoodies from TopShop. It didn’t work. The instructions for the dye are indecipherable and seem to be made for US washing machines. I found a YouTube video that RIT had sponsored which was also fairly useless and just skipped key steps. If you have a stand-alone machine you may achieve better results. However, having a built-under washing machine makes it virtually impossible to pour in almost two litres of boiling water (4 cups water and salt/ four cups of water and dye) without scalding yourself or covering your cupboard doors/ worktop/ washing machine/ floor with dye (in my case fluorescent green). You need to get this water into the top feed tray before the washing machine finishes the flushing of the powder/ liquid. Also once you’re past 40 years old there’s no chance of you reading the instructions on the bottle which may as well have been printed on microfiche. Basically it has ruined my daughter’s hoodie top (which was a faded lime green to start with). The dye is patchy with dark green areas - a total mess and I subsequently had to purchase a new jogging top to replace it. However, please also note that RIT would like you to purchase a dye fixer (another £10). That’s £20 in total, making it fairly uneconomical considering a replacement hoodie is £35 delivered. And wait for it, some garments may need more than one bottle of dye... bargain! My advice would be to save your money and either tie dye when it’s at the end of its life or just buy new.

Nakoma black dye is very good. But you've got to put the clothes in the bucket and soak for several hours. The one I wanted is the one you put in the washing machine. It does a better job.👍

First time I've used a Rit Dye and it was brilliant! I usually use the other famous dye, but couldn't get the colour I needed, so decided to try Rit. I wanted a soft Peachy Pink, so mixed some Coral with some Petal Pink and it worked out fine. Not quite as "soft" a shade as I wanted but deffo the right colour. First time using so I'll probably guage the quantities better next time. I used the one for cotton and was dying an 80% Cotton 20% Polyester fabric and it worked perfectly.

Used to tone down synthetic wig that was too blonde worked wonders

Works exactly as advertised. No more no less. Good product, prompt delivery. Happy with purchase

Good product and easy to use

ممتاز.. غيرت لون نظارة الولد طلبتها بالغلط وردي وقلبت لونها

I bought it to experiment with dyeing process. Took an old jeans (almost white in color) followed the instructions on the bottle and the results are satisfactory. It gave a dark navy blue colour to the pants. Got a very intense Color as I had used the whole bottle. Fabric although hardens (becomes stiffer) after dyeing.

Horrible! Para empezar, el color es azul, no es verde. Y para acabar, no tiñe fibras sintéticas, como sí afirman en el anuncio. Lo quería para teñir unas zapatillas de deporte. Adjunto fotos de lo mal que se han quedado. Deberían indemnizar por las prendas dañadas. Tengo que tirar a la basura estas zapatillas porque están detenidas y ya no me las puedo poner así.
