Nakoma Rit Dye Powder-Color Remover 2oz

Arrived on time. Worked well.

My favourite white bath towels became an insipid green when a cheap tea towel got into the wash. Rit made things worse and was a total waste of money.I followed the instructions for using a front-loading washing machine. I used 2 packs of Rit for 2 bath towels (small load) ran the hottest cotton wash.Whilst the dye has marginally lessened overall (now a chewing gum grey/green) it's far from a win because there's now very obvious dirty dark green stains and streaks scattered across the towels. I can only assume this where the towels reabsorbed the dye. These dark green stains are actually more concentrated areas of colour than existed before.If Rit worked 2 packs of dye would have been cheaper than replacing the towels. If I were judging the amount of dye that has been removed I'd say it would take another 2-4 packs to remove all the offending dye from the towels. However, there's no point in even attempting this if the towels reabsorb the dye in streaks in a washing machine.Rit might work on the stove, but not in the washing machine.It also stinks even if you do ventilate.

I bought this to remove some Dylon bright blue dye from a small cotton quilt I'd made, and later dyed. It does say on the package that it may not work on some blues and greens, but I decided to try it anyway.I used the colour remover according to the directions in my front-loader machine, and was so pleased to see through the glass door the colour come away, and the natural shade of the fabric showing once again! Yay! I was ecstatic.UNTIL... the first cycle finished, and the water drained away. It was still 90*c in there. It hadn't rinsed yet. All should have been well... but as soon as the air hit that fabric, it turned blue again. It was like a horrible magic trick.The only thing I can compare it to is the chemical reaction that dyeing with woad has. Woad is a natural dyestuff that looks greenish-yellow in the dye pot, but the contact with air makes whatever is being dyed turn blue. (What can I say - I'm a re-enactor, LOL.)SO. Believe the package. It works!... but then doesn't work on some blues.

Did exactly what I needed it to do. Had a dress that I love(fits perfectly and it has POCKETSSSSSS) and wished it came in other colours, alas it did not. The dress came on sale so decided to buy another one and give this a go. Followed instructions to the letter, it was quite laborious stirring a big pot of boiling water, at first wasn't convinced, even at the end of the 20 mins but after rinsing etc it was very pale so went for the dye. Beyond happy with the result and may buy a couple more and treat myself to the rainbow. NB this dress is full cotton/muslin but the tread is synthetic blend but it still came out well. Picture collage is original green, Rit colour removed then Dylon Tulip Red 'machine all in one'.

But frustrated - a friend was going abroad and my machine had accidentally died her white clothes pink. I bought this and paid extra for it to be delivered before she left so I could restore her clothes only to find a minimum of 2 packs are required for washing machine! Would have been really helpful if it had been stated clearly on the product page.Just ordered second pack so can’t comment on effectiveness yet

The Rit powder removed the colour completely was very pleased with it would def buy again if needed.

I had a pair and of black cotton trousers that I wanted to strip the colour from in order to dye navy blue. I suppose black is probably the hardest colour to get out - but this product had very little success. They seemed perhaps a little more faded afterward. Not very successful!

Did not work
