Rit All-Purpose Powder Dye, Pearl Gray

Poor quality and it is pinkish brown color

Dyed this secondhand shirt in order to hide some sweat stains. Followed the instructions as well as I could, and the results came out good. The colour was solid throughout. The colour was a bit different than what's on the package, but I have no complaints because I do still like the colour that it turned out.

Helps to keep your clothes looking new. Used to re-dye a pair of Carhartt work shorts that had gotten rather stained. Worked great!

He tintado un encaje sintético y ha quedado perfecto

Like others, I bought this to dye synthetic items, because Amazon described it as suitable for synthetic materials. When it arrived the packaging and instructions stated clearly that it wasn’t. I requested a return/refund, and the seller quickly agreed (as others have pointed out, this may not be their error). Then I thought it had been so cheap it was hardly worth the bother of returning it for a refund, so why not try it out anyway? I wanted to dye a white bra and two different sets of knickers in the Pearl Grey colour, because I can never find the bras I like in the colours I want. I buy plain white bras and play around with colours. Given that I didn’t expect this dye to work, I used my washing machine (95’C cotton wash) instead of faffing about with stove top/bucket methods. I dissolved the powder dye into 1 and half cups of boiling water + half a cup of white vinegar (making it up as I went along, really) and poured it in the drum first, then put the underwear in, then turned the machine on. I’m very pleased with the results. The bra and one set of knickers have fully absorbed the dye . They’re made of 88% Polyamide, 12% Elastane. The other set of knickers had lace on the legs and trim. The lace (not sure what it’s made of) absorbed the dye perfectly. The main knicker fabric (59% Polyester, 34% Nylon, 7% Elastane) didn’t absorb it. But actually, the contrast of the white knickers with grey lace & trim looks really nice, as if they’d cost a lot of money. For the items that took the dye fully, some of the trim is still white. Again, not a problem at all for what I wanted. I gave the items a short wash afterwards (low temp with detergent) and they’ve come out smelling nice and looking good. Possibly a bit darker than what I thought Pearl Grey would look like, but I only dyed a small amount of items and my washing machine works out how much water to use. For accuracy you probably need to follow the instructions properly. For such a small investment I’m very pleased with the results and would happily use it again for anything that’s a polyamide/elastane mix.

Done nothing waste of time and monex
