Rit Dye 88720 RIT COLORSTAY, Dye Fixative

My Wife dyed some stuff and was really happy with the outcome. She uses this along with the Rit Color Dye and highly recommends using this each time. Great results and Happy Wife = Happy Life!

I’m on my 5th purchase. I originally bought this when I was dyeing some shirts a few years back (pandemic hobby lol), but now I use it more often for new clothing that bleeds color (especially purple colors seem to bleed like crazy) Last week I purchased a shirt (tec gear) from a local kohl’s store and thank goodness I hand washed it first because it filled the sink with brownish purple water that would have stained my other laundry. The color never seemed to stop coming so I added a capful of this and some hot water- amazing how it stopped the bleed! I’m now confident to launder the shirt with my other clothes in the future without fear of damaging everything! Easy to use with perfect results, especially if you’re buying clothes online from foreign retailers for those cheap prices- trust me, hand wash those capris leggings first to make sure they don’t bleed dye, but if they do just add this and it’s fixed 👍

Save yourself the headache and just get this if you are planning to dye anything. I used the same RIT dye without it and... never again. The dye never seems to wash out entirely and requires so many rinses that I felt like I was wasting a ton of water. The dye also does seem to wash out and fade pretty much immediately. I saw the color of my garment before washing and loved it, but was disappointed at how much lighter it actually turned out. If that is what you're going for, you can skip this I guess, but the amount of water you'll use rinsing is just scary.This totally stops that and locks the color in. The residual dye washes out super fast and doesn't leave a bunch of residue behind. The color stays super vivid through repeated washings.

It works ok

Definitely should be sure to finish your dye project with this. Easy to use. End result - process quick, easy and my dying projects have kept their color through many wash cylces!

The RIT dye worked well, but the fixative did not. I ended up using it three times on a shirt and it continued to bleed. I followed the video on the webpage closely, and after rinsing the shirt more than a half dozen times (I lost count), the bleeding diminished, but when I dried the shirt, it turned out to be paler than I had hoped. I will wash it separately in the future to be sure my other clothes are not stained.

When combined with soda ash its highly effective in fixing dye.

Great price for when you cant get it locally!
