How do I use Rit Dyemore for Fabric?Updated 16 days ago
Quick Answer: Use the stovetop method with Rit DyeMore, hot water (180°F), and constant stirring for even, long-lasting color on synthetics.
| Step | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Prewash fabric | Removes finishes or coatings that block dye absorption. |
| Prepare dyebath | Heat 3 gallons of water to 180°F, add ½ bottle of Rit DyeMore per 1 lb fabric (double for polyester). |
| Stir well | Ensures dye disperses evenly before fabric is added. |
| Dye fabric | Submerge and stir occasionally for 10–30 minutes until desired color. |
| Rinse | Wash out excess dye and let fabric dry. |
Why It Matters:
Rit DyeMore is specifically formulated for synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon. Using high heat and constant stirring ensures the dye bonds evenly, preventing streaks or patchy results.
