Material Fact: Rit Dye Fabric Dye

Fact:

If you're a fiber artist or just a sewer, then this material is for you! The only thing you have to do is be MEGA CAREFUL because this has just as an evil side as the India Ink.

The good thing is that the Rit Dye fabric dye is great for your fabrics if you can't find the right color fabric. There are 2 types of Rit Dye fabric dye: Powder and liquid. It varies in different colors and shades of colors. For example, if you're looking for a particular color blue, you'll see Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Evening Blue and the such.

Tip:

As far as accuracy of the color is concerned, don't always trust the box. Sometime you might get a lighter color or a darker color than what the box is portraying, so be careful.

Before you have ANY dealings with Rit Dye fabric dye, please follow these instructions just to save your carpet because once the dye sets into the carpet and it's deeply imbeded, you'll have to replace the ENTIRE carpet and it's very expensive to replace carpet.


Intructions:
1. When you're going to use Rit Dye, make sure that you have a special station set OUTSIDE in the yard where grass is and AWAY from any concrete or stone-like porch. Rit Dye stains!!!!!! Be concious of that!!!!

2. Make sure that you have a special clothes hamper in your special station because it can easily get on your clothes and you can track it on the carpet without you knowing about it. So put your clothes that you wore outside in that special clothes hamper when you were dealing with the Rit Dye so you can wash it later, do this for the liquid dye as well. Just make sure that you carry the ENTIRE hamper with you so the dye will stay on your clothes and won't track on the carpet.

3. Keep ALL Rit Dye and fabric dye, in general, outside due to is staining the carpet and possibly ruining your carpet.

Tip:

On a friendly note, please make sure that you follw these instructions because when water hits the floor where there is fabric dye accidently spilled, whether you knew or not, the water activates the dye within the carpet and it dyes the carpet that color. Keep your shoes outside as well just in case there is any dye on your shoes that might be there.

You think that you can vaccuum this up and be okay, but that's NOT the case whatsoever!!! You have to be MEGA, EXTRA careful in dealing with fabric dye of any kind, not just Rit Dye in general.

So please heed this warning. If you want to fork out serious cash to replace the carpet over tiny, colored dots from fabric dye, then be my guest. I'm just giving you a friendly warning^^

Anyway, I hope this helps^^
