Pack of 2 Rit Dye Laundry Treatment Color Remover

I only wish I could supply before and after pictures, dang it! You would be shocked. I had 2 items that needed correcting: one was a white flannel sheet (with a printed design) and one was a white t shirt with a design on it, and a different color fabric collar and sleeve trim. The sheet has some bleed from a tie dye shirt I slept in that apparently wasn't washed enough. The bleed wasn't too bad but you could see it since the background of the sheets are white. But holy cow, the t shirt was accidentally washed with a large piece of burgundy fabric that had never been washed, and bled like it was soaked full of dye. My white shirt turned like, medium pink. Not even light pink. A very strong pink. I thought it was ruined for sure. I thought I'd try this but figured since the bleed was so bad, it'd probably just lighten it. For one queen sheet and one t shirt I used two packages. I was skeptical but shocked when I looked in the washer: ALL color had been removed!!!! I was stunned! I really regretted not taking a before and after pic. But IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The collar/sleeve trim on the shirt actually went from a medium royal blue to brown. So weird! Luckily on this shirt, it actually works. But that's something people should be aware of. The printing on the sheet and shirt were not affected at all. Also note, I have a pair of "cold water wash only" pants I also wanted to treat but will not be able to, as this requires a hot water cycle. So if your garments meet the criteria, this stuff is amazing and it does work!

Washed a brand-spankin'-new red blouse, and it got mixed in with the 'regular laundry' accidentally. I *usually* wash new clothes (reds especially) by themselves or with like colors, but I'd grown lazy and lulled into a false sense of security over the past couple of decades by some *remarkably* colorfast red clothing, and thus I wasn't as careful as I should have been. Well, you can guess what happened, and my two white blouses came out of the wash a pale shade of rose. Quite pretty, actually, and the excess dye from the red blouse had deposited perfectly evenly. Impressive when you think about it actually. One shirt was 100% polyester, and the other 100% cotton. They came out nearly the same shade. If you've ever dyed fabrics, you know how difficult that is to achieve on purpose. Figures it'd happen accidentally. The transferred dye was incredibly stubborn. It survived Carbona Color Run Color Remover, Oxyclean, and even bleach. If only the red had been so attached to it's original garment! Had to order the Rit Dye Remover on Amazon, because I live in a podunk nowhere town that has the most ridiculously limited selection of products. (If only I could write reviews of places I've lived... 0/10 would not recommend) Rit had been my first choice, but due to lack of availability, it became my last resort. I ended up using both boxes after being *not quite* satisfied with the brightness of my white blouses following the first treatment. (I gave them the old college try, I really did. They were white, but there was still just the tiniest hint of pink. Probably nobody would have noticed but me, but *I* knew and it was annoying me) After the second round you could use the shirts to signal passing aircraft in the event of being lost while hiking and needing to flag down your rescuers. They looked *better* than new. Don't bother with other dye removers. Just get Rit.

works like new

I follow the instructions for a white blouse that turned pink after washing it with a new red T-shirt . In less than five minutes the pink color was removed . I was very happy to have my white blouse again. Then I put other white tshirt that were a little dull and the white came back ! I was so happy with the results that I decided to put a blue shirt that was a little gray after being washed with black jeans. To my surprised instead of taking the gray away, it took also the light blue and now I have a light beige/cream color. Then I was not very happy. Most probably the original color was beige/cream !! I do recommend this product and I will use it again. The material was cotton or cotton blend. I used the stove method which was very efficient!

Rit, I'm a believer! I had a brand new white puffer jacket (bagged) and sitting in my car when my toddler decided to pull it out and dump red kool-aid all over it. I of course didn't notice until we had arrived home and it was entirely saturated with kool-aid and dyed pink. I had intended to return this puffer ($80) for a smaller size but now was facing needing to throw it in the trash can due to it being ruined. Insert tears... As soon as I got home, I laundered the puffer on cold to see how much I could remove from a normal wash cycle. The answer: not much. I refused to dry the jacket, and put it in a sink to soak with oxiclean and some bleach where I scrubbed and soaked it for 2 days. Very little to no improvement. I was 2 minutes away from throwing it in the trash can before my M-I-L came over and said that I should try a color remover, like Rit. I told her there was no way it could pull the stain, but proceeded to search amazon and came upon a lovely video of a lady boiling her garments and turning them white again. For $7 it was worth a shot. Amazon overnighter this product and I followed the instructions and boiled water over the stove, adding the Rit solution and garment into the pot and stirring for about 20 minutes. After 5-10 minutes I could see the stains were lightening and by 20 minutes. Voila. Gone and absolutely zero signs that a stain ever was there. Like magic! I'm so thrilled. Will definitely be keeping a Rit stash on hand from here on out. Thanks so much for those who posted reviews and for the lady with the video that gave me hope that I could remove my garment stain as well.

Here is what it all boils down to: depending on the type of fabric and the type of dye, it will either work surprisingly well or completely destroy...or do nothing. ALWAYS do a test patch...but there's an except to that rule. I used the stove top method. My findings: -Works great for white cotton T-shirts and most white cotton. Got a red stain out of a new white band T-shirt and red color bleed on a white cotton towel. -For two years, I had two cotton garments that had a blue bleed (wear a lot of jeans). They'd been washed and dried and the color bleed was likely hard set. This made them white again after 2 years of blue. Could see the design again. This was a wow factor. -Problematic factor: two cotton garments, both with color, had different results. One was white with green dye, which did not change in color or bleed; white was restored. One was white with blue dye, and the blue dye was changed an awful brown. Same fabric, so be careful with dyes. Not all dyes are equal. -Here's the exception: I tossed in a white cotton garment that had blue color bleed. It immediately turned a SALMON PINK. However, I stuck with the instructions, and after the 20 minutes on the stove, it turned cream color. After a second treatment with an additional packet, it finally turned white. So those of you getting the salmon pink/orange might try another one or two treatments. If that fails, toss it. It's lost. -It had no effect on one garment that wasn't cotton. Still blue. -Ruined two Victoria's Secret bras, but this is likely because of the different fabric types, cheap dye, and cheap plastic. One was white with blue and purple (got blue bleed)-->it's now just yellow even after 3 treatments (but it was yellow after the first). Another was white with blue (white got blued)--it's now light yellow with blue after 3 treatments. -Another garment, it restored the white patches, but removed the red dye from the fabric behind it so it went from stark red to a light red starting to become pink. Be careful with colors. Might be better to dab any white areas and then wash, but not sure. -Smell is toxic, definitely ventilate. But it's not unbearable. IT CAN CAUSE PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE. I got a drop on my eyelid and then read the package. If you're clumsy or accident prone, just wear safety goggles for sure.

My mother and law was here and so nicely did my laundry but accidently washed lights and darks together. What was so awful was I had all my new winter clothes in that load. In addition to white shirts and cream sweaters I had 2 pair of brand new never been washed dark blue jeans. All of the blue dye stained my whites to a light blue color. I was so upset but couldn't really be mad because it was a mistake. I was going to just go buy new whites when my mom said to try Rit Dye. I was unsure that the stain that had several days to set in would be able to be fixed. After reading the easy to follow directions I completed the steps and was flabbergasted that not only did all the blue come out but the cream shirts went back to cream rather than being bleached white. My new clothes were saved and I now keep this as a staple in my laundry room just in case. So happy I saved money by using the low cost and simple prodcut to get my whites and creams back to thier original state. I failed to notice the box came with two packets of dye but all are needed to successfully restore the original color. Not a bad thing just good to know if you plan on keeping a back up box like me.

If you are hoping this product will remove denim or other dark color dye from a colored item, DON'T BUY THIS. Only buy if the item you're cleaning is completely white. I didn't learn my lesson the hard way, but I also didn't read the instructions on the back pictured in this listing until after I purchased it (I instead read reviews and thought I was taking a chance). I washed my absolute favorite bright hot pink crewneck the other day accidentally with a pair of jeans. I ALWAYS put Shout sheets in my laundry loads (just in case! these work so great to capture leaking color dye so it doesn't get into your clothes!) BUT it was a very large load and this was the first time the sheet didn't prevent dye transfer. My crewneck was suddenly spotted with dark denim dye transfer. I THOUGHT this product had the intent of removing dye transfer. It DOES, but it also removes ALL color. If you read the back of the box carefully, you will learn this. After looking online, this product was designed to remove ALL color and dye from a clothing article, in order to re-dye it a different color or apply tie dye. RIT even sells color dyes for this purpose. If you wash anything with any kind of color on it, it will be removed or forever changed. P.S. if you plan to use in your washing machine, one small load will require both of the packets this purchase comes with.

Best ,working good

This worked so well I was completely shocked...I had a huge pile of linen clothing that had gotten wet in my crawl space because of flooding and the dye from one piece of clothing ran into all of them. I bleached 2 of the lighter ones which took at least 30 mins of soaking and didn't remove the stains 100% If you follow the instructions (mix with water and bring to almost a boil) it takes less than a second to remove stains with this. I dipped my clothes in and the stains disappeared instantly.....I was able to dip many pieces in using just one box and it did change the color of one of my dresses when it was wet but it returned to its original colour when it dried. I used this on white, blue and light coloured patterned linen and linen/cotton clothes...so I didn't try it with other fabrics but if the clothes are stained anyways you don't really have anything to lose.... I regret not taking before and after photos but honestly I didn't think it would work as I had been trying to remove these stains since winter 2023 and they wouldn't budge. I would highly recommend trying this out.

Worked perfectly to strip back heavy cotton cargo shorts from khaki, they ended up a very consistent light beige and after dyed navy blue. I did ask AI for the best method, I did them in a big pan on the stove rather than the method advised on the packaging but that’s not to say following the instructions would have worked just as well.

Estoy sorprendida con los resultados, lave un pantalón claro con una prenda roja que había teñido, evidentemente mi pantalón se pintó y no se le quitó con nada, cuando sumergí la prenda en el producto siguiendo las instrucciones fue como magia y al contacto con el agua eliminó el color rosa que tenía y quedó como antes

Useful to “decolor” whatever you need and also it’s great to keep white textiles pristine! 👍 Highly recommend!
