Nakoma Rit Dye Powder-Color Remover 2oz

It doesn’t have the highest reviews so I was sceptical but was desperate to save my favourite shirt. It got mixed in with a red top which left it bright pink and splotchy. I tried so many things before this which all failed because I did everything you aren’t supposed to do, like let it dry while stained etc. and it ended up living at the bottom of my wardrobe for three whole years before I found this product. Even after all that time with the stains super set in, it worked perfect and the shirt is now as good as new. Importantly, I only used one packet on the small load and despite the packet instructions saying two sachets minimum, it worked fine with just the one packet !!!

My favourite white bath towels became an insipid green when a cheap tea towel got into the wash. Rit made things worse and was a total waste of money. I followed the instructions for using a front-loading washing machine. I used 2 packs of Rit for 2 bath towels (small load) ran the hottest cotton wash. Whilst the dye has marginally lessened overall (now a chewing gum grey/green) it's far from a win because there's now very obvious dirty dark green stains and streaks scattered across the towels. I can only assume this where the towels reabsorbed the dye. These dark green stains are actually more concentrated areas of colour than existed before. If Rit worked 2 packs of dye would have been cheaper than replacing the towels. If I were judging the amount of dye that has been removed I'd say it would take another 2-4 packs to remove all the offending dye from the towels. However, there's no point in even attempting this if the towels reabsorb the dye in streaks in a washing machine. Rit might work on the stove, but not in the washing machine. It also stinks even if you do ventilate.

I ised this a few months back, I used it on a lace wig, the lace wig from bargain lace wigs, was obviously dyed a dark synthetic colour on to human hair. I tried 60 vol bleach and it was only able to lift the hair up to a dark rust. I boiled kettle water during the process of removing colour with this, dipped the hair in it (the rit dye in boiled water) I did this whilst wearing gloves, and the rit dye removed most oif the dark colour out of the lace wig, admittedly the coondition of the wig suffered, but I usedaphogee's reconstructor and conditioners on it and it recovered quite a bit. The colour of the human hair lace wig was a very light apricot and cream blonde, this from being dark brown and rust coloured, I was able to then dye the hair a nice shade of blonde afterwards, but its important that you keep boiloing the kettle water, as the severe heat removes the colour out of the wigs every 7-10 mins over half an hour. No hair shed from the lace wig, just the colour, it wasn't a hooror stoey just smelly to do yuk!! I'm just an ordinary lace wig wearing woman from northern ireland, and I wanted to let lace wig wearers know that rit dye remover does actually work.

I've used this brand's dyes before and found them fabulous. However, this time, I dyed a pair of pants and a linen dress in Taupe, using half the package, but they turned out too dark, leaning toward purple. I tried the Rit Color Remover process, which lightened the color slightly but didn't bring it back to white as promised. I wanted to redye again, but I still achieved the result because now the pants and dress are a lighter beige, just as I wanted. However, I probably should have used two packages. I just didn't realize there was only one package in the package! I washed everything in the washing machine following the instructions, using a 60° wash cycle.

Restored a £100 WNU cotton blouse that picked up some colour from a pale yellow t-shirt. Thrilled with the outcome. Used the stove top method 😊

Wouldn't buy again

Brilliant product I accidentally colour my white table cloth with half hour of boiling they were white again.

If I could've selected zero stars, I would've. I bought 4 packs (which I worked out should've been more than enough) to remove the colour from some cotton towels which had taken on a lacklustre 'greyish' look. I just needed to lighten them enough so I could dye them a stronger shade of the same colour without compromising the vibrancy of the new colour. The towels came out completely blotchy. They're ruined. The original colour is still intact across about 30% of the towels with the rest ranging from a patchwork of light (the colour I wanted them to be) to purple. The machine load was less than two thirds of a normal load which, according to the description, is not too much. Even if I tried to dye them the colour I wanted now, it would not dye the towels evenly. I'm quite angry that this product is being sold by making promises it can't keep.

Incredibly brilliant product - used the stove top method on a cotton/polyester shirt which had been unsuccessfully dye twice. Within minutes the latest colour had gone and after the full 20 minutes the initial dye had been reduced to near zero.

I used it in a cotton shirt that i have stained with other color cloth. It worked perfect on cotton removed all stain.

I accidentally ruined a load of my favorite white shirts by washing them with a small white sock that had a light red band. Everything came out with a pink tint—I was so bummed! My mom suggested I try this product, and it was amazing. The first time, I didn’t follow the directions exactly, so it didn’t remove all the color. But it worked well enough that I could tell it had potential. I bought more, followed the directions to a T, and I’m so glad I did! It completely removed the pink tint from my white shirts—they look brand new. I also used it on some older white tees and button-downs that had yellowed over time due to age, hard water, and sweat stains around the collar and underarms. For those, I had to go through the process twice. While they didn’t come out looking brand new, the yellowing faded significantly—they now look great and are totally wearable again. Highly recommend if you're trying to rescue white clothes!

It's actually did not remove the colour so I am a little disappointed

I had some white clothing items that turned pink with one item being business attire. I used it as instructed and turned those items white again! I am extremely happy with this product as it works as described.
