Love Rit dyes, have used them for decades and the quality and durability of the colors has never changed. I've tried other brands just to experiment but find myself returning to Rit for quality and color choice (they have the most colors.) I used to use my top loading washer to dye my clothing/fabric which works well. I now have a front loader and can't control the water level/agitation time. I dyed my last batch in the sink and it worked just fine -- correct color and even application of the dye. I washed the items separately after dying and they turned out great. Cleanup requires chlorine bleach, but it was pretty easy with paper towels and a spray rinse.
How to rate a bottle of Dye? Hmmm...well, if you've used any of Rit's dyes for cotton and such, this is just like those! Only difference is that it's the Charcoal Grey color that, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to be stocked by any of the retailers I visited (5). It's a good color and if you need charcoal grey like I did, then getting it shipped to you quickly via Amazon is the go.
Great results dying a tencel jacket from a pale blue to gray.
Some other reviewers have complained of splotchy results or colors that they weren't expecting. If you use the liquid dye or dissolve the powdered dye thoroughly then the problem is not the dye, it is the way you are applying it or the condition of the item itself. For example if you don't stir continuously during dyeing, or if your item is worn unevenly or not perfectly clean. As for color, that is dependent in the fabric type and the dye conditions (soak time, water temp). Do a swatch test if at all possible! Also you can do a google image search and find a picture of how different fiber types look after use if different RIT dyes.
Faded duvet...buy an expensive new one or risk RIT-ing it? RIT to the rescue for $14 for 2 bottles. Anthropologie Quilla cotton voile duvet had faded to a green dingy grey now it's saturated rich deep charcoal again. Next time 3 bottles and I'd follow directions and wear gloves as I dyed my hands in the laundry room sink. Thank you Rit!
I've bought this item twice over the course of months and I knew nothing about dying fabric but this is an easy to use dye and the directions are on the bottle and I just love how my clothes come back to life with this magic in a bottle !!!!

I splashed bleach on my charcoal Allbird (wool) shoes. I was surprised to find, on Amazon only after looking in stores, the Rit dye in Charcoal Grey and for wool. The directions were easy to follow and it worked like a charm. I actually like the color a little better than the original color---it's just a little darker, but a true charcoal.
Had a bleach spot in a brand new pair of grey pants. I've never used dye before but they look better than new!!!! It was a bit of work but they saved the pants.
Love the color. Use the rit dye fixative afterwards it really makes a difference.
Easier use than powder
I wanted some vegan friendly dye to color some white pants I got. This stuff was great. Directions are very, very easy to follow and the results were just what I wanted!
