How To Color White Jeans Black With Acid Wash?

This video demonstrates the process of dyeing jeans using Rit’s Back to Black Kit. The process involves pouring the dye into water, stirring continuously for 10-60 minutes, then washing the fabric with mild detergent. Before dyeing, it is important to prewash the fabric in warm, soapy water without any fabric softeners to remove any finishes that may interfere with dye absorption. Salt or vinegar can be added if dyeing cotton, linen, silk, or wool.

To enhance the color and reduce color bleeding, Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative should be used immediately after dyeing and before washing. Rinse the fabric in warm water and then gradually cool it until the desired color is achieved. This process can take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the desired boldness.

To lock in the dye, use Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative or a DIY dye setting technique. After washing the fabric on low heat with a mild detergent, dry the item on a high temperature. To refresh faded jeans with bluing or update white jeans with dye in your favorite color, follow the step-by-step process.
