How to dye faded black dress pants.
Clothes don't stay the same over time.If your dress pants have faded as a result of regular wear and tear, improper cleaning or sunlight, you can restore their original brilliance by dyeing them black with do-it-yourself fabric dyes.When dyeing your pants, keep in mind that fabric that is "Dry Clean Only" or requires cold-water washing are not appropriate for the dyeing process and can become permanently damaged.
If you want to avoid staining your hands, place the plastic gloves on them.Before the water starts to boil, put 3 gallons of water on the stove.Add half a package of powdered dye or a bottle of liquid dye to two cups of hot water.
Put heated water into your sink or bucket and add a pre-mixed dye to it.
Place your pants under the water.Turn off the tap and remove your pants from the water.Take your pants out of the dye solution and put them in a bucket or sink.
For 10 to 30 minutes, put your pants in the dye solution.You can rinse your garment in warm water after removing it from the solution.Slowly decrease the water temperature until it is cool and the dye stops bleeding from the garment.
Place your pants in the washing machine and wash them with a mild detergent.The pants should be removed from the washing machine at the end of the cycle.Dry according to the instructions on the care-tag.
