Rit dye: black, black skinnies

My favorite pairs of black skinnies have been fading in color, so I purchased Rit dye and gave it a go.

Before:

I attempted the bucket method just because I didn't want to bleach pots, pans, or the washer.

Ingredients:
1 Rit dye package (mixed with 2 cups boiling water)
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon detergent
2 pairs of faded black skinnies

All poured in a large plastic bin, filled with hot water

Next step: stir constantly for 10-30minutes.. I was bored after 4 minutes..

Made it to 10 minutes with a few splashes on the counter (Rit stains, so I had to quickly clean it up because I wasn't at my own house)

After the 10 minutes of soaking, I took the pants outside and sprayed them until the water ran clear..

11 pairs of disposable gloves later,
I put the the wrung out jeans in the wash for a regular wash cycle.
