I have a pair of jeans that have been bleached in some parts.... I was wondering what would happen if I was to put dye on it. Like Rit or something... I've tried calling different cleaners, but I couldn't find one with a good answer!

Yes, you can dye them, but bear in mind that the bleached areas have been stressed and the fabric isn't as strong there. Also, it's lighter, so if you are trying for an overall uniform colour, you probably won't get it because of the difference in the original colour between the bleached and the unbleached areas.
However, it's worth a try!

They may not dye evenly, but worth a try. Use the Rit color remover first. Your other alternative would be to put them in a bleach solution first to get all the color fairly even, then rinse and use the color remover and rinse. Then the dye. Rit does have a denim color available.

I think you can dye just about any material. If it has bleached spots those areas would probably really grab the dye well.
Worth a shot... I like Rit, you can use it right in your washer.
Good Luck

The dye will absorb a lot deeper in the bleached spots because the fabric has been wakened.
Just pick a color you like and can live with.

the bleached parts would be a higher saturation of color than the non bleached parts. Bascially, the bleached parts would be darker patches of the color that you are going to dye it. I think that would look pretty cool.

you ought to purchase dye at any food market or objective, walmart, etc. i'd purely moist the spot on you denims, then observe the dye in accordance to the instructions are a procedures because the answer potential. you don't need to do the full works, on your washer. If that doesn't artwork, the least you've finished isn't lined the little section you try to dye. in case you truly love those denims, i'd ask a dry cleanser his professional opinion.
