came out great. they photograph poorly, but are a nice consistent black now, and hides the wear on the driver’s mat far better. the other 3 are basically back to brand new
$2.50 for a bottle of rit dye, available anywhere. mixed in a big bucket of hot water and a little soap and some vinegar. push it down, stir it around, weigh them down with a brick so they stay submerged. i removed them a coupe of time to rub the fabric around to ensure it all got down into the fibres. meant to let sit an hour, but cant be TOO black. so I left it until I had time the next day
then rinsed until the water ran clear. which would have been easier in summer, as my yard is full of snow, of which some is now purple tainted

Yikes, RIT is pretty awful stuff. Certainly shouldn’t have left them in there any longer than suggested. Watch where you walk after using them on a wet day.

What I meant was different, and particularly synthetic, fabrics react to RIT in different ways. Stain a cotton tshirt and rinse it well that color is set. Those floor mats could be majestic or a mess.
