2 sessions of rit color remover and 2 sessions of rit whitener

Steps
1. Wet the mesh with hot water
2. Follow the directions on the color remover box. Use only half of everything so you can make two servings with one box
3. Use a toothbrush to get the color remover on the mesh. MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERY SPOT
4. Use a toothbrush to get hot water on the mesh and to scrub out the color remover
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 three times
6. Get a bowl of hot water and laundry detergent
7. Scrub the mesh with a toothbrush with this solution
8. Scrub mesh with water to get laundry detergent out. Repeat this three times
9. Let dry for 2 days untouched
10. Repeat steps using Rit whitener
11. Do two sessions of each

Note: It is very important that you Remove the color remover and laundry detergent very well with water. This will help make the mesh whiter
:You can also pat dry the shoes with a towel before you air dry them
:Rit color remover and Rit whitener are powders that come in little boxes. They can be found at any grocery store in the laundry detergent aisle, drug stores, and arts and craft stores
:Patience is key. You needed to make sure you hit all parts of the mesh very well. Plan to take 1.5 hours for this entire thing

i have a question. i seen a video optimusp517 did on cleaning the mesh with RIT. in his video he states to damp the mesh 1st with the hot water and then apply the RIT solution and then the Deturgant soultion then use plain hot water at the end to take it all out at the end. your method is a bit diff to where u apply the RIT solution and the then use hot water to take it out. repeat that a few times. and then do the Deturgant solution at the end. i just want to know which is correct or works better or if it makes a difference which way i do it. thanks!
