General question Tiny Rit dye drops on cotton sweater, will they come off without color remover?

At work I got a bunch of tiny all-purpose dye droplets on the hand cuff of my cotton sweater. The dye/water was cold and I washed the spot in the sink with soap immediately after. Do I have any chance of not resorting to color remover? Do you think it will come out in the wash? I don't want to lock the dye in on accident. The spots aren't super noticeable, but it bothers me that they're there haha. Thank you!

u/Your-Local-Costumer that’s the neat part, you don’t 1d ago

Rit isn’t a very color fast dye, I would try scrubbing with Dawn dish soap and live with what’s left behind

If you use color remover, it will remove all the dye from the garment not just where the drops of rit were

Thank you!! That was my worry with the color remover. I'll give that a shot!
