Recently I read an article that stated you can buy a special coloring agent for blacks at JoAnn Fabrics. I haven't checked out the item, but it might be helpful. I don't know if it is the same as the Rit dye or not.

Rit dye and when you wash use Woolite for darks and don't dry them.

I re-dye my blacks every so often but I boil the dye in a pot I use expressly for dying. Use the quantity of packages the box states. I boil it to really set the color then after boiling for 1/2 hour I set it in a salt bath for a 1/2 hour. I then run it under cold water till it no longer bleeds color. to be extra sure wash your dyed garment by itself for the first 2-3 washes.

Garment tags may say 100 percent cotton but there is no guaranty, I've always found its better to be safe than sorry. And yes I really have to like something to go through the dye thing. But boiling will set it much better I think

Do not over stuff clothes as the dye may not saturate everything.

If dying to mask a stain get the stain out first.
