How well the dye will take will depend on the content or the fabric. Cottons will do better than synthetics. 50-50 will work well but all polyester or nylon I wouldn't try if you expect the colors to take well and be vivid.
I dyed synthetic gloves in burgandy but I wanted pink so that worked for me.
Some dry clean only things can be carefully hand washed and line dried. So that would allow you to dye them also.
You can increase the darkness of the color by using a heated process. A big pot on the stove. You can also make the dye stay in better if you add vinigar to the wash water to set the color. But don't use the heat process on the dry clean only things. If it is wool you will get a miniture.
