Bleaching dark blue jeans to make them lighter color-Help?
I know some of you out there have done this and I tried to bleach my husband's jeans to a lighter color (picky man anyway) because he wouldn't wear the dark blue jeans that we bought him. Well, when I took them out of the bleach water two days later, even though I had weighted them down to evenly bleach everywhere, what a shock! It looked like I had tie-died them blue and white in most places. There has to be a secret to doing this, I have tried and failed. Does anyone know how to evenly bleach dark blue jeans to look like the light blue ones most people are now wearing??? I used plain old chlorine bleach about a cup to 5 gal water. HELP

Try to fill the other places with a paint brush.
Never heard of this, why didn't you just exchange them?
Regardless, you've taught me a way to refresh some old jeans!!!!

Fill the washing device with heat or warm water and upload a million/2 cup bleach, then put in the pair of denims and enable it run the cycle. Doing this might fade the denims even though it may fade inconsistently. yet differently to objective is warm water and vinegar in a bucket, 50/50 and enable the denims soak for an hour. What does not pop out of the denims will set in and make it extra problematic to vanish. stable luck!

Doing this would fade the denims besides the undeniable fact that it may fade erratically. yet differently to attempt is warm water and vinegar in a bucket, 50/50 and enable the denims soak for an hour. What would not come out of the denims will set in and make it greater complicated to vanish. good success!
