Question

Answer 1

you could try washing it several times in hot water and detergent. you have to be careful with bleach..bleach tends to run at times or spot.

Answer 2

Hi, I've had this same problemo before. Here is what I did. Don't use liquid detergent, use the powder kind... Add the detergent and some bleach (not too much bleach, maybe about 1/4 cup) into hot water, and after the washer has filled, add the pants. This way ,you won't get any bleach spots. Just lighter jeans.

Answer 3

Rub on bleach in the spots you want lighter.Then wash em.If u want the whole pair lighter, toss in some whightening soap

Answer 4

I was a master of this in high school. fill the bathtub with enough water to submerge the jeans flat. mix in 1 cup of bleach and stir. place the jeans in the tub and move them back and forth to eliminate spotting. Rinse and wash seperately.

Answer 5

Bleach may make them streaky. Have you tried washing them in hat water? My bofriend always gets dark jeans and the color never lasts very long.

Answer 6

Bleach, you're liable to get big white spots.

Try fine grain sandpaper. Or just wash 'em a billion times.

Answer 7

THE MORE YOU WASH THEM THE LIGHTER THEY GET. BUT BLEACH FOR COLORS IS GOOD I THINK CLOROX PUT OUT THAT KIND OF BLEACH.

Answer 8
