Answer 1

Turn the jeans inside out when you put them in the washer. Use cold water. Wash them only with dark colors. It is normal for them to bleed a little the first couple of times that you wash them.

Answer 2

You may have gotten dye washout in the first wash because denim fabric is often overdyed to begin with so the color looks nice and saturated in the final product. It may have also been dyed using actual indigo, as Levi's are. Indigo is known for being difficult to set into fabric, and the denim material is purposefully overdyed to offset the tendency for the dye to continually leach out in future washing. You can try to set the dye using a combination of 1 cup of salt and 1 cup of vinegar to a washer of warm water, and soaking the jeans for an hour or so. Then run through a rinse cycle and dry them. Try not to bake dry your jeans, since this breaks the threads and the frayed ends give a more dusky look to the overall color.
No matter what you do, jeans fade. You can combat it by washing in cold water, inside out. Eventually your jeans are going to fade, though, no matter what you do. You can take advantage of the dye release in new pants by washing faded jeans along with them and allowing the whole load to stew for a while before rinsing them out. The old jeans will absorb some of the released dye, and it can add a bit of life to them. When you wash a pair for the first time, it also helps if you add the salt and vinegar to set the color a bit. If they get too faded, you can try to use a commercial dye, but in my experience the colors they call denim blue are always off. I just get navy blue and black, and combine half of the black with the blue. The jeans are not the original color, but they are a nice dark blue-black which is better looking than the tired faded blue some jeans turn. Or if you are really dedicated, you can order indigo dye and use that. If you choose that route, though, beware- indigo dye stains other things really badly and smells terrible. True indigo also requires an acid fix, which adds another smell altogether. So you may just want to learn to love either faded jeans or a less true blue color.

Answer 3

It is normal for jeans to fade a bit after the first washing. Try turning them inside out and washing them in cold water(cold rinse setting too). Also hang dry them, no dryer...There is really nothing you can do to completely stop them from fading, but this can slow down the process a bit.

Answer 4

I read in a magazine once that you should turn your jeans inside out to help stop most of the color from coming out then line dry them.

Answer 5

There somewhat isn't any chemical you could positioned directly to maintain the colour and employing a blue dye is risky because of the fact it rather is annoying to regulate the tip consequence. i prefer to propose washing them interior out in chilly water and then putting them to dry. or you could dry sparkling them.

Answer 6

Wash your jeans how you normally wash them, but when it comes time to drying them, hang them in your bathroom instead. It also helps reduce shrinking.

Answer 7

Faded look is cool, don't worry about it

Answer 8

Buy new ones.
