i know this may sound crazy, but fill your sink with water and dilute some dishwasher gel and put your jeans in there to soak for awhile. dishwasher soap will whiten anything. i use it all the time to clean my husbands white sneakers and the shoelaces. it works wonderfully. wash your jeans after you soak them or they will be a little stiff. i also whiten my bras this way. bleaching will cause things to yellow. lots of luck.

Don't bleach them, it will turn them yellow. The best stain remover I found for something like that is to make a paste out of salt and lemon juice and use a toothbrush. Scrub in a circular motion until you can't see the stain. The lemon juice is a natural bleach and the salt is abrasive enough to help remove the stain from the fibers. Then, wash them in HOT water. repeat if necessary, but whatever you do don't dry them until you are sure the stain is gone or it will set the stain and nothing will help. Good Luck.

I love carpet cleaner for clothing stains that won't come out any other way. At this point, what do you have to lose?
You can also try a bleaching them. You would need to bleach the entire pair. Fill the washer with water, add the detergent and bleach and let it agitate---then add the jeans. That will keep the bleach from leaving uneven spots. I would not use a bleach pen until your last and final resort since it might leave uneven color spots.
Good luck.

Dye them a funky pink - maybe using a mixture of hennessey and cranberry juice?
White jeans are so 80's anyway...

Try using oxy clean... Fill up your sink with hot water and 1 or 2 scoops of oxy clean...let them soak for about 2 hours and they should come out looking like new... Good Luck.

Try some OxyClean. I use that on everything. It won't hurt the fabric, and everytime I have used it, it works miracles! Hope this helps ya out.

How often are you wearing (those) white jeans? White jeans are not very practical nor IN nowadays. Forego without the headache and time and wear as they are. Hopefully, you are not wearing them daily. That in itself would be a fashion disaster.
