How do I keep dark jeans from bleeding?

Question

I have a few pairs of dark jeans. I love the color so I dry clean them to keep the shade, however the dark blue color gets over everything- even my skin! Is there any type of solution or spray I can get to prevent this from happening?

Answer 1

Turn them inside out when washing and only wash in cold water.

Answer 2

You're going to have to wash them in cold water at least once to remove the excess dye. There is no solution or stuff you can spray on them, you have to get the excess dye off the jeans with a cold water wash in the gentle cycle. Then hang them up and let them air dry. That should do it. After that you can dry clean them and your dye issue should be resolved.

Answer 3

Wash them in cold water with Tide. Also always remember to turn them inside out before washing to prevent fading.

Answer 4

There is a laundry soap out now that protects colors from bleeding and fading.It's specifically for dark clothes too.After a few washes they shouldn't rub off on your skin anymore.

Answer 6
