Dark Wash Jeans to Light Wash Jeans - How to Bleach Denim

In this quick tutorial I show you how to change the dark washing of your denim to a lighter washing.
I just used the cheapest bleach (1 liter) I could find.
My water / bleach ratio was about 1:3
The more bleach you use the faster the process will go. I didn't want to use too much bleach, so it was easier to control the process. Before you end up with complete white jeans or holes in the fabric. In my case I found my jeans light enough after 5 hours.
Note: I used cheap bleach with contains only 5% of Sodium hypochlorite. That's why it took me 5 hours. If you use stronger bleach the processing time may differ.

Before you do this, please check how strong your bleach is. I had a very dark, almost black wash of jeans, used a water to bleach ratio of 1:3 and within an hour my jeans were extremely pale and a pretty uneven color. Just be careful before you ruin any clothing

@@sashawongsakihara2367 I'm going to assume that he meant 1 part bleach to 3 parts water, but in the video I believe he says 3 parts bleach to 1 part water. If you try this, I'd definitely just try a small amount of bleach, heavily watered down, monitor it, and adjust as necessary

I used dishwasher soap that contained bleach to bleach my denim jacket, because I didn’t have bleach on hand, and it worked excellently. Just put a full bottle of dishwasher liquid in a container, with approx a tea pitcher of hot water and let sit in the sun for about three hours, moving around with gloved hand ever 1/2 hour to one hour. Rinse very very well in hot water and then cold and machine wash. Perfect.

@saradise99 2 жыл бұрын

Please be careful when doing this, you need to do it in a bathtub or really large sink so there are not any creases! I tried to do this and there are splotches on my jeans! I’d recommend doing this in the bathtub so you can lay the jeans out completely straight.

omg i know this is like suuuuper late and idk if u ever did it but if the paint is just on the back pockets (bc i know that was a trend or whatever) you could try to put masking tape or painters tape over it when you bleach. Im not sure if it would work but it's what I would do.
