How to Fade Jeans
Having a good pair of jeans is a must for any wardrobe in the American landscape. Jeans are the all purpose pants that are worn by many people. Jeans are manufactured and designed in many styles and colors. Sometime’s though, people get a pair of jeans that they like but the denim color is too strong. So they realize that this particular pair of jeans would look better if they were faded. So, here is some helpful information for any person wanting to learn how to fade jeans.
- The first step is to get some bleach, a stick about 3 feet long and a pair of old clothes you don’t mind getting bleach spots on.
- The next step is to go to your bathroom and fill up your tub with water. You should fill it up to around 8 to 10 inches of water.
- Next thing you should do is to take the the bleach and add it to the water. The more bleach you add the more your jeans will fade. Mix the bleach into the water with the stick. By the way you should use water proof dish gloves or any kind of gloves that will keep the bleach from off of your skin.
- You should place your jeans flat and evenly in the water. Do not put a wrinkled pair of jeans in the water. If you have to iron them flat to get the wrinkles out. This ensures a more even way of fading.
- After the jeans are placed in the bleach solution they should be rotated every 6 minutes for at least half an hour.
- After the half hour is up you can check the color. Remember that clothes appear to be darker than what they actually are when they’re wet. So try and get your jeans out 2 shades darker than the faded color your that you desire.
- Let out the bleach water then rinse your jeans in cold water for about 5 – 10 minutes.
- Then take your jeans to the washer and wash the bleach smell out of them.
- I would then recommend that you hang dry your faded jeans instead of drying them in the dryer. If you do decide to use the dryer then use it on a low setting. Keep in mind that bleach weakens fabric so this is why I recommend avoid using the dryer. The bleaching process might cause the fabric to split when placed in a hot dryer.
Well that is pretty much what needs to be done when you want to know how to fade jeans. Fading jeans is a simple process that helps to bring out an individuals style and look that’s best for them.
