    also, for people who don't like the bleach smell that won't go away after they bleach their denim: soak it in peroxide. it neutralizes the smell for the most part and is super cheap. =)

      It's 1 cup of peroxide with 1 gallon of water. Then let it soak for at least 20 minutes. It'll neutralize the bleaching process, not just the smell.

    Hey! I know this is from a long time ago but i just wanted to say thank you 🥺🥺 this worked like a charm! I accidentally bought a dark denim from online and i bleached and followed all the instructions here in this vid and my jacket came out perfect. Thank you will def do some jeans next time ❤️✨
    For anyone who wonders: i used oxygen based bleach so its not that strong and i only left it on the bucket for an hour, the measurement i use for the bleach was just two small cups in a bucketful of warm water, good luck! 🥰🥰

The darker jacket was like 80 percent off (I got it for about 25 bucks) compared to the same jacket that was lighter that was not on sale and was about 150 dollars. If this works it would have saved me a grip of money! Thanks!

      fill your bathtub with around 5 inches of water and then like 3-4 cups of bleach, dampen the jeans first with cold water and then lay them as straight as possible in the bathtub, check after 30 minutes if it's the color you wanted and if not leave it for longer, don't leave it for more than 8 hours, if after 8 hours it's not where you want it to be take it out, wash it without detergent and try again the next day

      @shelbymoore6956 7 лет назад +1

      Claire McMichael To get the blue dye out, you have to bleach it and any underlying tones out. It seems like your denim had pink and orange tones in it under the blue. I'd go in with a spray bottle that's half bleach and half water and spot bleach the pink and orange discoloration, leave it on for like 20-40 minutes, and then wash it.

      wash it with a blue cooler two times, it'll get white, think of it as hair, when u bleach it and the undertone gets yellow, you look around for neutralizers
