Painted jeans - what to do?

It is inconceivable to imagine a wardrobe without fashionable and comfortable jeans, which by right can be called the most popular and popular clothing. Finally, the desired purchase is completed, you first put on a new thing, and after that you found that on your feet there were traces of black, gray or bluish color. Why do jeans "dye", and what to do, even if after the first wash nothing has changed? The fact that the cotton, from which the denim is made, is to be painted. The dye used here is not always completely absorbed by the fibers of the material. But there is nothing wrong with that. That jeans are not "painted", usually just one wash . In this case, do not worry about the fact that the new thing is losing its brightness. Water does not wash away the paint, but its excess. In rare cases, ordinary washing does not solve the problem. What if the new jeans and after the first wash strongly "painted"? There is an exit.

Solution

The easiest way to remove excess paint is to soak a thing in water at room temperature. You will see that in a few minutes after dipping the pants into the water, it acquires the appropriate color. But do not overdo it! Longer than half an hour to withstand jeans in water is not recommended, since denim may lose its density. After soaking, replace the tinted water with a clean, adding a little detergent and 5-6 tablespoons of regular salt (for every 10 liters). Wash jeans in this solution, rinse with clean water. The best option is to rinse the thing under the strong pressure of warm water with the help of a shower nozzle, spread out on the bottom of the tub. Do not forget to repeat this procedure several times, turning the jeans from one side to the other. If the water that drains from the jeans has become transparent, it's time to start the final rinse. Even if the jeans are no longer "painted", vinegar , added to the water for rinsing, does not hurt. It fixes the dye in the fibers. Add it at a rate of three tablespoons for every ten liters of water. Intensively rinse the pants in the solution is not necessary. It is enough to dip them several times in an aqueous solution, and then, without pressing, suspend. If you do this in the bathroom, we recommend that you put a basin under the trickles of water. This will help to protect the enamel coating of the bath from staining. By the way, this method of removing excess paint can also be used for washing things from other types of fabrics. Many women are confused by the fact that vinegar has a specific sharp smell, but it's not worth worrying about that it will "soak" jeans. Strongly smelling substances in vinegar very quickly evaporate, weathered, leaving no specific trail. If we consider that after washing, jeans will dry for several hours in the open air, then the probability of an unpleasant smell is reduced to zero.

Drying Features

Manufacturers who insist on hand washing, recommend to dry the jeans turned inside out, suspended for a belt. The thing is The fact that in this form the water flows from them evenly. If you throw them on a rope folded in half, then the intensity of the color may increase. In addition, on dry jeans you will find characteristic creases, to get rid of which is not easy even with the help of an iron.

I would like to refute the widespread myth that jeans that leave traces of paint on their skin are of poor quality. This is not true. Even the most expensive models, produced by legendary fashion houses and companies, are not immune from such "trouble". That's why manufacturers recommend always to wash new jeans before you first put them on.
