- 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.

Honestly man this is probably the best youtube video i have ever seen, there's no unnecessary talking, very strait to the point and easy to follow instructions. Thanks and keep posting!
i knoowww right haha
I agree, I wish all TH-cam tutorials were like this!
B Valdez agree but did he say a ratio of bleach to water lol
Facts.
Also the dog
this man mastered youtube. straight to the point tutorial was easy to follow and no extra loud annoying music. +10 real 🥷🏾 points
OMG EXACTLY!!!!!!! Most youtubers spend 5 mins on their intro alone!!!
This how youtube used to be before there were "youtubers" everywhere. Back when youtube's slogan was "broadcast yourself", not 'let's turn youtube into a cheap copy of TV'.
I love how this is straight to the point🤪💞
Thank you 🙌😁
I was just about to write that , that totally earns a subscribe
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
@@alexandra5959 thats the ratio he says he used in the description
@@clarissakiehl4669 he might have meant 3:1
PLEASE clarify the ratio. Is it one part bleach to 3 parts water or vice versa?
@@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
Me too 💀💀💀 my jeans turned out yellow
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.
I have a jeans where only at the bottom is dark colored approx 2 inch in height........what should I do like how much quantity and washing should I do?? ...plz rply
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.
Oh shit
Good to know
Wish I read this before bleaching D:
Literally just ruined my jeans because of this

I like your accent
😊
eddinak no one knows what uu sound like so how would we know .
Hey Rachel ! I make digital art videos pls check it out and subscribe
Really doesn’t it go brown ?
wow I never knew it was this easy. Might try this because I like either really dark blue or light blue jeans and the ones I ordered are somewhere int he middle. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! I hope your project turns out well! Good luck with it :-) Cheers
May04bwu i have some dark blue (they were when i first bought them) 501s that ive been using for about 7 months now, but they are in the stage were theyre just getting lighter and i dont like them like that i will probably use this method, btw how did it go?
same i very much dislike jeans that are in the middle in shading, either go all the way or go home. If it is not raw denim or light wash i can not do it.
listen this might sound like a stupid question but is it ok if after i bleach the jeans i throw them in the wash with other clothes?? i'm just scared the jeans are gonna ruin the other clothes lol
No, I think it’s better not to wash it with other (colored) clothes, since the bleach can affect it. Thanks for your comment and questions are never stupid! 🙌
Absolutely do not do that. Put them through a small cycle on their own because they will continue to bleed blue right after. I’m addition to the fact they’ll still have bleach in them
Also, don’t forget the longer you leave something in bleach the week or the fabric will get so you don’t wanna leave any kind of fabric too long or else the bleach will eventually deteriorate fabric speaking from experience failure is your greatest teacher. Keep going awesome video :)
don’t know how you guys are getting a color change so fast. mine have been soaking for 2 hours and no change at all
It really depends on the “strength “ of the bleach. That’s why it’s best to experiment first
Same
Mine had to soak for like 6 hours but it turned out great in the end.
May the jeans be with you, thanks, greetings from Ireland
Bleach can be tricky and although it was a good, straight to the point video. You did not mention the dilution measurements. I just saw a shallow sink and you poured some bleach in. How much water to bleach ratio should we be using so that we don't over or under do it?
depends on how strong the bleach is if it's over 5% do 2:1 ratio
Thanks! I always like lighter jeans. I will try this on my dark jeans and see how it'll turn out!
It's been 3 long years. How it turns out tho?
please tell us
Hello everyone, I really recommend you using bathtub for this. I used small bucket and now my jeans mostly light but have few dark spots (still look cool btw)
I was looking at some bright Levi shorts and was put off by buying them because I have sooo many dark old jeans I could turn into shorts, really excited to try this out!
Did it work I just bought jeans in a darker couleur and idk what I was thinking I only have dark jeans and u can return them si pls tell did it work?
Love the new color tbh woah
Thank you! It’s nice you can decide the lightness depending on how long you let it sit in the bleach bath!
hey man if my denim have any type of painting, would this process affect the paint ??? or does it just affect the color of the denim part
I think bleach can affect the paint too. But not sure in your situation. If you have the possibility it would be best to test a small piece first. But I can imagine that’s impossible with the painted part. Good luck 🙌
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.
I'm sure it would if the painting doesn't have a protective coating on it
I mean, I will probably never do this to my jeans but I'm glad I know how it would be done.
Good point that the wet jeans look darker. I would have messed that up. I appreciate it.
I love your dog
😊🐶
how many ml of bleach did you used? is there a ratio?
omg ecco2k reference 0:17
This was such a good “how to.” Thank you so much.
I wish all TH-cam videos were like this! 👍
I'm trying this out on my fave jeans at the moment ill tell you the results later
Ok its been 30 mins and there still the same... I'll be right back in another 45ish mins
I was scared that they would turn out white so I took them out 10 mins later and left it to air dry
Thanks for sharing your findings 🙌
What Happened after?
@@abubakarhassan5399 burn't it all ! hahahah
Hey.. tks for sharing! I am doing the same with some jeans one because its too dark blue and the other because I am clumsy and let it fall coffee and wine on it and it never cleans so I hope it works... but I didnt put too much bleach like you... lets wait for the results 😁🙈
Omg this was so amazing. Straightttt to the point.
Thanks man. I washed my Levi's after your instructions.
Hey dude I wanted to know how much bleach you put, did you put all of the bottle of bleach, also how much water did you put ? Thank you !
I ain't gon lie you got this right g. 👍
Whats the bleach to water ratio?
I am having one problem that i had take it out my back pocket from the jeans and because of that the particular region has been darken and i want to match that colors to jeans so what should i do
best youtuber ever!!!
😊 Thank you 🙌
Your dog 💕😩
More specifics re how much water to bleach would be helpful.
I think 1 cup per gallon, but that's a guess. Excellent video...to the point!
Спасибо за простой и понятный туториал :)
Thank you for getting straight to it
Hey there, i did this for 3 hours. Is that ok? If i don’t like the color, should i do the process again?
If it’s not light enough you can continue the process! Keep in mind the jeans will look lighter when it’s dry.
Is it better to use low level bleach for longer or higher level bleach for a shorter time to reduce damage to the jeans? What if your jeans contain spandex, lycocell or other stretchy fabrics? Does the material affect the color result or stretchiness post bleach? Thanks!
Synthetic fibers go yellow not white. Do not bleach jeans not 100% cotton. And yes bleach slowly eats cotton. So make double sure they are rinsed and neutralized with vinegar water
Thanks this worked perfectly
If you folded it up in a certain way and secured it with rubber bands would you get lines and patterns?
Yes
I have onew question can you air dry the jeans or you use the dryer also did you use the full bottle or half
Reggie you can air dry it. And you don't have to have the exact measurement of bleach, if u think it's enough then go for it.
I have full black jeans but I don’t want to destroy them especially that they cost like £200
I don’t know how the result will turn out with black jeans. Be careful not to destroy your jeans if you’re still happy with it
what happens with black jeans?
how much bleach and how much water does it take? are there any doses?
One my favourite tutorial videos on the net. God damn 👍🏻
My indigo blue jeans sat in bleach overnight and lightened half a shade lol Bleach will literally not remove the color and I went them to be light 🥺
Try more bleach!
Indigos are individually dyed threads and if they are good ones they are treated to not run. Making bleach water affecting them highly unlikely. If you use enough to work though, they will turn beige/yellow on you
THANK YOU :) :) :) :) :) :) VERY HELPFUL AND PRACTICAL.
Thanks! Glad it helped you 🙌
Hello! Congrats on your awesome and detailed video! I just have a question. I have a jeans jacket with some patches on. If I make the steps you showed on the video, do you think that the patches will damage? If yes, what do you advise me to do?
You’d have to remove and reapply them
Same problem here, I have perfect jeans, but they are too dark. Gonna try, thx
I tried with a jacket, it was pretty dark, but I left it for 5h and then the next day other 7:30h and it didn't changed much... but it stinks soooooo bad! what to I do?!?! and the fabric is very dry and stiff... suggestions?
If your jacket was already dyed before hand It can't be dyed again I would just say continue to wash it to get the smell away and put fabric softener in your washer
What’s the bleach to water ratio
idk I did this with some Kirkland Jeans and they barely faded at ALL.. used Straight bleach,,, 2:1.. everything they would not lighten up much lol
How much bleach did you use?
I keep getting dark splotches on the back side but not the front, what am I doing wrong? Lay them out in tub totally flat I don’t get it
thats what happen to my denim skirt to, it has a dark patches in some area when i bleach it.
I’m sorry but I also don’t know what can cause that problem. Did you turn around your jeans now and then?
Bob Bee I did turn them often, I picked them up and rung them out then put back in the bleach. Maybe that’s where I went wrong? They were Levi’s too, so not cheap denim.
@@shelb3658 You are right ...ringing the jeans out then putting them back into the bleach does create on the jeans dark areas and patching. It's because ringing them out makes some areas on the jeans more densley soaked than other parts. It means that when you put the jeans back into the bleach after ringing them out the bleach will then soak slower into some parts of the jeans .
Thankyou very useful video for me
I was looking for this
thank youuu😭🙏
1:06 The dog has concerns about your process.
Should i put cold water or hot water?
Thanks
Why does the dog look concerned 😅 awesome video 😊
I did it but I got a lot of uneven spots what should I do?
Cordis Die ME TOOOOOO 😭😭😭
thanks bestie
i have a dickies carpenter pants with a red patch on the back and i am planning to bleach it, will it ruin the red patch? and how long did you let it sit?
you did a good job
Вода должна быть холодной ?
Nice vid ,,, this is what i looking for ,Very practical .....
Which effect has this on the fabric quality? My jeans has 99% cotton and 1% elastane. Will it fit differently after bleaching? Will the elastane go bad with it?
Bleach only eats cotton but synthetic fibers it turns yellow not white. So don’t do it on “stretch” jeans
Did the levi sign get ruined from the bleach
Did you find an answer?
@@rajgobarani6455I did, it didn’t get ruined. He mentioned it in a more recent comment saying it must be bleach / dye proof somehow
so the jeans u did took 5 hours to be that light? and if i went about 2 hours it would only be a little bit light?
I like your dog🐥😘💟
Soak the denim with water before immersing in bleach-water.
is the water cold or warm??
Thank You!!!! Thank you 🙏 I got the perfect 👌 gear ⚙️ I just need to change the color
Thanks! Good luck with your project 😃🙌
did anything happen to the levis logo??? thanks
Bump
yay something to do with all my way to dark jeans
Thanks for the simple video 👍
I have a question: I wanted to dye my jacket Lavender but for some reason the result came out as a bluish purple (yes the jacket was white before the dye). If I use this method would it just turn the jacket back to white or a lighter purple? (Like lavender)
I’m sorry but I can’t tell either. Maybe it’s possible to try a small non visible piece first? Good luck 👍
This video is amazing
Will this work with that lighter, stretchy and not so true denim material? Or do I risk ruining my jean jacket
Maybe it’s possible to try a little piece first? Like some fabric from a pocket or so?
Please don't do that because you'll ruin your stretchy denim. I have done it before and the result is awfull 😂
Do jeans lose strech if you put them in bleach??
I’m not sure if it looses stretch. My jeans got softer though
Bob Bee Thanks for responding
Ok, I did it, now how do I remove the bleach smell from my jeans?
hpw long do you leave the jeans in the water
So when u wash it after do you wash it like regular or put bleach in it ?
Daya !! pretty sure you just wash it regularly:)
I did this to a denim jacket, parts turned out the colour I wanted and other parts stayed dark, does anyone have any tips for removing the dark spots?
Fill a spray bottle with half bleach and half water. May jeans outside on ground and spray all over. It heavily in the darker areas. Keep an eye on the color changes til you are happy. Wash and dry.
What kind of bleach and hot, cold or warm water?
Great, i'm gonna try it!
how long did you leave the jeans in the bleach?
could i do this to overalls
Exact... to the point... 👏👏 keep it up
When you put it in the washing machine do you put with soap or without?
it’s without i think!
Just make sure they’re soaking wet and leave them in the sun, cut out about 4 hours
Anybody know why I’m getting darker blotches in some random areas?
Is that just normal cleaning bleach x
Does this work on black jeans?
what would happen if i used black ripped jeans
I didn’t try it, but I think your jeans will turn out grey and eventually white.
Bob Bee could they turn blue? or no
Do they have elastane in them?
No. Only do this on pure cotton
Is the water hot cold or warm
Can anyone suggest me the liquid he put 😅 I can't recognize it!!!
I used bleach. The one used for cleaning. Best is to do some tests first, because some bleach is stronger than others. Good luck ✌️😃
