    Hey Babe! If you’ve seen my Fall Haul you know that I mentioned I wanted to lighten a pair of Levi’s jeans that I thrifted! It ended up being a SUPER quick tutorial so I hope it’s helpful and sorry for how abrupt/short it is, but bleaching denim really doesn’t take long at all. I wanted to make sure I included an exact amount of bleach to water ratio + an exact time that I left it in to get my exact results since it can be hard to know exactly when to pull the denim out for your desired color! Please don’t forget to LIKE this video if it was helpful and SUBSCRIBE to stay in touch with me! Have a wonderful day; so much love from me to you ♡ xx, Ellen.

    In case you didn't catch it:
    I forgot to mention please make sure to do this in a well ventilated area- I did it outside!
    1. bucket of warm 2 gallons of water and add 2 cups of regular bleach
    2. wait 20 minutes and add another cup of bleach
    3. wait 7 minutes and take the denim out
    4. wash and dry them like you would regularly! (don't forget to only put it in with whites though so you don't bleach your other clothes!)

    I don’t normally comment on stuff like this but this definitely worked!! I made sure to move the jeans around every five minutes to make sure the bleach got every on the jeans. I just took them out the washer and they look way lighter than before. Hope this helps someone

      Did any part of the Jeans streak or bleached lighter on some areas ..Im worried it will miss certain parts of the jeans in that bucket regardless of moving around :(

      @@runaway_36 No it was even around. I would just say make sure you have a big enough bucket to put the jeans in.

    I used this technique moments ago. I agitated the jeans for about 14 min with 3 cups of bleach. I also watched the Clorox tutorial that uses a small pan/bucket as well. With this technique you must agitate the jeans. I used the bath tub method before and still got blotches. This method works best for me. In the tub, if every part of the jean isn't submerged, you will have blotches.

    No matter what you do do not leave the jeans in the bleach, you have to keep agitating them! I left my jeans sitting for two long and they came out blotchy! Please don’t make the same mistake…😭

    How much did the red tag get faded? It was never really in focus during the video. And did it harm the leather tag at all?

    • @Salmon-fw6pk

      The leather tag would get a bit lighter, however if u don't want it changed u can try putting tape on it

    Yeah, well I just ruined a brand new $70 pair of jeans. Use the bathtub technique or the fade will look splotchy and uneven. I just don't have a bathtub. I KNEW using a bucket was a dumb idea, but this video made it seem like it would work fine. You need to stress to agitate it really often if you're forced to have to use a bucket.

      @dearangelle 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      yeah it does actually. i tried to bleach a pair of shoes because of some stains. it was made of some canvas sort of material (it was a pair of keds) and i did leave it submerged in bleach for quite a while. and i was left with shoes that had tears on it. i guess it would depend on the concentration of the bleach and the amount of time you leave it submerged. bleach is a very strong solution.
