Softening Stiff Blue Jeans

RE: Softening Stiff Blue Jeans Post by dragonfly101 (1) | (07/06/2008) Contact Wash them with Coke. The really stiff ones that are dark blue will soften up nicely. Fill the washing machine with water pour in a can of Coke agitate it to mix it up, then throw in your jeans. I have even used diet coke and it worked( it's all I had).

Rinse the next day. Works well Allan.

One time I bought a pair if Levis that had a pumice stone that had been left in the pocket (apparently from when they were 'stone' washed). I guess this is how they are softened commercially, but I sure wouldn't try it in my dryer at home.

Put the jeans in the washing machine by themselves. Use the smallest size load. Put the water into the machine on the wash cycle, then add about a cup of liquid fabric softner. (no soap) Let the machine agitate. When that cycle stops, before the water drains out, move your machine control back and repeat the agitating cycle. Do this three or four times. Then allow the jeans to stay in the machine as it completes its wash.

It still would take a good few washes before they were really softened though. Report Spam or Abuse
