Disguising White Marks On Jeans

Sometimes when you scrub at stains on your jeans, you end up with a white spot, which can be even worse! To mask those white spots if you have lighter blue jeans, you can use a grey water-based marker. Grey just matches the color of jeans better than most blues. Apply the marker messily to the white spot, and then blot with water. Re-apply several times until it matches the rest of the fabric. (If you don't have a grey marker, you can also try grey eye shadow!)

A friend's sister got a spot of bleach on an expensive sweater. Resourceful friend embroidered a pretty little daisy with a winding stem and leaves over the bleach spot. It actually enhanced the sweater.

If its a pair of black jeans use a permanent black marker or fabric paint will do the job.

Or, simply avoid the marks by scrubbing stains on the wrong side, and washing the pants inside out.

If you do not want to dye them. Look for a crayon in that color, of course you will have to do this every time you wear them as long as it is not a huge white mark this should work. Good Luck
