Substitute for Fast Fade - A Recipe to Fade Dark Denim Jeans

RE: Substitute for Fast Fade - A Recipe to Fade Dark Denim Jeans Post By Debb (Guest Post) (09/23/2008) I'm not sure if this will work, but my friend told me that if you put zero calorie soda all over your jeans, then put it straight to the washing machine alone. Then air dry the jeans.don't use the dryer. NOTE: I never tried it, so I'm not 100% sure if this will work.

Sometimes when I use the color remover, the fabric will just come out almost removed. Would 1/2 the packet work?

Report Spam or Abuse how to fade a denim jeans Post By Naseer Ahmad (Guest Post) (12/19/2007) I have a small denim jeans manufacturing industry. Faded jeans is the in thing but I tried Bleach which does not work on most bull denim. Can someone give me an idea of how I can fade jeans commercially? Thank you.

I use a face cloth to fade patterns on my pants. I'm trying to find sometime that fade faster.

Use it in a tube or bucket so that you can reuse it if needed. Hope you like it.

I wear jeans all the time and if you wash them every day for a week, on a long cycle, they will fade all over. You can see how much they have faded if you compare the outside color with the inside of one of the pockets. If you want them softer - soak in a very strong solution of fabric softener overnight and then wash as usual. The salt helps with softening too.

It's hard on the fabric, which is why a thicker denim is advisable; I did my first bleach fading on a pair of Arizona's on clearance for 6.75. Thirty dollar Jeans for 6.75, so I wasn't too worried about ruining them. I soak my jeans in the bath tub with bleach and water. I'm going to try a few patterns (I bought five pairs of the 6.75 jeans), like you'd do with tie dye, by "painting" on a bleach and water mix.

It worked perfectly on my son's jeans, just the right color. Wonder why it is discontinued? I have tried bleach, but the color isn't as good, and it probably is hard on the fabric.

Once upon a tight economy time-- the dye of the garmet was removed and then re-dyed. I would take my time-read the directions well- dunk the garmet into the remover-- swish it around, wring it out, rinse it out-- keeping the remover in it's bucket-- then dry the item-- check for color-- and repeat as needed. After you've got the right color-- you'll need to wash the item by itself-- in case you still have color "bleeding"-- good luck Report Spam or Abuse RE: Substitute for Fast Fade - A Recipe to Fade Dark Denim Jeans Post By Gepe (Guest Post) (09/14/2006) I tried doing this with bleach................i washed the jeans first not using any fabric softner.Then I added a 1/2 C. of bleach to the washer on a short cycle, it faded them.After this I re-washed them in just a small amount of soap and used fabric softner.This is probely tough on the fabric abit, it DID FADE THEM.If anyone knows another way please answer as I too would like to know.............
