I'd like to turn this discussion on it's head and ask... How do I make my black jeans fade to grey? I know there's the obvious suggestions, like consistent washing, but does anyone have any tips to get this done in a speedier fashion?

I just did that to a bright blue print blouse and it worked very well for me..

I have numerous pairs of black jeans and black shirts/jackets that I've managed to keep from graying just being a little careful when washing. I've redyed several items but the dyes wash out much faster than the mfg's original and the hot water requirement makes some items shrink too much.

ALSO, WHEN WASHING THE DYED ARTICLES IN THE FUTURE USE COLD WATER ONLY AND DO NOT WASH THE DYED ARTICLES WITH OTHER CLOTHING FOR SEVERAL WASHES AS THE COLOR WILL FADE ONTO OTHER CLOTHING - THIS WILL BRIGHTEN THEM UP AGAIN - GOOD LUCK Report Spam or Abuse RE: Putting Color Back Into Black Garments Post by homeschoolin_mum (90) | (01/12/2005) Profile | Contact RIT dye works FAB!!!! Don't forget to turn your black clothes inside out when washing as well! Report Spam or Abuse
