I usually wash different colored jeans separately, but didn't this time. I washed a new pair of black jeans with bleach-washed blue jeans and now the blue jeans have black dye on them everywhere. Anyone have any great tricks to remove the black dye from the blue jeans? I am trying hard to save them. Thanks.

I've heard that soaking the affected garment in cool water with OxiClean for 8 hours (before re-laundering) can help remove the transferred dye stain.
Thank you! Ill give it try.
Hopefully you have not put the affected jeans in the dryer - if you have - it may take longer to clear up the stains - or maybe never..
Sometimes you can help a few stains with Pghgirl's solution from another question (I tried it and it worked).
If there are stains all over I have mixed blue Dawn with a little Oxiclean in warm to hot water in the smallest wash setting and left it to soak overnight. Just use 1/4 cup or less of Dawn and a tablespoon or so of Oxiclean; turn on machine to mix and soak overnight; then wash as usual.
Do not place in dryer - dry outside if possible but air dry.
Check for stains - you may have to treat your jeans twice no matter what treatment you use.
