How do I turn my black jeans into white ? Or is that possible ?

[DenimDoctor]

@rednerds it is very difficult since most black jeans are sulfer based and they ussualy use the bad dies that wern't accepted by other customers. So By adding a lot of clorine you may end up with beige or even pink pants, let me know since you may get a nice grey that you will be happy about.

how do I bleach my pants from red to orange?

[DenimDoctor]

@kingdomheartsximena Hi, maybe you have already bleached jeans and they turned sort dark pink and need to see orange, maybe maybe not. On the other hand if you have red pants and want them to become orange, I could only sugest the following:

Buy some enzime tide, it is anti-coton-balls soap, bring temperature all the way up to the hottest you have and then add 1/2 cup of soap, a little softener and the pants and as and added bonus none chlorine bleach.

Good luck

how do i stop my dark blue jaens from turning yellow

[DenimDoctor]

@msdarkbrown Hi, I am sure you are bleaching them at a temperature much to hot. If you want to bleach raw or dark jeans, a couple of steps to take, must wash jeans with a lot of soap at very, very high temperature. around 120F or 50 celdius, then rinse with cold water. once they are wet and soft, remove jeans. Then add water level to medium at 95F or 40 Celcius, add half cup of Baking soda, then add 2 cups of bleach, being carefull to mix with water, then add jeans, rinse with a cup of vinegar

@therockkkkher First you quite right about answering me since I do have a few accounts on youtube and NAFtv is another one of my accounts.

As for your question, sand blasting is possible if you have the compressor, right now I suggest you use regular ciment sand for maconery, fairly fine sand but not round like beach sand. The plastic beads are more for stone washing or when you use small plastic beads for sand blast it isn't for jeans but rather for blouses. tom@hkjeans.com

@NorthAmericanFreetv well, ive heard they sandblast them now a days but but do you know what exact material they sandblast them with (what type of sand or plastic beads or something else ?) ???

[NorthAmericanFreetv]

@therockkkkher hi, for starters I want to thank you for your comment. Your jeans are most certainly sulfer die.

This is a little delicate, no bleach, you could use Permanganits and metabulsulphite but where would you get that. If you are close to Jeans washing facility it could be possible, on the other hand, sand paper (please roll sand paper in sponge material) and elbow grease could do the thing, only it will look used but the white will not come out.
