Question

How do I remove dye marker from jeans?

Community Answer

Try De-Solv-it. It's citrus based and is safe for both you and your clothes. Nail polish remover may work, but it also may remove the color of the jeans (much like bleach would).

Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

Question

Other clothes' colors bled onto my yellow jeans. How can I remove the staining?

Use baking soda and water or rubbing alcohol(for more effective results.) Then rub it together on the stain until the stain is less visible or less bold. Then throw it in the wash with the other clothes.

Question

What if I washed my jeans, and the stain is still there?

Community Answer

There are stain remover sprays you can buy from the store that should get the stain out even if the jeans have already been washed. You could also soak them in some Oxy for a day or two and try washing them again.

How do I remove spray foam insulation from jeans?

Community Answer

Apply some vinegar and baking soda and scrub hard. Then cover the area with laundry detergent and leave it overnight. Then rinse. If the stain is still there, it's probably not coming out.
