How to Do a Bleach Wash on Levis

Levis are a well-known brand of denim blue jeans. For many years, the name Levis was interchangeable with jeans. But today, with so many brands of jeans sold, this is no longer the case. Still, Levis remain popular, although some people want to customize their blue jeans. Bleaching jeans is one way to fade them and give them a new look. Using bleach and water, a person can give his Levis a personalized appearance.

Instructions

    • 1

      Fill a sink with about an inch of cold water. Add ¼ cup of bleach to the water.

    • 2

      Put on rubber gloves to push the Levi jeans into the water. The water level is low so you can’t submerge all the jeans. Wait 10 minutes for the bleach to fade the jeans.

    • 3

      Reposition the Levis so different parts of the jeans are in the bleach solution. Wait 10 minutes.

    • 4

      Place towels in direct sunlight. The sunlight dries clothes and also offers a bleaching effect.

    • 5

      Remove the Levis from the bleach solution.

      Spread the wet Levis on the towels and let the jeans dry.
