How to Get a Red Stain Out of Stonewashed Jeans

Dark stains are difficult to remove from clothing, especially if you don't know the type of stain you're dealing with. Fortunately, stains on stonewashed jeans are less noticeable thanks to the mottled look of the fabric. Stonewashed jeans are also a light color, and contain some white sections. If the stain is particularly stubborn, you can salvage the jeans by blotting the stain with bleach. If you're careful, the bleached sections will blend in with the rest of the fabric.
