How Can I Get White Streaks Out of Black Jeans?
- 1). Check the creases of your jeans for powder, or scratch one of the white streaks on your black jeans with a fingernail.
- 2). Rinse your jeans if you found obvious signs of laundry powder or mineral deposits or if you were able to scratch away some of a streak with your nail. After you rinse your jeans, turn them inside out and dry on low heat, or line-dry, to prevent fading.
- 3). Dye the jeans if you suspect that the streaks came from fading. The exact method to dye depends entirely on the jeans-approved black dye product that you purchase. Typically, this involves soaking the jeans in a sink or bucket filled with a solution of water and dye.
- 4). Hire a water specialist to add water softeners or add 1/2 tsp. of salt to wash water before washing your jeans to help dissolve hard water deposits.
- 5). Turn the jeans inside out before washing to prevent the dark exterior of your jeans from rubbing and wearing when swishing around in the washer.
