The joy and bane of the clothing world is jeans: although this garment is one of the most versatile in the entire wardrobe, it proves difficult to treat during the washing phase.
A casual style icon, jeans can often develop stains that are hard to remove: let's discover how to remove stains from jeans by following the advice of Artigli, a leading brand in the women's fashion sector!
How to remove stubborn stains from jeans?
Before acting on a stain that could irreparably ruin our jeans, it is good practice to carefully read the label that accompanies the fabrics, which contains all the washing instructions. If in any doubt, it is always preferable to turn to your trusted dry cleaner. We must choose a detergent and a stain remover suitable for the type and color of the fabric. All stains must be pre-treated to ensure correct removal before proceeding to the washing and rinsing phase.
For colored jeans it is better to choose a detergent that allows us to preserve the denim's shade without fading it. On white or black jeans let's opt for a detergent targeted at enhancing these colors: a specific product for white garments and one specific for black garments.
Grass and blood prove to be tough enemies for denim fabric. In the case of a mud stain, the secret lies in waiting: let the stain dry before scraping off the solidified mud from the fabric, using a gentle tool like a spoon.
We pre-treat the stain left by grass and leaves, rubbing gently until all the biological substances remaining attached are eliminated. Then we move on to the washing machine and set the specific program for washing jeans.
For blood stains on jeans we must distinguish between fresh and dried stains. In the first case, let's get a clean white cloth and, after wetting it with cold water, dab the stain until it lifts.
Then we apply the stain remover and let it act for a few minutes before washing the jeans following the instructions on the label. In the case of dried stains, make sure to soak the stained jeans for a few hours before proceeding with the usual wash.
How to remove ink stains on jeans? First of all, dab the stain with a clean damp cloth, eliminating most of the ink. Let the stain dry before applying the stain remover and let the product act for about ten minutes.
At this point, using a clean cloth, dab the stain again: we must be careful to repeat this procedure until the stain has completely faded. Then we move on to washing in the machine, selecting a not very high temperature.
How to remove persistent stains from jeans?
On white jeans, stains can leave persistent rings: for this reason, it becomes important to choose a stain remover specifically for white garments and be prepared to repeat the washing operation if the procedure was not successful.
It is essential to proceed with removing the stain as soon as possible to prevent it from penetrating deep into the fabric. Bleach stains are particularly difficult because this product tends to discolor garments at the point of contact.
In some cases, it is possible to remedy the error made by applying the detergent to the stain and massaging the fabric gently until the product is completely absorbed. Leave it to act for a few minutes before washing the garment in the washing machine.
How to remove oil stains from jeans?
Grease and oil can ruin jeans permanently: to eliminate them, always pre-treat them with a fairly powerful stain remover before putting the garment in the washing machine.
The temperature of the wash cycle can also be low: oil stains are removed even at 30-40 °C.
Promptness is also fundamental in the case of wine stains on jeans: dab the affected area with a clean white cloth, trying to absorb as much liquid as possible. Once this operation is carried out, turn the jeans inside out and rinse the stain with cold water directly from the back, then turn the garment back around and apply the stain remover, leaving the product to act for a few minutes. Wash in the washing machine following the advice on the label.
Stains on jeans: mistakes not to make
When we set out to remedy a stain on jeans we must absolutely resist the initial temptation to immediately rub the stain with water, especially in the case of oil stains. In this case, the water can contribute to permanently fixing the oil onto the fabric, making its removal impossible.
We must never put jeans in the washing machine before having treated the stain in the right way: even in this case, the action of the water could irreparably damage the fabrics, nullifying the positive action of washing with detergent.
Let's not let much time pass before dealing with a stain: the various products penetrate deeper and deeper into the denim fabric as time goes by, making treatment more difficult.
