The process of cleaning jeans from dye
Adults and children can stain clothes with paint; you don’t have to work on a construction site or in production to do this.
When a stain is placed on a T-shirt, shirt or small accessory (for example, a hat, gloves), then due to the remaining traces of contamination, the product can be thrown away or used on rags. But if a paint stain stains expensive jeans made of thick material, then you will have to arm yourself with various cleaning methods.
How to remove paint from a bench on jeans
With the arrival of warm weather and until the first frost, utility organizations work for the benefit of society, so painted benches near houses, shops, and government agencies are a common occurrence.
If trouble happens and the jeans are “embellished” with colorful stripes of alkyd enamel, you need to use one of the following methods:
- Butter mix with powdered washing powder in equal proportions, apply to the soiled area, previously moistened with water.Then thoroughly rub the stain until it disappears and wash the product in warm water.
- Refined gasoline. Before starting the procedure, you need to protect your hands with rubber gloves and your respiratory system with a gauze bandage. Place a clean rag or 3-5 paper towels under the stained area on the underside of the trousers. Then moisten a cotton swab with gasoline and soak the denim fabric with it, as if pressing it into the fabric, leave for 5-7 minutes. After removing the remaining paint with a cotton swab and gasoline, wash the dirty area in warm water.
- Unix-Clean Z-Active – a professional stain remover used in dry cleaners. First dilute the product with water in a ratio of 1:10, carefully apply to the stained area with a cotton swab, leave for 5-7 minutes, then wipe off the residue with a damp cloth or napkin.
Important! Before you start cleaning, you need to test the fabric. To do this, you need to apply the product to the area that is most noticeable when worn (for example, the inside of the belt).
Removing oil paint stains
Polymer paints that are used for repairs (except for water-based paints) are difficult to clean from fabrics. But thanks to modern means, this can be done quickly and without harm to the material. First way – thinner Solvent, White Spirit. In one of the substances, you need to blot a clean white rag and rub the dirt with it, then wash the product in warm water with washing powder.
Second method – use of stain remover, which is sold in household chemical stores. It could be Vanish, Sarma, Bos Plus. The liquid stain remover should be immediately applied to the stained area, and the dry stain remover should first be mixed with water until a thick paste forms.To obtain a cleansing effect, the product should be left for 15-40 minutes, then thoroughly rub the area and wash the jeans.
How to remove traces of water-based and acrylic paints on denim trousers
Water-based paint is the easiest to wash off fabrics. To remove a stain, you need to thoroughly wet the product, then apply a stain remover for colored fabrics (Vanish, Parus, Sarma), covering all the stain and 2 cm beyond it. Then leave the substance for 15 minutes, then rinse the item under running cold water and wash it in the normal washing machine mode.
Reference! If you don't have a stain remover on hand, you can use rubbing alcohol. To clean, you need to soak a washcloth in alcohol, wipe off traces of water emulsion with it, and then wash the jeans.
Acrylic paint is best removed from denim by mechanical means. You should try to carefully wash fresh marks with a damp cloth, and scrape off the dried stain with a metal nail file, a butter knife, or a clothes brush with plastic bristles. After removing the top layer, in order to 100% get rid of traces of acrylic, you need to wipe the area with isopropyl alcohol and finally wash the product.
How to remove hair dye from jeans
Fresh hair dye stains can be removed with cold running water. Dried paint is removed using hairspray: the spray is generously sprayed on the stained area, after which the item is washed in an automatic machine. If the paint is deeply ingrained into the jeans, you can use hydrogen peroxide: pour the stained area with peroxide and leave for 30 minutes. If the paint disappears from the fabric, then you need to wash the trousers, and if not, then repeat the procedure.
How to remove fresh and dried paint from jeans
Fresh paint can be easily removed from denim trousers using solvents and nail polish remover. If the paint stain is fresh, sunflower or olive oil will help. The liquid should be generously applied to the stain, left for 25-35 minutes, then remove any remaining oil and paint with a thick, damp cloth (not alcohol-based).
Gasoline solvent “Galosh” (“Galosh”) is extremely popular among housewives., which is used in the rubber industry. It effectively cleans areas stained with oil paint that have dried out. Before starting to work with the solvent, you must put on rubber gloves, then generously moisten the gauze or bandage in the substance and apply it to the stain. 5 minutes after application, take a brush with hard plastic bristles and carefully remove any remaining dry paint, then repeat the procedure.

If the stain has disappeared, then you just need to wash the product, and if not, then first wash it with laundry soap.
Another way – rub the stain with brine from sauerkraut from cucumbers, after mixing the liquid with water (1:1). To achieve a good effect, you need to wait until the brine is absorbed into the fabric, then start rubbing the trousers until all traces of grass disappear.Baking soda works great for removing herbal stains on denim, mix it with water until a paste forms, and then apply it to the stained area. After 10–15 minutes, rub the area with a toothbrush, and then wash the product.

How to get rid of the unpleasant smell of jeans
Often, after removing stains with chemicals or immediately after purchase, jeans emit an unpleasant odor. You can try to remove the smell, but this takes a long time and is not always effective. There are several ways to improve the situation.
After washing off the paint
If after washing your jeans smell unpleasantly like paint or solvent, you can use the following products:
- Eau de parfum or eau de toilette.
- Fabric softener.
- Vinegar.
You can treat the product with perfumed or eau de toilette after washing before ironing, after diluting the aromatic liquid with water. If the aroma of the paint is not overwhelmed by the perfume, then you need to try rinsing with the addition of fabric softener or vinegar. It is best to first rinse the trousers in vinegar water (100 ml of vinegar per 10 liters of water), and then wash the jeans in the washing machine with the addition of conditioner (rinse aid).
After the purchase
The best way to kill any unpleasant odor is coffee. In order for newly purchased denim trousers to stop emitting a chemical aroma, you need to generously sprinkle them with ground coffee (inside and outside, don’t forget about the pockets), put them in a plastic bag, seal them tightly and leave them for 24 hours. Then remove the remaining coffee and wash the item.
How to protect your product from paint and grass stains
In order not to ruin your favorite denim trousers, you need, first of all, to be careful: before sitting on a bench, check it with your hand for stickiness, and while relaxing in nature, cover the grass with a blanket and not sit on the ground.
It is also necessary to try not to come into contact with painted surfaces (fence, walls). People involved in repair work should wear old or work clothes over or instead of jeans - overalls, sweatpants.
Conclusion
A competently and carefully carried out procedure for cleaning jeans from dye will help maintain the ideal appearance of the product for a long time. You need to select a product after studying the composition of the fabric. Before starting the procedure, we must not forget to check the fabric for resistance to color fading. Also, do not forget that stains can be removed by dry cleaning.
