a question about my black jeans (a stain)

Don't know what Shout is, but will it really be necessary to treat it first? just wash normally is my write in vote.

dunno, black jeans seems like one of these things we could do without

c'mon

^^^he's talkin 2 U

a life without black jeans is not worth living

Leave the hell alone.

How can we answer this question when you haven't told us what kind of soup?

"chicken tomato orzo"

If you're feeling that nervous about it, dab the area with a mild detergent solution, maybe some watered-down Woolite, just to cut the grease that might attract dirt in the future. You don't have to worry about how it looks, just lightly sponge the grease off the fibers.

a life without black jeans is not worth living

All the jeans I own are black. I don't fuck with blue jeans at all, not since that silly "stonewash oh here's a pocketful of pummice stone in ur new jeans" sillyness. Anyway, I say "2) leave it alone". It's only soup, any residue will come out next time they're washed.

If you can't get the stain out, throw them in the wash with a tiny amount of bleach. Then you will have cool ass beat up jeans. Too bad your favorite black jeans are stained, c'est la vie. I hope you're not too poor to get another pair. Oxyclean is really good for removing stains, though, give it a shot.

so laurel, you're saying i could water down some woolite, apply with cloth and pat dry?

I don't think it's necessary, but Woolite seems safest for the color if you're not comfortable knowing that you're saving some soup for later on your knee. I am no Steve Shasta about denim, though. I wash it about once a month when it starts to smell, and I put it in the *GASP* dryer, too.

On the subject of black jeans I am still mad that Target no longer sells the 'Bowie Collection'; the black jeans were awesome, slim but not ridic slim. Should have bought more than 2 pair.

where is shasta when i need him?

i seriously am unable to keep a garment clean for more than a week

I think this is true of everyone. Clothes get dirty when you wear them.

fucked up

Especially when you own 4 birds

i love birds, but i could not own 4 of them

the sheer racket alone. . .

You have to keep a number of spare bedsheets at hand to throw over their cages at a moment's notice when they start freakin' out. But of course I was referring to the shitting.

A bird in the hand is worth four on the jeans...

what kind of fabric/finish? rinsed? yarn-dyed? raw?

need more info pls

also, lol @ "soup"...

surrrrrre ;-)

omg it was!

i don't know dude, they're just black levis 511 skinny

"black stretch"

you're judging me, aren't you

can u:

(a) u/l a macro pic of the fabric OR
(b) find the 9 digit UPC code (xx511-xxxx) and enter it in this space below:
_ _ 5 1 1 - _ _ _ _

"99% cotton 1% spandex" - just wash 'em, should be fine

(and that's according to "eck" the "one stop shop for punk clothing" urgh)

shasta, you're making fun of me

this is the link to the jeans http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3634460&cp=3146842.3146844.3146854.3691990.3378777

i don't know about no upc

(it's printed on the care label for future ref)

ok, a simple spot clean of cold water should do the trick (colder the better). use a little mild detergent if the "soup" is stubborn.

ok great thx
