Against the natural reflex is to immediately use water to remove the stain. This is especially important if the stain is greasy. Oil is inherently hydrophobic, which means that pouring water on an oil stain can make the stain permanent and nearly impossible to remove [1] X Research Source .

Do not wash jeans before treating the stain. This is a common mistake that you need to avoid. Once exposed to water, the stain will be even more difficult to remove if the washing process cannot remove it.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c6/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ c/c6/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Lay your jeans on a surface you’re not afraid to get dirty. It’s important to find a place to spread the stained jeans. Make sure that the surface is dirty. Sometimes while removing a stain from a fabric, the fabric’s dye can come off and stick to whatever is placed underneath. You might consider taking a bath.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 4/42/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Find an old but clean rag or piece of cloth. Depending on how big or small the stain is, you’ll need to use some absorbent material. Old socks, old t-shirts, and/or kitchen towels can all be used, as long as they are clean. It’s best to use a rag or light-colored fabric, as the color of the rag can seep into the jeans you’re working on and become a disruptor.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3b/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 3/3b/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Find a medium-sized plastic pot. You may have to soak your jeans before washing them, and a plastic tub is a good choice for this purpose.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3b/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 3/3b/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Treat stains on jeans as soon as possible. The longer the stain, the harder it is to remove. While you can’t change into your jeans in the middle of a restaurant dinner, you should try to do it as soon as you get home [2] X Research Source .
Remove blood stains
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/59/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 5/59/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Mix a teaspoon of salt in a cup of cold water. If the blood stain is fresh, use soda water instead of cold water. Stir the mixture until the salt has dissolved.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f2/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ f/f2/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Dip the rag/cloth in the salt solution. Make sure to soak in salt water.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e2/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ e/e2/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Gently blot and wipe until the stain is gone. Try soaking first. If you don’t see any results, rub it on the stain. Alternately blot and rub until the stain is gone.
- You can also turn it inside out and remove the stain from the back of your jeans with cold soda water and salt.
- If that doesn’t work, try the next steps below.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cf/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ c/cf/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Pour 1 quart of cold water into a cup or bowl. Add 2 tablespoons table salt or an equivalent amount of ammonia. Stirred. If the blood stain is dry and not new, pour the salt/ammonia solution into a plastic basin and soak the stained part in the basin for about 30 minutes or overnight. You can check the stain from time to time to see how it is progressing [3] X Research Source .
- Do not use warm water as warm water will make the stain adhere rather than remove it.
- If the steps above do not remove the stain, try one of the following.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a5/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ a/a5/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Soak the stained part in cold water for about 1 minute. This method will work well for old or established stains. After soaking your jeans in cold water, squeeze out the water and put it in a plastic bag with 2 cups of lemon juice and half a cup of table salt. Soak the jeans for about 10 minutes, then let them dry. Once the pants are dry, put them in a normal washing machine [4] X Research Source .
- Note that lemon juice can lighten fabric colors. It’s best to use this method only with light or white jeans.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bf/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ b/bf/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Make a paste from the meat tenderizer. Thanks to its ability to break down proteins, meat tenderizer powder can be used as an effective blood bleach. Use 1/4 teaspoon meat tenderizer powder, add a little cold water and mix well into a paste. Apply the mixture to the blood stain. Wait about 15 minutes, then rinse the jeans. [5] X Research Source .
- You can buy meat tenderizer powder at grocery stores.
- If all of the above methods do not work, give the following last option a chance.

Use some hairspray. Hairspray can be an effective product to remove blood stains. Saturate the stain with hairspray and wait for about 5 minutes. Then use a damp rag to gently wipe the stain [6] X Research Source .
Clean grease stains
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/12/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 1/12/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use a dry paper towel to gently blot the stain. Especially if the stain is new, your first instinct will be to use water to clean the stain. However, as mentioned, water only makes the stain stronger because oil is inherently hydrophobic. In contrast, dry paper towels are effective in absorbing excess oil [7] X Research Source .
- This method is not enough to clean large and deep stains.
- Try the following steps if the paper towel can’t get all the oil out.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-15-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-15-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 9/9a/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-15-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-15-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Sprinkle talcum powder or baby powder over the grease stain. This method is effective on new and old stains. Chalk is absorbent and can clean most oil-based stains, especially if the stain is just oil. You simply sprinkle a lot of baby powder on the stain and let the chalk do its magic for as long as possible – up to a day, maybe. Then gently brush off the chalk (using a dry tissue or a toothbrush), and wash the jeans on the highest temperature recommended for use [8] X Research Source .
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/37/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-16-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-16-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 3/37/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-16-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-16-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use dishwashing liquid. Due to the high level of surfactants, dishwashing liquid is especially effective in removing grease stains. Dab a drop or two on the stain and add a little water. Use a rag/cloth to gently wipe until the stain disappears. Then put the jeans in the washing machine and wash them as usual [9] X Research Source .
- If you are busy, the next step below will be easier to do.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/38/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-17-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-17-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 3/38/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-17-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-17-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners work to remove grease stains. Just use a dry paper towel to dab some of this powder on the stain.
- Artificial sweeteners are especially helpful when you’re out and about.
- If none of the above methods work, continue to try the last option below.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1e/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-18-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 1/1e/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-18-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:346,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:547,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use white vinegar. Pour a small amount of undiluted white vinegar onto a paper towel. Dab onto stains right before washing jeans. This method is most effective when dealing with old stains [10] X Research Source .
Clean up stains caused by cosmetics
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d9/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-19-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-19-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ d/d9/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-19-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-19-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Stay away from water. Most cosmetics like lipstick or mascara are oil-based, which means water can make stains stickier and harder to remove.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bf/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-20-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-20-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ b/bf/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-20-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-20-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Gently brush the stain. Some cosmetics are not liquid, which means you can sometimes lightly brush to remove lipstick or mascara stains before the stain penetrates deeper into your jeans [11] X Research Source .
- If this is not enough to remove the stain, continue with the next steps below.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cd/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-21-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-21-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ c/cd/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-21-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-21-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use shaving cream. Shaving cream is especially effective with smudged foundation stains. Simply spray shaving cream on the stain and put your jeans in the washing machine.
- As an alternative to this step, you can consider using the next method.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2a/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-22-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-22-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 2/2a/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-22-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-22-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use hairspray. If you are dealing with lipstick stains, hairspray will be quite effective for removing smudges and dirt. Saturate the stain with hairspray and wait for about 15 minutes. Then blot with a damp rag or cloth until the stain is clean [12] X Research Source .
- If hairspray makes you uncomfortable or you can’t stand the smell of it, you can skip it and move on to the method below.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/21/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-23-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-23-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 2/21/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-23-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-23-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use dishwashing liquid. If you’re dealing with spots caused by tinted moisturizer or tanning spray, mix a mixture of warm water and a little dishwashing liquid in a cup. Dip the sponge into the mixture and gently blot the stain on the jeans until clean.
Remove sweat stains and yellow stains

Use vinegar. Make a mixture of two parts white vinegar and one part water (cold or warm). Pour mixture over stain and soak overnight, then wash as usual [13] X Research Source .
- Some people can’t stand the smell of vinegar. If so, skip this method and choose one of the following options.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bc/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-25-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-25-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ b/bc/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-25-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-25-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use baking soda. Make a paste with baking soda and warm water. Use just enough baking soda and water to make a paste. Next, use a toothbrush and rub the paste onto the stain. Gently scrub over and over, then let it sit for a few hours. Finally wash off the stain.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/45/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-26-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-26-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 4/45/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-26-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-26-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}

Use white wine. This may sound paradoxical, but white wine actually works to clean up red wine stains (they neutralize each other). Simply pour white wine over the stain just before washing. Then wash as usual.
- If this doesn’t work, try one of the steps below.

Use table salt. Sprinkle some salt on the stain and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Scrub the stain with a rag or cloth and rinse with cold water or cold soda water. Repeat the process until the stain is gone. Then wash [15] X Research source .

Use eggs. Egg yolks are especially effective at removing coffee stains. Mix one egg yolk with a few drops of rubbing alcohol and warm water. Use a sponge to apply the mixture to the coffee stain. Leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse it off. Wash jeans as usual [16] X Research Source .

Use soda water. Mix a teaspoon of salt and soda in a cup, then pour it directly over the stain. Soak overnight for best results.
- As mentioned above, avoid using any kind of water to treat grease stains.
- Soda and salt are especially effective for coffee stains.

It is advisable to deal with dirt caused by dirt in a very simple way. Turn the jeans inside out, remove the stain from the left side. Just use a rag/cloth soaked in warm water until the stain disappears [17] X Research Source .
- If this step isn’t enough to dissolve the stain, try one or more of the following.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9c/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-33-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-33-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 9/9c/Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans-Step-33-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Remove-a-Stain-from-a-Pair-of-Jeans- Step-33-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Use shampoo. For old and stubborn stains, you need to put the jeans in a plastic basin filled with warm water. Pour some shampoo on the sponge and scrub the stain vigorously while soaking. Repeat until the stain is clean.

Add vinegar to your normal laundry detergent. Pour a cup of white vinegar into the laundry detergent and run the washing machine. White vinegar has the same effect as bleach, but is milder.
- Note: This tip only applies to white jeans.

Gently brush the dirt with a toothbrush. If the stain is fresh, and most importantly, not liquid, you can gently brush the dirt off the denim. However, you need to be careful, because strong brushing can cause stains to stick to the jeans fabric.
