Achieve the look of well-worn, faded jeans by bleaching them with chlorine bleach. If your jeans are very dark or raw denim, you can bleach them to almost white. Although chlorine bleaching can leave some spots lighter than others, those who favor an acid wash or unevenly faded look can achieve it at home. Unlike oxygen or color-safe bleaches, chlorine bleach fades jeans dramatically and rapidly.
Fill the bathtub with approximately 4 inches of lukewarm water.
Put on the gloves. Empty the bottle of bleach into the tub. Swish the water with your gloved hands to mix in the bleach.
Soak your jeans in a separate sink.
