My hands were blue just from wearing them. Even after washing them, the dye wouldn't come off and after wearing them, my thighs had a bluish tint.. Since, i have avoided super dark jeans... I have yet to find some that don't bleed! I love the look of dark jeans though.</p> <p>I'll be following to see if there is anything to do about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-prevent-dark-jeans-from-bleeding-dye#post-1713068 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 16:54:09 +0000 brownie 1713068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Washing has worked for me but have you tried those dye catcher things? Do you dry them in the dryer or hang them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-prevent-dark-jeans-from-bleeding-dye#post-1713056 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 16:48:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 1713056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just got a new pair of dark jeans. Is there something I can do to keep them from leaving dye all over everything he sits on?? I have a pair that I wear, I washed them by themselves a couple times before wearing them, but they still left due on things. </p> <p>Is there something you've done that works? </p>
