New white denim jeans gone yellow.

I'd always suggest the sun but bleached yellow things never come right again

Napisan works but saying that I’m not sure after you have used bleach

White is the perfect basis for dying anything. I would go for a dark colour though as otherwise the stained patch may still be visible.

No need to throw them away if your latest experiment (posted yesterday at 18:35) doesn't work.

Alternatively you could embroider or applique a pretty flower over the spot.

Why not dye them they would probably make fantastic tie dye I love tie dye never fully goes out of fashion Much better than chucking them

It was my fault I didn’t read the label it stated clearly no bleach. I won’t be so silly next time. The next time it’s burning sun I will peg them out for two days. I’ve tried everything else. After that begrudgingly bin them as they are no use in a charity shop discoloured. I dislike waste.
Thank you everyone.

I had a favourite pair of white cotton shorts a few years ago which for some reason got bright pink patches on when I washed them( I think I may have had Sun tan lotion on them).
I washed them again in the sink then pegged them dripping on the line in full sunlight and they were restored to their former glory.
Good luck.

I would have a final go at a 30 degree wash with biological powder plus a big dose of that pink oxi powder might be Vanish ( sorry have forgotten the name). wash the jeans on their own, do the maximum number of rinses, take them out straight away after spin cycle and dry IN THE SHADE , then see if they are any better. ( I think the sun might enhance the yellow at this point).

If you do dye them, its likely that if the white is discoloured in patches then the dye will also be patchy, in your new colour.

its really annoying when this happens to something you like, isn't it?

Unfortunately that cup of bleach will have done it and nothing you can do about it remember doing just that to my sons shirt years ago and it came out creamy yellow or even yellowing cream
Dye them you can’t take them back or complain cos you did it
yourself Bleach will turn things yellow unless very diluted

Good grief boz you must be a very rich woman if you bin new things under £50!!! And I m not Scottish or Welsh

Don't know if it is worth mentioning, but could you try Napisan?
Someone I knew ages ago, always used it it her white washes, and everything was pristine.

I discovered by accident how brilliantly white the hot sun brought up my old sheets. It was so effective I washed all my white linen and hung it out during the last few blistering days. It all looks new!

Well said Poppyred....

Hydrogen peroxide plus washing up liquid plus baking soda - mix into a paste with water and apply with an old toothbrush .

Wait about half an hour .
Have a peek .
Leave for another 15 minutes then wash off .
Try again .
But if this doesn't work - I really don't know what will .

Bleach can interact with oxides in water and cause staining .

Some fabrics will yellow when bleach is applied .
If there's no warning on the label about bleach having an adverse effect - try demanding a refund !

This has happened to me .
If you do dye them - Dylon machine dye is great , but don't do what I did the first time - I put the item in dry . It has to be damp right through or the result will
be patchy .

Wishing you luck .

Yes, the stitching stays the same colour, but I like that.

I buy white jeans so that I can dye them different colours with the Dylon machine dye, which is fantastic. I love the teal, grey and denim blue dyes.

How do you get on with the stitching when you dye your white jeans.

I have used Dylon to dye light colours a dark colour but the stitching has stayed the same colour.

I suppose it will look OK on jeans as the stitching would look intentionally white. I didn't look great on a bra I dyed though!

Could you phone the supplier /shop and complain?
You might find your not the only one?
Shame though, especially when you thought you had the perfect pair.

Surely not if OP added bleach and washed them before wearing??

Try Ace gentle bleach, the white one, soak for 12 hours in Ace and cold water then wash with a whitening sheet.

Bleach stains white yellow.
I think you wil have a problem here.

Are they 100% cotton? If they are a mixture with synthetics, the bleach would cause yellowing and nothing will get it out in my experience.

I've dyed multiple pairs of white jeans because they were more cream than white. I now have an orange pair, a bright blue pair, a purple pair and two black pairs. As Poppyred said above Dylons machine dye is a life safer. Just pick your shade and even if it doesn't work, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

If MerylStreep’s advice doesn’t work, dye them. Dylon’s machine dye works very well.
