Fill a bucket with cold water and add a cup of white vinegar. Turn your jeans inside out, and submerge them in the bucket for at least an hour, up to overnight. After soaking, place the item in your washing machine. Add either a cup of vinegar, or the recommended amount of a detergent formulated for dark clothing
Patriciab5353 has your answer . . . It works! Vinegar works for so many things.
Vinegar won't work to set the dye in denim, but salt does. Actually, any time you're concerned about bleeding colors, throw a cup of salt in the wash. I still dump some vinegar in every load, instead of fabric softener.
I was going to suggest a cup of salt as well to set the dye!
Use regular table salt ...add a cup of salt to a tub of water, and soak the jeans for a couple of hours, then wash as usual.
