How do I remove a chemical odor from jeans?
I have a pair of black jeans with a strong chemical odor; I have washed them in vinegar, borax and soda. The jeans are going to be worn out before I can stand to wear them. Any suggestions?

How do I remove salt stains from bottom of jeans
Traipsing around in the snow I got salt stains on the bottom of my jeans. I wet them and scrubbed with a brush but when they dried there was still some stains there.
Place them in a large plastic bin and cover with scoopable kitty litter (clean litter - haha).... kitty litter is designed to remove odors. Leave the jeans in the bin for at least one day. Shake all litter off and launder using liquid fabric softener to remove any trace of litter. Should work really well.
Nancy,. Wash in hot water, with Lestoil, about 1/4 cup in about 4 quarts of water in the washer. Spin out, smell it see if most of the smell is gone, then wash with your regular laundry liquid. Repeat. Don't use fabric softener. Don't dry in dryer, let it hang dry. This should work, I got cat urine out of clothes, and that really smells. Aloha!
They shouldn't shrink unless you dry them. Iron them. Aloha!
Wash them again in the vinegar and warm water and lay out in the sun to dry.
