sodium hypochlorite, also known as household bleach, is one of the unspoken treasures around the home. if you are interesting in the full details, you can refer to my dear old friend, WIkipedia!
but i must say that, if you have old jeans / denim that you don't wear anymore and are at a loss with them, reach for the bleach... i recall years ago when i was bored and i took a pair of old jeans... laid it on the bathroom floor and pour bleach over it... yes, you would get a new design and print but it was also like a wildfire that could not be stopped...
so in case, you are inspired by me to bleach all your jeans or clothes... couple of points to note...
1) bleach is a liquid... clothes absorb liquid... so the second time round, i wet the jeans to control the amount of bleach that the jeans take in...
2) use tools... an old toothbrush, a piece of twine, straws... the word is CONTROL... if you want your ideas to be translated on the material, go slow...
3) after you bleach your clothes, soak them, wash them (separately from your other clothes, of course), use softener... the smell will linger... you want the focus to be on your clothes, not how you smell like bleach...
anyway, here's more help...
have fun with your bleaching adventure... BAM!
