In order to our favorite jeans never rubs off again, there are two good ways to counteract this. The first is vinegar the solution.

This ensures that the color in the jeans is fixed in a natural way. Immediately afterwards you should throw the trousers in the washing machine so that the vinegar smell completely disappears. Alternatively, you can simply put a little vinegar in the washing powder compartment of the washing machine. This has the same effect and is the time-saving alternative. The same method works in a similar way with salt. To keep the jeans from "bleeding out" there is a drugstore special fixing salts. You put this in the compartment of the washing machine, in which you also put the normal washing powder. Then just wash as usual. The salt stores the color in the fabric and prevents it from staining.

You can simply throw this into the full machine and suck up the bleeding paint directly. This does not prevent the blue jeans from losing their color, but the other items of clothing are spared.
