I've got a few pairs of decent black jeans (Stone Island) that are starting to lose their colour on the edges but I don't want to chuck them as the OH says they make my bum look gorgeous.

Does anyone have any experience of redyeing black kit in the washing machine? Is it a palaver? Does it work? Does it wreck the machine? Will all my washing come out in varying shades of black to grey henceforth? Should I just buy some new jeans?

Thank you, boys and girls.....

I used to buy a new pair then wash them with the old pair for the first wash so any dye that comes out (hopefully) goes into the old pair!

Thank you! But do you have to run the machine 100 times to get it clean afterwards?

I do a couple of all black washes after, then one boil wash..... its always fine, if you do it remember to give the rubber door seal a good old wipe around.......... I have never had any trouble..... wear mariglods!

To be honest if you can buy the jeans again..... buy them!...... my favourite t-shirt cant be found anywhere new now so I lovingly restore it!

stores like asda, sainsburys, tesco sell dylon dyes for use in the washing machine.....i suggest 2 packets for 3 or more pairs of jeans.....no salt required either.....

after dying jeans etc re-wash items using woolite for dark clothes on a 30 degree wash cycle....

wipe door seal after use and avoid getting dye powder on your skin....

i use dylon black on my shirts , jeans etc..makes them look like new..its also available in dark blue too
