I tossed the jeans into the washer with the dye, some salt, and about a cup of vinegar.

Swishy Swishy!

I left the jeans in the dye bath for about an hour.  I really wanted a nice, saturated color.

Diggin' the color!

Do you have stained and/or dingy white clothing?  Have you thought about dyeing it to see what happens?

Cheers!
