With jeans, don't baby them too much. Just throw them in the washer. Never heard of cleaning your jeans with q-tips.
If curried mutton or jerk hot wing sauce splashes/flicks on to your light wash Balmain denim, leaving small dotted yellow/brown but very visible and unsightly stains/marks, you will want to take care in the removal of the stains, as to not ruin an expensive, nice pair of jeans. I suggest..
Getting a strong safe, stain remover, a pack of Q tips and a small container.
Start by filling the container with a small amount of hot (not boiling) water, then proceed to mix/dilute the appropriate amount of stain remover with the water. (I prefer a strong solution)
Proceed to then soak a Q tip in the mixture, then begin to gently apply/rub the areas of denim effected by the dirt/stains with the Q tip, moving in the same direction as the fabric, when you can see that the Q tip has absorbed as much of the dirt/stains as possible and is now dirty, dispose of it and move onto the next clean Q tip, once you have gone through enough Q tips and you feel as though you have removed as much of the dirt/stains as possible, leave the denim to dry, once dried inspect the treated areas for any remaining dirt/stains, repeat as/if necessary. For best results, try not to remove the dirt/stains in one sitting but rather over a few applications.
This is a tried and tested, effective means of cleaning isolated stains, I have personally used this method with flawless results, call it what you want, the Q tips make for very precise cleaning/removal of dirt/stains, they are good for absorption of the stains and are disposable, paired with the right stain remover and patience you can bring the denim back to looking like new.
I out sourced this simple job to a "professional" that does this job for a living and they screwed up the denim entirely.
Go figure. |I
It is also not good to keep throwing your denim in the washer.
