If the vinegar doesn't work, I'll definitely give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10919 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:30:16 +0000 Nicole 10919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look what I found:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ritdye.com/Fabric+Treatments.28.51.7.68.lasso" rel="nofollow">http://www.ritdye.com/Fabric+T.....7.68.lasso</a></p> <p>Have not used it or anything, so can't endorse it, but it's like $4, probably worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10917 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:17:39 +0000 Ana 10917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the clamdiggers! I'm going to invest in at least one more pair for the summer. I'll let you all know if the vinegar thing works out (I'm keeping my fingers crossed). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10914 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:13:22 +0000 Antje 10914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weird. I haven't had that problem with the JC clamdiggers (the matchsticks, correct?) I hope the vinegar solution works out for you, Ana!<br /> Are you loving these clamdiggers? I am, and think I will basically live in them this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10904 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:59:26 +0000 Ana 10904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just soaked my clamdiggers in vinegar last night, and then put them on a warm wash. They are currently air drying, but I will try them on tonight or tomorrow and see how it went. Maybe the blue isn't coming off on yours because you did the vinegar thing right off the bat, Patience. I hope it works, because I'd really like to get a second pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10901 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:02:33 +0000 Patience 10901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't had a problem with the blue rubbing off on my first pair of clamdiggers. Don't know about the second pair yet. I did do the vinegar thing in a bucket first time I washed them. I wish I could help more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10897 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:20:23 +0000 Jennell 10897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too bought the JC blue clamdiggers and haven't worn them because the blue was already coming off on my hands!<br /> Jennell </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10859 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:37:47 +0000 Dani 10859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I use vinegar for everything! I've tried to go less toxic in my cleaning supplies, especially with little ones around. I love it! My husband buys the big jugs too when I put it on the grocery list and just sighs cause I go through it pretty quickly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10855 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:30:03 +0000 Ana 10855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dani! I actually bought a whole big jug of vinegar after Nicole posted about how she uses them on the towels instead of bleach, and it's worked like a charm, so I think I even have enough. I'll do it tonight before I go to bed. </p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10854 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:27:59 +0000 Dani 10854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Should work...I don't see why you couldn't put vinegar in the machine overnight if you can do so with bleach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10849 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:21:29 +0000 Ana 10849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you! Hmm....I don't have a bucket. Maybe just in the washing machine? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10847 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:19:03 +0000 Dani 10847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I've had the same problem, but mine are getting a little better. I haven't tried the vinegar yet, but I plan to do so. I will be bringing in a bucket shortly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10844 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:13:03 +0000 Angie 10844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/14/wash-jeans-in-vinegar-to-set-the-dye/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/.....t-the-dye/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10838 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:03:46 +0000 Tanya 10838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I am sorry I don't have any solution to this.</p> <p>I just wanted to say that I've had similar issue with some of my jeans in the past, so the dye would get on my hands, and because I tend to unconsciously touch my face a lot of the dye will be on my face as well. So I would end up all day looking like a smurf indeed with the blue face and my lab-colleagues would not say a single word! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10835 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:59:38 +0000 Angie 10835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vinegar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clamdigger-quandary#post-10833 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:57:48 +0000 Ana 10833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My clamdiggers have got the blue dye migration problem. It hasn't really been an issue with it rubbing off on any clothing, but my hands are constantly blue! It actually makes me laugh to walk around with smurf hands, but it'd be nice not to have to run to the restroom every 10 minutes to wash them. Have any of you all had this problem with the dark denim J. Crew clams? </p> <p>I don't think I can take them back at this point, and I really don't want to. I've washed them 4 or 5 times, with vinegar and all that and this is still happening. I haven't washed them on hot though, only cold. I was contemplating doing it, just once, to see if it'll sap out some of the dye. Would this totally ruin them? Any help would be appreciated. </p> <p>Thank you! </p>
