Step 1: Soak Jeans
Fill a sink or a bucket with warm water and add a small amount of dish soap or laundry detergent. Gently agitate the water so that it suds up. Then, place the jeans in the soapy water and let it soak for around 30 minutes.

Step 3: Wash the Jeans

Step 4: Rinse and Dry
Once the washing cycle is complete, take the jeans out of the washing machine and rinse them in cold water. Then, hang jeans in the sun to dry. If the stain is still visible, you can try sprinkling a bit of baking soda on stain and letting it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off. This should help to remove any stubborn stains.
