This is very simple. Soak the jeans in "HOT" water and mild soap. I would use a large plastic(Rubbermaid)tub. Put the jeans in first, then poour boiling water in. Wait 10 minutes or so. Then add some dish soap. Palmolive, Joy, whatever. Slosh it around a bit so you make a little foam. Then add more boiling water. Kerosene is lighter than water and will also bind to the suds. Use a strainer bowl to scoop out the suds. You'll notice they have a greyish or brownish color to them. DO NOT lift jeans out of the water. Pour water out of tub with jeans still in bottom. Soak them once more with the boiling water then put them in the washing machine with double dose of detergent. It is not recommended to wash with other clothes yet. After this, you should be good to go.
