acid wash
Chlorine-faded jeans treatment
Acid wash is a treatment that gives fabric, especially denim, a faded, mottled appearance by bleaching with chlorine and pumice stones.
The look was emblematic of 1980s fashion: acid-washed jeans, an acid-wash jacket.
The term also applies to cleaning masonry or metal surfaces with diluted acid to remove stains or prepare for finishing.
