Denim Washing instructions
To properly wash jeans, turn them inside out, and wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
Step-by-Step Washing Guide
Turn inside out: Flip the jeans so the outer indigo dye is protected from friction against the drum and other garments.
Wash less often: Aim to wash your denim only every 5 to 10 wears, or spot-clean minor stains using a damp cloth and mild soap.
Choose cold water: Always use cold water to prevent shrinking, protect elastic stretch fibers (like spandex or elastane), and reduce color fading.
Select a gentle cycle: Use a delicate or gentle machine cycle with a mild, color-safe detergent (avoid fabric softeners and bleach).
Separate colors: Wash dark and raw denim only with other dark colors, and keep white or light wash denim in separate loads.
Drying Jeans
Skip the dryer: Avoid using a hot tumble dryer, as high heat breaks down cotton fibers, causes lint buildup, and shrinks elastic stretch blends.]
Air dry: Hang the jeans by the waistband or lay them flat on a drying rack in a shaded, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight to prevent stiffness and fading. Here is a step-by-step visual guide on how to wash and care for your denim properly:
