How often should you wash your jeans? Best way to wash them. How should you dry clean them?
What you need:
- Jeans
- Mild detergent that does not contain bleach or softener
- Clip hangers
How to:
- Turn jeans inside out
- Group by dark or lights
- Launder in cold water with a cold rinse. Use the shortest cycle you can based on soiling
- Remove from washer as quickly as you can at the end of the cycle to eliminate wrinkles
- Turn right side out and hang to dry. Hang on clip-type hangers from the legs to dry. The weight of the fabric will pull out wrinkles.
- Avoid drying in the dryer. It causes shrinkage and creates more wear on the fibers,
- If you must dry them more quickly, put in the dryer for 15 or 20 minutes on lower heat and then remove and hang to complete the drying.
Linda Says:
Washing is the preferred way to clean jeans. Launder every 3 - 5 wearings unless you wear them for something that creates heavy soiling. Dry cleaning weakens Lycra and Spandex and fibers.
