If you are looking to take care of your jeans, here are some tips that might help:
1. Wash Less: Wash your jeans once every 10 wears at most to maintain fit and prevent too much “rebound.” Spot a stain? Use a damp cloth or old toothbrush with mild soap to remove them instead of washing them.
2. Wash Cold: Cold water keeps the color you love. Washing with cold water protects against fading and shrinking. Turn your jeans inside out and avoid harsher soaps to preserve that indigo shade. Cold water also saves energy (and money), making it better for your jeans, your wallet and the environment.
3. Line Dry: Dryers are the natural enemy of jeans. All that lint is your jeans breaking down. Instead, hang them up. Line-drying preserves the fit and helps avoid possible shrinkage or fabric warping. Turning your jeans inside out (and hanging them in a shady space) prevents fading and avoids soggy pockets.
