How to Care for Your Jeans

The process doesn't end when your jeans come. You now have to care for your jeans in all the proper ways to make sure that they stay in perfect condition for the long term. Here are some important points to keep in mind:


• Follow the instructions on the label: The manufacturer's cleaning instructions are there for a reason. If they tell you only to use cold water and never to dry, follow these instructions to the letter. It may take more time and effort, but think of it as protecting your investment.

• Wash your jeans inside out: This will protect the fabric and texture from fading and overall damage.

• Wash them with light colors: When you're washing your jeans with nothing but older clothes, this may not be important, but be careful when washing your jeans with new items that still have fresh dyes.

• Wear them a few times: Unlike other types of clothing, many pairs of jeans are rather thick and robust, meaning that they can be worn a few times before you wash them. Of course, use your best judgment with this, and don't re-wear them after you've worn them out on a hot day, but do try to minimize the frequency with which you launder them.

• Air dry: If you want to keep your designer jeans in perfect condition, then don't even bother with the dryer. Dry them on a rack or even on a clothesline.

• Hang, don't fold: To keep your jeans in the best shape possible, don't keep them all in a folded stack in a drawer. Hang them up in your closet.
