Preparing to wash

Turn your jeans inside out. It helps to keep the jeans color longer. Because during washing, the face side doesn’t rub against the washing machine drum. Also, you don’t damage the zipper and accessories. Also jeans hold their shape better when turned inside out.

How to wash

Use not more than 30-40 degrees. Set up a “Сotton” or “Jeans” regime on your washing machine. If you wash at 60 degrees, the fabric may shed and shrink down. Set up 400 turns for wringing out. In this case jeans fabric does not wear out or wrinkle.

Do not overload the drum, maximum 3 - 4 pairs. Wash with cotton clothes. Do not wash with white if your jeans are blue or black. Do not wash with delicate fabrics. When cotton is wet, it becomes heavy and can damage delicate fabrics.

Liquid gel is the best for washing. It cleans better and wash out of fibers. But the washing powder is fine too. If you want to make jeans soft, add conditioner.

If the jeans have difficult stains, do not rub the fabric. Soak an item in a basin with stain remover for 1 hour. Then wash as usual in the washing machine.

We recommend following the manufacturer's recommendations as well. They are always indicated on a tag inside.

Jeans drying

After washing, make jeans straight by shaking them a couple of times. Put jeans to dry indoors. Do not use a tumble dryer or heater. It dries out the fibers and makes them brittle.

In summer, you can dry it in the sun, but on inside out to avoid color fading. But be careful with white jeans, yellow spots may appear on them.

Hang your jeans by the waistband using clothespins. If you hang them over the crossbar, there will be wrinkles. It means you have to iron them out. And the iron damages the fabric as well as the heater.

Iron or not

Stretch jeans do not need to be ironed. They straighten out during wearing.

If the jeans are made of cotton and thick, don’t dry completely and leave them slightly wet. If the jeans are dry, moisten them with a little water. Iron inside out at 150 degrees. To avoid pocket marks during the ironing, place a piece of fabric inside the jeans.

How often to wash

If you wear jeans every day, then wash them once a week. But keep in mind, the less you wash the jeans, the longer the color and good look will last.

Necessary or not to wash new jeans

New jeans should be washed before wearing. Manufacturers process items with chemicals. They lie in dusty warehouses. Jeans are dyed. The paint can get on the skin, cause irritation or allergies.

Wash a new item on the "Express" regime with a small amount of washing powder or gel.

Follow our recommendations and your jeans will serve you for a long time.
