Laundry: Jeans Washing Tips
Laundry: 5 Tips to Clean Jeans.Here's how to keep your - and the kids' - denim garments from looking like they're relics from your grandmother's flower power days. 1 Wash jeans separately the first time. The dye in most jeans transfers readily to its fellow bathers. Let new jeans enjoy an exclusive bath after coming home. 2 Wash jeans inside out. Choose warm or cool water to prevent fading (unless you want fading, of course.) Keep denim away from detergents with bleach for the same reason. 3 Avoid frequent tumble-drying - and don't dry clean jeans. Heat damages fibers; so if they're to be frequently washed, lay flat to dry instead of tumble drying. Dry-cleaning jeans can cause discoloration of jeans; avoid that, too. When necessary, tumble dry while dryer drum is cool and use delicate settings. 4 Don't spot-clean denim. Instead, wash the entire pants so you don't create a faded area where the spot or spill was. 5 Iron jeans while they are still damp. If, of course, the latest style guru endorses wrinkle-free jeans.
