Denim Care Guide
Preserve the quality, fit, and color of your denim with proper care techniques.
Step-by-Step Care Process
-
Pre-Treatment: Turn jeans inside out to protect the outer surface and color. Check pockets for items and fasten all closures.
-
Cold Water Wash: Use cold water (30°C/86°F or below) to prevent shrinking and fading. Cold water preserves the denim's structure and color.
-
Gentle Cycle: Select a gentle or delicate wash cycle to minimize agitation. Less agitation means less wear on fibers and seams.
-
Air Dry: Hang dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Lay flat for heavy denim to prevent stretching.
Washing Frequency by Denim Type
-
Stretch Denim: Every 2-3 wears. Avoid high heat to maintain elastane fibers.
-
Dark Denim: Every 4-5 wears. Wash separately the first few times to prevent color bleeding.
-
Light/Faded Denim: After each wear, if needed. More tolerant to frequent washing, less color loss risk.
Important Warnings
-
Avoid commercial washers and dry cleaning for garments with magnetic or electronic components.
