How to Care for Denim

To make your denim last longer, always adhere to the care instructions on the tag of each garment. Otherwise, here are some simple tips to follow to make the most out of your jeans. 

• Wash Sparingly: Jeans don’t need to be washed after every wear. Washing too often can cause the fabric to wear out quicker. This will help preserve their colour and shape.

• Cold Water Only: When it’s time for a wash, stick to cold water. Hot water can cause your jeans to shrink and lose their shape. Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine to prevent excessive wear.

• Turn them inside out: Before you toss your jeans in the wash, turn them inside out. This helps protect the outer layer of denim and keeps the colour from fading too quickly.

• Use Mild Detergent: Choose a mild detergent designed for dark colours. Harsh chemicals can strip the colour and weaken the fabric over time.

• Skip the Dryer: Air drying is the way to go. Tossing your jeans in the dryer can lead to shrinkage and damage the fabric. Hang them up or lay them flat to dry. If you’re in a hurry, a quick tumble on low heat can help, but try to avoid it when possible.

• Spot Clean When Needed:For small spills or stains, spot cleaning is your best bet. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently blot the area. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

By following these simple steps, you’ll help your jeans last longer and maintain their unique character.
