The Right Way To Wash Your Oilily Jeans

Simple Life Magazine tells us the right way to care for our denim and jeans. I have always washed my children's clothing as well as my own jeans in a cold wash and hung to dry. For our children's clothing, I still think that is the way to go as children's clothing cannot afford any shrinkage. According to Simple Life, if jeans shrink in one wash, they'll go back to the original size, in the next wash. Interesting...If anyone has had this experience, I would love to hear about it.

Denim is easy to care for, but these tips will make it even easier.

Wash jeans in warm water, with no bleach. Air-dry them to keep them in mint condition, but if you’re in a hurry, you can tumble dry them on low.
If you’re determined to make that dark rinse last, turn your jeans inside out before washing to slow down fading. If you’re really determined, send the jeans to the dry cleaner.
Don’t worry too much about shrinkage. Denim is resilient, and most pairs have been preshrunk by many rigorous washes before they hit the sales floor.
Never put more than four pairs of jeans in the washing machine at once (adding other clothing is fine), because the heavy weight of the denim will constrict the movement of the wash cycle. This can damage the machine and the clothing, and chances are the jeans will end up less than clean, not to mention wrinkled.
You may have heard of jean stretching — meaning hanging the pants upside down while wet, or even attaching some weights to them, to make them extend a bit. Although experts say that this could conceivably work, it won’t make enough of a difference for you to notice. Also, they warn, the use of weights could warp the seams. And once you wash the jeans again, they will shrink back to the length they were before. Better to invest in a pair that fits properly or is even slightly long.
