To achieve the typical color of popular jeans, a white thread is woven with an indigo thread. This then results in the well-known denim pattern. This fabric was originally made from pure cotton. Today, cotton is mixed with other materials such as elastane synthetic fibers. When jeans contain synthetic fibers, they stretch and fit better. The less cotton in a trousers, the cheaper it is, but also the less durable it is.
It is important to wash jeans correctly so that the color of the classic stays as intense as possible for as long as possible. The following tips will help.
Eliminate musty odors with ventilation
6-year-old Chip Bergh, CEO of denim giant Levi’s, shocked his audience during a conference by saying that he had never seen the inside of his jeans in the washing machine. I guess what he meant by that was not that he was wearing dirty jeans, but that the jeans should never be machine washed.
If the jeans smell a little musty, you can hang them in a damp place for a few days, such as near the shower. This eliminates unpleasant odors. Then you can easily put the pants back on.
But sometimes jeans can smell unpleasantly even after washing. This is because the color pigments of the jeans react to the detergent and emit an unpleasant odour. More reasons to hand wash your pants.
Vinegar instead of detergent
Jeans are damaged in the washing machine: they become discolored due to detergent and fabric softener. If your jeans are really dirty, you should hand wash them. Most of the time no detergent is required.
If the pants are really dirty, you can soak them in water and add a small glass of vinegar. Let the jeans soak for about an hour, and then tighten them lightly. It does not require rinsing, the vinegar smell disappears when drying on the clothesline. Jeans dry better there because the fabric usually only stretches in the dryer. There is no need for ironing because the fabric adapts to the body again after being worn for a short time.
If you still want extra flexibility, you can rub your legs with baby oil and then slip your jeans over your legs. The oil penetrates the fibers of the fabric through friction and softens the fabric.
