How do I care for my jeans?Updated 18 days ago

🧼 How often should I wash my jeans?

• Wash your jeans only after 5 to 6 wears.

• No need to wash them every time: this helps preserve the natural patina of the fabric.

• Got a small stain? A targeted spot clean will do the trick (see below).

🚿 Safe washing methods

Hand wash (recommended):

• Soak in lukewarm water with a dose of dark fabric detergent.

• Let sit for 45 min, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Machine wash:

• Turn jeans inside out.

• Wash cold at 30°C / 86°F, delicate cycle.

• Use a small amount of detergent, gentle spin (600 rpm max).

• Remove promptly after wash to avoid creases.

🌬️ Air-drying only

• Avoid tumble dryers: heat damages the fabric and causes shrinkage.

• Dry flat or on a hanger, in the shade.

• Gently stretch the seams while drying to maintain shape.

🧴 Prevent fading and fix color

• If your raw jeans tend to bleed:

  • Soak them in cold water with 1 glass of white vinegar + 1 handful of salt.

  • Leave for 30 minutes, stir occasionally, then wash as usual.

💦 Got a stain?

• Use Marseille soap or gentle natural soap.

• Wet the tip of the soap, rub lightly in circular motion.

• Dab with a damp cloth—no scrubbing.

• Repeat if needed.

❌ My jeans shrank – what now?

• Slight shrinkage? Try this:

  • Slightly dampen the jeans.

  • Gently stretch the fabric with your hands.

  • Dry flat, pulling seams softly.

👖 Tips for jeans with elastane

• Wash only when dirty (air out between wears).

• Max 40°C / 104°F, no fabric softener.

• Never twist or wring – press between towels to remove water.

• Avoid tumble drying. If necessary, use a delicate setting and finish drying in open air.

• Iron only if essential, at low temperature and always inside out.

🔥 Should I iron my jeans?

• Not necessary if air-dried properly.

• If you must, iron inside out, max 150°C / 300°F or low “1-dot” setting.

• No steam needed.
