How to care for jeans
  First of all, it must be remembered that jeans do not like the use of chemicals to them. Of course, washing powder is also chemistry, but I meant powerful drugs. Just remember that you can wash jeans in water up to 40˚ C. Of course, the best option is to wash your jeans by hand. But modern household appliances can perform such an operation rather painlessly. Of course, be prepared for the fact that after the machine wash jeans can become a size smaller, but you need to know about this even during their purchase.

Dark jeans, to prevent loss of color before the first wash should be soaked in water with the addition of salt or a small amount of vinegar.

Just remember that even high-quality jeans can shed in the process of washing. Of course, this rarely happens, so during the first wash, see if it happens to your jeans. In general, it is best to wash this fabric separately from other things.

Wash jeans need powder for colored fabrics. It is strictly forbidden to use white laundry detergents. When washing denim, we recommend using a color fixer.

Before you put the denim product in the washing machine drum, you need to fasten it on all buttons and zippers and, if possible, turn it on the wrong side. This is done in order not to lose the jeans fittings and not to scratch the washing machine drum.

Dry jeans in the same kind of turned inside out, in which you and loaded them into the washing machine. So, during drying, they will not be able to fade in the sun, in the event that you hang them outdoors.

Wearing raw jeans should not be worn. So after the evaporation of moisture, they will take the form of the body, highlighting even those features that you do not want to show.

I heard several times that jeans should not be ironed. Although you can do without this procedure, you should still iron your jeans, if only to achieve a more delicate fabric. If you do not, jeans will be rude.

The jeans are ironed after all the excess water from the glasses is used, but they are still quite wet. During ironing on the iron, you can set the steam mode at a low temperature. Stroked jeans from the seamy side.

Now there are many options for denim. In order to properly care for such products always pay attention to the label. It contains all the necessary parameters.
