To keep your jeans looking new, you want to air dry. But if you use the dryer, run it on low heat and take them out while still a bit damp. Separating them as they dry helps avoid those wonky wrinkles from forming.
Wash Jeans Inside Out
This is one of the simplest ways to protect your jeans. Turning them inside out minimizes friction in the wash and helps avoid unnecessary stretching and fading.
Gentle Cycle/Hand Wash
Stretch denim tends to be more prone to damage, so a gentle cycle is a lot kinder. If you’re working with a pair of jeans you really like, try the hand wash option — it’s even better.
Don’t Overload the Machine
Your jeans need breathing room. If they are packed in tightly with too many other clothes, they’re more likely to emerge looking warped.
