Caring for Your Jeans

As you know, proper care of clothing is key to keep them looking nice and lasting longer.  Jeans are no exception.  Here are some tips about caring for your jeans published by Allure magazine that will make your jeans' shape and quality last longer.

1. Get dirty.  After purchasing your jeans, wear them as long as you can.  The longer you can go without laundering them so they get as comfortable as possible.  When using stretch jeans, wash them at most once a week to keep the original snug fit.
2. Stay true to your blues. To protect the color, always turn jeans inside out when washing.  Never set the water higher than warm.
3. Give them some air. Putting jeans in the dryer will eventually reduce the elasticity in the fabric, so be sure to air-dry raw denim. To shrink stretched denim back to size, set the dryers to "tumble" dry at hight heat for 40 minutes.
4. Hang out. Once dry, hang jeans instead of stuffing them into a drawer.  Hanging them helps mimic their natural shape when worn.

Since jeans have risen so much in price, taking proper care of your jeans will give you a better return on your dollar too!

Laundry care is so vital today with both the economy and the environment. A couple of quality products worth checking out: www.laundryplus.com/cewright (passcode is "guest") and www.freshairliving.com/cewright (passcode
is "guest").

The first product washes clothes in only cold water and without detergent! The second is a sanitizer that leaves your jeans smelling fresh and they have never been washed after wearing almost daily for over 6 months! Amazing!
