Some tips for optimal machine washing
We guarantee you, manual washing of jeans is a rather tedious task. The washing machine is still the best option, but you still need to use the right gestures to avoid damaging it. Blindly washing your jeans is never a good idea. If you want to preserve it for longer, there are certain precautions you need to take and rules you need to follow.

First of all, you should never wash your jeans at high temperatures (60°C). Always set a program with cold water (30°C) and follow the instructions on the label. For effective washing, it is recommended to turn your jeans inside out to avoid discoloration. If you want to wash more than one at the same time, make sure you sort them intelligently and put together pants of the same shade or you risk staining them all. In other words, black or dark jeans should never be washed with white or blue jeans. Be careful also to choose the most appropriate detergent, suitable for denim and colored fabrics. Please note that fabric softener is not recommended, as denim fibers can be damaged much more easily.

Good to know: once the wash cycle is complete, hang your jeans outside, in the shade and upside down. To avoid marks, hang them by placing clothespins on the waistband.
