8 tips on how to keep your denim (and the planet) looking its best.
- WEAR OFTEN, WASH LESS
- If you love your denim like we hope you do, we recommend washing only every 3-4 wears. Denim is durable and oftentimes looks even better with wear.
- INSIDE OUT, ALWAYS
- When you do wash your denim, make sure to turn it inside out. This will help maintain its truest wash shade for the longest amount of time.
- COLD WATER ONLY
- Always use cold water when washing, period. This helps maintain its indigo shade and prevents shrinkage while also saving energy, money and the planet—score!
- TURN TO GENTLE CYCLE
- When it comes to washing, the less movement the better. Turn the machine to gentle cycle, and if possible, pull out before the spin cycle.
- USE A MILD DETERGENT
- Try to use a mild detergent rather than one with harsh chemicals to prolong the wash.
- HANG DRY
- We love to hang dry our jeans—it saves energy and prevents any shrinkage. If you must use a dryer, turn the machine to tumble dry with no heat.
- SPOT CLEAN
- Got a stain that needs tending to? Spot clean with a mild soap instead of washing the whole pair.
- GIVE OLD JEANS A NEW LIFE
- When you’ve just worn them enough, give them a new life by donating, recycling or passing along to a friend.
