Q&A for How to Wash Jeans

You can try to stretch the wrinkles out naturally, spritzing the jeans with cold water as needed. They should stretch out themselves as you start to wear the jeans around though.

It would be best to wash them by hand. If you can't do that, then use a washing machine on a gnelte cycle. Wash them alone in case the dye bleeds, or with other jeans that are a similar color.

No. They'll warm up from your body heat when you wear them. If you don't want cold jeans, simply let them warm up to room temp.

After you have washed your jeans for the first time and have all the extra color washed out and they are fitting your body the way you like, wash them in cold water to prevent any excess shrinking. Many people wash their jeans and then line dry them inside or outside, which keeps the material from breaking down quickly. As far as dryer setting you could do either permanent press or cotton. Be careful to read the label, because so many jeans are intermixed with other fibers to stretch to fit the body.

Wash them on a delicate cycle, but change the soil level on the washing machine to a higher level than the default, depending on how dirty the jeans are. If the washing machine doesn't have a soil level or if you still see stains after washing them, dab your jeans with a saltwater mixture and rewash them.

Yes, but you don't need to wash them after every single wear. Instead, wash them after every 4 to 5 wears.

I keep my jeans in the freezer for 12-24 hours. Spray Febreze or Downy Wrinkle Release on them before freezing for a nice clean scent.

Yes, fresh jeans can be washed before attempting to soak them in lemon juice. Bleaching helps remove any artifacts, residues, or chemicals used during the manufacturing process. This ensures a clean surface for the lemon juice to contact the denim. Washing the fabric also softens it, making it more likely to fade. After washing, let the jeans air dry before applying the lemon juice. Test a small, inconspicuous area first to see the effect and avoid any unwanted surprises.
