Denim Care: How to Keep Chic Denim Looking Fabulous Year After Year
Denim is made to withstand the wear and tear of every fashionista’s fast-paced lifestyle; that’s why it’s a wardrobe favorite. Follow these tips for caring for cotton denim so you’ll get the most bang for your buck.
When getting ready to wash denim, especially if it’s a dark rinse, make sure it’s washed with other dark items. It also helps to turn the denim inside out, which reduces abrasion and will help prevent your denim from fading. Wash dark items in cold water, and make sure to use products designed, to keep colors from fading, such as Tide® Liquid. Don’t over-dry your clothes either. Excessive heat can lead to fading. Instead, take the items out when they are still a bit damp and leave them inside out to dry.
It’s crucial to read the fabric care label when laundering brightly colored denim, to ensure it doesn’t fade or shrink. If you are a hardcore denim-ophile, you might consider using a denim specific cold water detergent. Otherwise, use liquid detergent suitable for cold water laundering. Keep your blue jeans looking great wear after wear by practicing these easy to follow laundering steps that will ensure that just bought look for years to come.
