Home wash process of jeans pants

Jeans are very popular and fascinating fashionable wearer among people of all ages, especially young people. There are very few men in the wardrobe who do not have denim. There is a common conception in society that jeans are mostly treated as worker’s pants. But the scenario has changed rapidly, now we use denim as everyday clothes. This type of pants was marketed for the convenience of the people who come to work in the mines at once upon a time. However, there is another fact about the history of denim.

In the middle of the eighteenth century. The wife of a carpenter came to a tailor named Ellen Jacob W. Davis. Her husband often scratched his clothes in the thorns of the forest while collecting wood. They have no ability to buy new clothes constantly in a family of poverty. Thus, she wanted durable clothes for her husbands. At the urge of the buyer, an idea played on the tailor’s head. At that time a kind of thick cloth called Serge de Nime was available in France. Didn’t scratch easily. The price was also cheap. Jacob made pants for that woodcutter with such cloth.

As usual, the name and quality of these durable pants made by Jacob spread quickly. All the pants started selling quickly among satisfied customers. But despite the increase in demand, there are not enough clothes to supply. He then contacted Levi Strauss, a wholesaler in the field. In 1823, a US patent for jeans was issued. This year is considered the birthday of Blue Jeans. Although these pants were originally used by workers, denim was also used in American military clothing during World War II.

Jeans lose their luster and appeal very quickly if used daily. However, if some techniques are adopted to keep its fascination, denim will remain new even after repeated use.

If you follow some rules of washing clothes, the color of jeans will not change. Learn about those strategies:

1) Use cold water instead of warm water to wash jeans. Hot water is not good for denim.

2) Soak in soapy water for a while before washing. Then lightly rub the dirt off the jeans.

3) Do not wash jeans with excessively alkaline soap. The color may pale quickly. So, remove the alkaline soap and wash with mild soap.

4) Do not squeeze jeans after raw. Instead, strain it and let it drip. After a while, dry it in the sun.

5) It is better to wear jeans after pressing or ironing so that wearer could retain the shining appearance.

6) Vinegar is a virgin item that can be used for first-time wash. For first-time wash, if add one cup of household vinegar to your brand-new jeans that would be better. Just soak your jeans in a bucket with cold water and do not use washing powder. It will fix the original color that will not bleed easily during the next wash.

7) Let it dry in the sun upside down to keep the color durable. Grind in reverse while washing.

8) Dirt accumulates in the folds of denim feet, so it is better to rub it lightly with a brush.

9) Jeans should be washed as soon as they become dirty. Fresh dirt can easily be removed. Sometimes it makes trouble if dirt gets stuck deeply.

10) Don’t dry your jeans in a dryer because over temperature is worst for the fabric and it will shorten the tenure of your favorite jeans. Try to avoid hot dryer if possible.
