Caring for your jeans
- Now you’ve found your perfect pair, don’t forget to check the wash care label before washing them.
- Delay washing your new jeans as long as you can. Spilt something on them? Try spot cleaning the stain instead.
- Always use a gentle or cold wash cycle and don’t forget to wash your jeans inside out. You’ll preserve the colour of your jeans and protect against shrinking, plus you’ll save water and energy.
- Dryers and denim don’t mix. Preserve the fit of your jeans by line drying them instead.
- Need to hem your new pair? Wash your jeans before hemming to allow for any initial shrinking.
- Avoid drying jeans in direct sunlight as this can cause fading.
