How to wash jeans in an automatic washing machine - mode, detergents, drying, tips

Features of matter

At the time of the invention of jeans, durability and resistance to any impact were the main parameters of good pants, because they were intended especially for dirty, hard work. Many brands even now pay close attention to durability when creating denim collections.

Jeans is a woven fabric made from cotton fibers. Withstands heavy loads, does not crumble at the edges, does not collect static electricity, and is hygroscopic. Clothing made from it “breathes”, but, thanks to the complex weaving of the fabric (diagonal small ribbed with offset or “twill weave”), it does not allow dust to pass through and is not blown through.

Manufacturers supplement modern material with microfiber, silk, linen, and acrylic synthetic fibers. However, additives are minimal, since jeans are valued for their natural composition.

Cotton has disadvantages:

increases in size when worn;
shrinks after washing;
takes a long time to dry;
heated drying shrinks a couple of sizes, and also in length;
fades in the sun.

Despite the impressive list, jeans remain universal clothing, if only because trousers that have been washed and become too small can be worn in, and stretched out trousers can be returned to their ideal fit after washing.

How to restore rich color?

If during the washing process the pigment is washed out and the jeans become pale, you can correct the situation as follows:

Wash your pants together with other faded black items.
Use hair dye. It is prepared according to the instructions indicated on the package. Then the composition is dissolved in the amount of water that is enough to soak the jeans, and a little vinegar is added. The pants are left in the basin for an hour, turning them over periodically. All that remains is to rinse and dry them.
Use special paint for things. You must act according to the existing instructions.

Having returned the color saturation to your pants, you need to be prepared for the fact that at first they will stain your skin and other clothes.

How to wash jeans in a washing machine - pre-loading

Jeans have several critical points that are important specifically for washing.

Pockets. They are checked and all their things are taken out. This will protect the washing machine from breakdowns, things will remain intact, and an unpredictable reaction will not ruin the clothes. For example, chewing gum left in your pocket will force you to throw away your pants or urgently clean them, and not only them, but also other things from the stash. Keys can stop the drum, break the car, small change can clog the drain mechanism, and paper money can be ruined.
When preparing for washing, inspect the label and set the program on the display in accordance with it.
Leather inserts are treated with glycerin to prevent cracking.
If stains are found, remove them manually before the main wash to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Before storing, the pants are fastened and turned inside out.
Metal or plastic decor, falling off, can clog the drain, so richly decorated jeans are washed in a fine-mesh bag.

Important Tips

To wash black jeans without ruining them, you need to adhere to the following recommendations:

When using a powder product, you need to rinse the product twice. Its particles tend to accumulate in the fabric and lead to the appearance of white spots and streaks. As a result, the pants will have to be washed again.
Before you start washing, you need to read the information on the item's label.
You can iron black pants only from the wrong side.

If your jeans become stiff after washing, you can iron them through gauze by turning on the steam function.

How to wash jeans in an automatic washing machine - mode and temperature

It is recommended to soak heavily soiled pants before washing. Or wash on the appropriate mode.

The newest machines have a special mode - “jeans”. But it is not designed for multiple abrasions, holes, fringe, stretch options, lace inserts, embroidery. Without hesitation, it is used for simple models without frills.

Depending on the contamination, you can set:

90 - for heavily soiled items. The pants will shrink a couple of sizes, may boil out, or change color. Perhaps they will be irrevocably damaged. Washing at this temperature allows you to get completely new jeans in the “bum style” style.
600 - for average soiling, the pants will shrink and fade.
30–40 is the right option for those who want to keep their jeans in their original form.
20 - the pants will rinse well, but are unlikely to become clean.

The optimal mode is a quick wash for 30 minutes at a temperature of 30–40 and a low spin. Maximum will cause uncontrolled shrinkage.

How to properly wash jeans in a washing machine - detergents

Cotton can be washed with anything from laundry soap to Whiteness to stoning. Limitations are imposed by other components.

Lace, leather inserts - you need products for delicate washing.
Dark or non-standard acidic colors - products with paint stabilizers.
Appliques, rhinestones, embroideries - oxygen compositions for mixed colored fabrics, without aggressive surfactants.

Responsibly choose the color of powder, liquid shampoo, and other chemical compounds. White or transparent compounds are preferable - they are guaranteed to preserve the original color of the jeans.

Avoid mixing different chemical compounds and using chlorine-containing bleaches. They can change the original color to a random abstraction. Chlorine-based products thin out scuffs, enlarge holes, and “eat off” fringes.

It is important that the selected product retains its operating properties in the required mode. Using lace gel designed to wash at 30 and activating the “cotton 90” program is a pointless waste of powder and time.

Important! Powders and gels for colored laundry are used to wash jeans.

Proper drying of jeans

Do not place the dryer near the radiator or heaters, and do not use the machine drum for this purpose. Heating will definitely lead to shrinkage.

To make jeans dry faster, they are placed on a line. The waistband has the thickest layer of fabric - it should be at the top.

For emergency cases, dry with an iron on the “cotton” setting; it will dry the fabric and shrink, but it won’t cope with seams and waistbands.

Direct sunlight can play a cruel joke. The jeans will fade, change color, and light creases from the rope may remain.

Winter drying on a cold balcony is also contraindicated. A poorly wrung out fabric will freeze and may become covered with ice; when removed from the rope, there is a risk of “breaking” the pants.

How to remove stains from jeans

The basic rule for removing stains from jeans is no chlorine bleach. They corrode the cotton and make it thin. The stain will come out along with the fabric dye. Chlorine products are good when you need light or white stains, scuffs, or holes on jeans.

There are different cleaners for different stains.

Paint and oil stains are wiped off with a sponge dipped in kerosene.
Fat, cosmetics. Apply Fairy for two hours, then rinse under running water. Any powder or soap can handle low-fat cosmetics.
Chewing gum. The pants are rolled up, placed in the freezer overnight, taken out in the morning and the chewing gum is peeled off before it thaws. If it is not possible to remove everything at once, the freezing procedure is repeated.
Contamination from tomato paste and other red seasonings is rubbed with laundry soap, left for 1–2 hours, and rinsed before washing.
Eggs. Ammonia and glycerin will help.
Coffee, tea, chocolate are removed with laundry soap. Glycerin is used for light-colored jeans.
Red berries, wine, juices. Prepare a 1:1 mixture of glycerin and egg white, rub the stain, and after half an hour wash it by hand with soap or put the pants in the washing machine.
Blood. If the stain is not fresh and has already been absorbed, soak the pants for a day in cold water without detergent, then wash the stain with soap. Fresh stains are immediately washed in cold soapy water.

Important! All stains are removed before washing.

Jeans made from dark fabrics often fade. The first few times, until the excess paint comes off, you should wash it separately. When combining light and dark jeans in one pack, stains may appear on the former.

A common problem is size changes. Jeans that have shrunk after “water procedures” can be stretched in several ways.

Extreme. Wet it and pull it on yourself, walk for 5 minutes and dry it on yourself, lying down.
Normal. Soak in hot water, after cooling, pull along the seams with your hands.
Gentle. Wash for half an hour without powder or spin. Pull the wet ones along the seams and secure them with clothespins to the belt on a rope above the bathtub.

Loss of shape occurs with low-quality stretch models. If the pants are cut incorrectly, they will twist after washing. The jeans should be wet, lightly pull the seams, straightening them, and pin them to a horizontal surface with tailor's needles (with colored balls at the end). Or squeeze it lightly, spread a terry towel on the floor and pin the jeans.

How to wash jeans in a washing machine - useful tips

Here are some simple rules for washing jeans.

Do not use too hot water. The pants will fade and shrink.
To fix the color, rinse by hand with vinegar added to the water.
Dry in the shade, without heating devices nearby.
Before drying, shake the pants and stretch the seams.
Do not fill the drum of the machine with things: wet jeans are very heavy.
Don't wash jeans after every wear - only when they get dirty.
Old, tired (faded) pants are repainted, extending their service life.

The main rule of washing jeans in the washing machine is to do it separately from other things for the first time. Preferably immediately after purchase. Excess paint will remain in the unit and not on your body.

Tips and videos

Some care tips:

The first wash must be done immediately after purchasing the product. It is not necessary to use detergents. It is enough to soak the jeans in slightly warm water to remove excess dye from the fabric (which can stain the skin during wear).
If items tend to fade and fade, rinsing in mild vinegar water will help fix the color.
If you iron your jeans dry, they may shrink. Therefore, before using the iron, they must be slightly moistened with water.

Wet cloth is very heavy. This nuance must be taken into account when loading jeans into the washing machine. You can wash no more than five pairs at a time.
If your jeans shrink, you can stretch them back to their original size. To do this, you need to put on slightly damp pants and walk around in them until they dry completely.

Jeans are clothes that do not require frequent washing. It is enough to wash them a couple of times a season, as they become dirty. Then your favorite one will last in your wardrobe for several years.
