Do you hate when those jeans fade? If you would like to keep the pretty color to your jeans, mix some vinegar in with some cold water when you rinse them. Make sure you rinse them well after you do this. Vinegar will help preserve your jeans and keep them looking new.

Did you not get to the jeans in time and now those black jeans have changed into a grey color? If you would like to restore them back to their normal colors, then just use black Dylon Fabric dye. In fact, this dye comes in different colors and can be used on all fabrics.

Do you have stretch jeans? If so, then you don’t need to make them dirty before you wash them. You will need to wash them after you wear them or maybe at least once a week. This way, they will maintain their regular fit.

This one may be surprising to you. They say to let your jeans get dirty and don’t wash them. When they say this, they are talking about the natural wear type dirty. The longer you go without washing those jeans, the longer they are going to last. Not to mention the fact that they will fit nicely. I would say wash them every five wears.

Turn those jeans inside out and do not use those powdered detergents. Powdered detergents have a thing with clinging to jeans and causing hard spots.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

When you do laundry, don’t toss your jeans in with all of the other clothes. It is important to hold the jeans to the side and wash them alone.
