Can jeans be machine washed? What should be paid attention to when washing jeans in a machine?

Jeans are loved by many people because of their comfort and ease. You can even match a pair of jeans with many different types of tops when you buy them in a store. However, washing jeans is a headache because it may cause fading, shrinkage and other problems. So can we use a washing machine to wash jeans?

Yes. Jeans are made of pure cotton and cotton fiber blended and interwoven yarn-dyed denim. As a kind of casual pants worn by men and women, they are wear-resistant, dirt-resistant, close-fitting and comfortable to wear. They can be machine washed, and machine washing jeans is also a common way to wash jeans. However, for some jeans made of special materials, it is best not to machine wash them, otherwise it is easy to cause the jeans to deform or fade. It is recommended to wash them by hand.

1. It is recommended to turn the jeans inside out before washing them to avoid discoloration due to friction on the surface of the jeans, which will affect the appearance of the jeans.

2. If the jeans are very dirty, you can rub the special parts that are stained with dirt by hand before washing, and then put them in the washing machine. This will make the jeans cleaner.

3. When washing jeans, they should be separated from other clothes. This is to prevent the jeans from fading and damaging other clothes. It can also prevent the rivets, sequins and other decorations on the jeans from getting hooked on other clothes and falling off.

1. Soak jeans in salt water to prevent them from fading. This method is most suitable for dealing with the fading problem of denim and colorful clothes, and it is very effective. To prevent fading of newly bought clothes, soak them in concentrated salt water for half an hour before washing them for the first time, and then wash them in the usual way. If there is still slight fading, soak them in light salt water for ten minutes before washing them each time. If you keep doing this for a long time, the clothes will never fade. When washing, if you can turn the clothes inside out before washing and drying them, the degree of fading can be minimized. (This method is an effective way to solve the fading of jeans)

2. Fold the jeans and put them in a laundry bag (or wash them by hand). Please use dishwashing detergent as the detergent is used. Generally, laundry detergent contains a small amount of bleach in order to achieve a whitening effect, so jeans are easy to fade. Dishwashing detergent does not contain bleach. In addition to its cleaning effect, it can also remove grease stains.

3. Jeans or other newly dyed clothes contain a layer of glue (the smell of new clothes). Before washing, soak the jeans in a basin of water, then add two spoons of white vinegar and soak for about half an hour. This will prevent the jeans from fading so seriously, and it can also make the clothes soft and prevent fading. (White vinegar can prevent jeans from fading)

4. Drying jeans upside down to prevent them from fading. This method is the most commonly used, especially for dark-colored clothes. The method is very simple, just turn the clothes upside down to dry. Here is a special reminder: most fabrics cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, because ultraviolet rays are the culprit for fading. So not only should you dry the clothes upside down, but if conditions permit, try to put them in a dark and ventilated place to dry.

Clothes usually fade because the dye is not firmly bonded to the fiber texture, or the dye fades due to sunlight. Also, most dyes dissolve easily in water, especially in soapy water, hot water, and alkaline water, so clothes also fade easily when washed.
