Super Easy Ways To Make Your Denim Last Longer
This is a guide book on how to keep your denim safe and sound and for a longer period. Check out denim's dos and don'ts in one go.
For most of us, denim is an investment! Denim is a favourite wardrobe staple which we are never tired of wearing. Probably, this is the reason denim is the hardest working garment in our wardrobe and as a result, it tends to take a beating. One thing that is so special about these denims is that we don't mind wearing them all day long.
Denim is so special to us that this remains the fabric of choice for everyone from kids to the elderly. The long lasting and the excellent fabric is also a factor which makes denim extremely popular around the globe.
Here are some hacks to make your denim last longer.
1. Buy heavyweight denim
The
reason
why
heavyweight
denims
are
popular
is
because
the
higher
the
weight,
the
better
the
quality,
the
better
the
shades.
So,
whenever
you
want
to
purchase
denims
for
long
term
use,
go
for
heavyweight
denims
as
they
last
long
without
any
problems.
Heavyweight
denim
is
something
which
is
more
than
16
oz.

2. Right fit
Once
you
have
picked
up
heavyweight
denim,
you
should
make
sure
that
it
fits
right.
One
sure
shot
way
to
make
the
denim
last
longer
is
to
get
the
correct
size.
While
selecting
denims,
you
should
make
sure
that
the
bottoms
do
not
touch
the
floor
but
it
should
cover
the
top
of
the
shoes.
Also,
make
sure
that
the
waist
isn't
too
loose
as
compared
to
the
hip.

3. Hand wash denims
One
secret
to
making
your
denim
last
longer
is
to
hand
wash
them.
Hand
washing
your
denims
is
always
better
than
washing
them
in
the
machine
as
it
will
make
sure
the
fabric
and
the
threads
are
in
place.
Start
out
by
filling
the
sink
with
cold
water
and
add
1-2
drops
of
mild
detergent.
Now
turn
your
jeans
inside
out
and
wash
them.

4. Wash with cold water
Whenever
you
wash
your
denim,
make
sure
you
wash
with
cold
water.
While
washing,
just
make
sure
you
turn
the
denim
inside
out
and
soak
it
in
chilled
water.
Washing
denim
in
cold
water
prevents
the
colour
from
fading
and
also
makes
it
last
longer
without
much
effort.
However,
if
you
are
washing
the
denim
for
the
first
time,
make
sure
you
toss
two
spoons
of
salt
so
that
the
colour
sets
in
properly.
Washing
denim
in
hot
or
warm
water
may
ruin
the
fabric
instantly.

5. Add vinegar while washing
If
you
have
dark
colour
denims,
you
should
add
vinegar
while
washing.
Add
half
a
cup
of
distilled
vinegar
to
the
last
cycle
of
laundry
so
that
darker
hued
denim
would
retain
the
colour
after
the
wash.
Vinegar
also
discourages
the
growth
of
bacteria
and
other
fungal
activities
on
the
fabric.
Hey,
it
makes
your
denim
smell
fresh
as
well!

6. Avoid using bleach
Adding
bleach
to
your
denim
may
not
only
fade
its
original
colour
but
also
cause
some
serious
damage
to
the
denims.
Using
bleach
will
not
only
mess
with
the
colour
but
it
will
also
cause
harm
to
the
yarn.
You
should
avoid
using
bleach
on
your
white
jeans
as
well
because
bleach
may
cause
your
white
jeans
to
develop
a
yellowish
hue.

7. Avoid dry cleaning
Most
of
us
opt
for
dry
cleaning
our
jeans
because
it
gives
a
fresh
look
to
the
denim
and
also
looks
pretty
good.
However,
the
chemical
used
while
dry
cleaning
can
take
a
toll
on
the
fabric
by
weakening
it
slowly.
Instead,
spend
some
time
using
a
steam
iron
on
your
jeans.
Don't
apply
the
hot
iron
on
your
jeans
directly
but
make
sure
the
iron
is
a
little
cold
so
that
it
does
not
alter
the
original
colour
of
the
denim.

8. Air dry jeans
Instead
of
drying
your
denims
in
the
machine,
you
should
allow
them
to
dry
in
the
shade.
Subjecting
your
denim
to
high
heat
can
make
them
shrink,
cause
creases
and
damage
the
cotton
fibres.
Once
you
have
finished
hand
washing
them,
make
sure
you
hang
them,
roll
them
or
lay
them
flat
to
dry.
