Into the Freezer
Freezing temperatures kill the bacteria responsible for odors. Simply place your jeans airtight in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator overnight.
When washing jeans, the rule of thumb is: as infrequently as possible! With every wash, both the color and the material suffer. Over time, denim develops a characteristic appearance, such as wrinkles and individual color gradients, which can be affected by washing too often.
Tips for cleaning jeans without a washing machine
Partial cleaning
A stain can be easily removed with a clean sponge or toothbrush, some warm water, and our mild detergent .
Grease stains?
We also recommend our mild detergent for grease stains. It's important not to scrub too aggressively to avoid losing the color of the dirty area.
Too heavily soiled?
Our tips if washing cannot be avoided.
Step 1
Turn jeans inside out before washing. Close buttons and zippers so that other clothes don't get caught on them.
Step 2
Use our mild detergent without bleach for the wash cycle and avoid using fabric softener, as this gives the jeans a soapy feel.
Step 3
To prevent streaks, a maximum of 2 to 4 pairs of trousers of the same color (depending on drum and trouser size) should be washed in one machine at a time.
Step 4
Wash cold at max. 800 rpm (delicate or gentle cycle). This prevents abrasion/wear and creasing.
Step 5
Hang jeans to dry, preferably outdoors – do not put them in the dryer, as they could shrink!
Step 6
Ideally, do not iron jeans. If you do, turn the trousers inside out and align the seams as precisely as possible.
