How to Keep Your Jeans from Fading

I hate it when my jeans fade, don't you?  This is something I have always struggled with but I have found a solution.

When I get a new pair of jeans the first thing I do is soak them in vinegar for about 30 minutes.  Then I wash them on a rinse cycle with COLD WATER and hang them to dry.  Doing this right away helps set the color so it doesn't fade or rub off on anything.  

When my jeans are ready for a wash, I wash them in COLD WATER ONLY and with NO LAUNDRY SOAP.  Yup, you read that right.  The soap can speed up the fading process so I don't use it. Plus, jeans don't really need soap.  If my jeans are really soiled I will wash them with vinegar.  My washing machine has a spot where you can add bleach so that's where I put in the vinegar.  I use about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of vinegar, depending on how many jeans I'm washing. I wash them on a normal wash cycle.

Once they are washed, I always HANG THEM TO DRY.  Putting them in the dryer will also fade them faster.  

Finishing Touches:
If I'm going to be going an event or a competition I go old school and I'll starch and press my jeans.  I love the look of a pressed jean!  When ironing your jeans you have two options.  You can iron them along the seems or you can press them so they have a crease down the front and back.  Every once in a while I'll send my jeans out to the dry cleaner to be starched and pressed. 

So there ya have it! A simple process to keeping your jeans looking amazing.  If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please feel free to leave them in the comments sections below.  I love hearing form you!
