Read on to discover the best and most natural ways to care for your denim.

WASH LESS

When it comes to washing your denim, less really is more! We hate to say it, but you're probably washing you favourite jeans far too often - which will ultimately lead to a shorter lifespan. As a rule of thumb we like to wash our denim every 10 wears.

If it's just a minor stain you're dealing with, spot cleaning with a mild detergent will do just the trick and have you back in your go-to pair in no time.

You can also spritz your jeans with a natural fabric freshener every few wears if desired.

WASH COLD

Save time, money and the environment buy washing your denim at home.

For ultra-gentle care, wash your jeans by hand in the sink or for extra convenience pop them in the washing machine with similar colours. Of course, no matter which way you choose, it's always important to launder your jeans with cold water and a mild detergent and to ensure they're inside out. These tricks will keep the colour you love from fading over time.

LINE DRY

While the feel of shrinking your jeans in the dryer will give you that instant brand new feel, it will actually drastically reduce their lifespan. All that lint is your jeans breaking down!

Let your jeans naturally air dry. Hanging them up vertically will ensure your pockets dry and will maintain the fit and integrity of your ultimate jean!
