You don\u2019t have to waste an entire laundry cycle just to clean a small part of your jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Separating Denim from Other Fabrics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a fabric, denim is a bit sensitive, so you need to make sure you\u2019re washing it separately in the washing machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wash it along with other garments, not only would the denim fail to be thoroughly cleaned, but it will also cause wear and tear on other fabrics, leading to a mess at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Hand Wash or Machine Wash? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The general rule of thumb here is that if your denim jacket is unclean to the point where spot-cleaning or handwashing wouldn\u2019t suffice, it\u2019s perfectly okay to use a washing machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s better to machine wash your jacket as opposed to getting it dry cleaned, since many dry cleaners use harsh detergents that can permanently damage denim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For handwashing, use a tiny amount of your detergent and soak your jacket in cold water. Leave it like this for a couple of hours and afterwards, let it air-dry completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Use Cold Water and a Mild Detergent <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using warm water to clean your denim jacket can lead to friction which might weaken the denim\u2019s overall hold and structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also cause the dyes in the fabric to leach out and bleed. This is why it\u2019s recommended to always use cold water and a mild detergent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if you\u2019re cleaning using a washing machine, make sure to keep it on the lowest cycle possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Flat Dry After Washing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid using any form of dryers after washing your denim jacket since they can cause shrinkage in the denim\u2019s structure. Instead, leave it out on a flat surface and let it air dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Use Steam Rollers to Reshape the Jacket <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a steam roller to restructure the jacket while keeping it hung with a durable hanger. You can run the steam roller both on the insides and outsides of the jacket to fully bring it back to shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Washing denim can be a little tricky, but it\u2019s only hard till it\u2019s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about denim is that it does not require regular washing as compared to other fabrics, making it not only low-maintenance but also an aesthetic and timeless choice for any garment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washing denim can be a little different than other fabrics since it has to be dealt with delicately.
