HOW TO WASH

At isa, we recommend washing your jeans regularly to extend their lifespan.

If jeans are not washed, bacteria can grow on them, causing the fabric to break down and give off an unpleasant odor.

Washing jeans can sometimes change the texture, but they will inevitably pick up sweat and odors after wearing them. Leaving them like this can make stains that should be removable impossible to remove and can even cause the fabric to age.
To prevent this from happening, it's important to wash your jeans so that they stay nice and last longer.

Things to note before washing your jeans

Jeans are safe to wash in the washing machine, but there are a few things you should be aware of.

1. Button and zipper closure
If you wash your jeans with the buttons open, the fabric around the buttons will weaken and may come off while you're out, or the metal part of the zipper may rub against the jeans and damage the fabric.
It can also cause the jeans to lose their shape. Also, if the buttons are exposed, they may damage the washing machine drum.

2. Stretch out the rolled-up parts
The rolled-up parts of jeans tend to collect a lot of dust and dirt, so stretch them out before washing and check for any dirt or other debris.

3. Wash your jeans inside out
Washing jeans face up can cause the fabric to rub against itself, discoloring only certain areas and causing significant damage to the fabric. Washing them inside out can prevent this. Conversely, if you want to lighten the color quickly, wash them face up.

4. Don't wash with other clothes
When washing, wash your jeans by themselves, not with other clothes. Denim fabric inevitably fades when washed, so there is a risk of the color transferring to other clothes.

How to wash jeans

Jeans are safe to wash in the washing machine, but there are a few things you should be aware of.

1. Use a neutral detergent

Alkaline detergents are commonly used in household laundry detergents. However, because their cleaning power is too strong, they can actually damage your jeans. To maintain the texture of your jeans, use a neutral detergent. Be careful not to use synthetic detergents such as bleach.

2. Wash in "hand wash mode" or "dry course"

To avoid washing for a long time, wash in the "hand wash mode" or "dry cycle." Adjust the "wash" and "rinse" cycles to be shorter and spin the clothes for 1 minute.

3. Don't use a dryer
In the case of jeans, applying high-temperature hot air will cause them to shrink, so be careful as it may damage the fabric.

How to dry jeans

Drying your jeans properly will help prevent them from losing their shape, fading, and wrinkling.

1. Shape and smooth out wrinkles

Once the washing and spin-drying process is complete, smooth out any wrinkles. Hold the jeans between your hands and pat them to stretch them out, gently pulling on the waist and knees to maintain their shape and prevent them from losing their shape.

2. Dry in the shade

When drying jeans, dry them in a well-ventilated area in the shade. Drying them in the sun has a sterilizing effect, but direct sunlight on jeans can cause sunburn and discoloration, so be careful not to dry them for long periods of time unless you are really concerned about odors.

3. Dry inside out
After washing your jeans inside out, hang them upside down to dry. This will help prevent the color from fading even if they are exposed to direct sunlight.
