Wearing my favourite Sissy Boy (Ramone) "marble wash" jeans

 

We all have that one pair of denims that we love and have had for years even though it is not as tight or as dark as it was the first year we had it.

You've had those jeans for a year or two, but like most of us, have not paid much attention to that little white tag on the inside of your clothes with that iron, triangle, circle thingy and microscopic font. Care labels tell us all the right things, but we just don't read them.

Well I'm here to tell you that your dark (or black) denims can remain darker for longer and tight even after wearing them three times before a wash by adding my own tip to those care labels.

Forget all those washing powder commercials, I'm all about natural home remedies (as you might have picked up by now). Certain soaps discolour dark colours and gradually wash out the dye. No, I'm not saying don't use soap, I'm just advising that you soak your jeans in salt water (2 tablespoons salt) for about an hour before throwing them in the washing machine. When you wash your dark jeans in the washing machine, turn them inside-out so as to not directly expose them to the detergent you are using and use a gentle cycle.

Don't forget to use cold water, dry inside-out (away from direct sunlight) and always add fabric softener.

Hope this was handy:)
