Must-Have Cargos - Pack of 2

1. <b>Read the Care Label:</b> Always start by checking the care label on your denim. It provides specific instructions from the manufacturer, which may vary depending on the type of denim and any special finishes.</br>

1. <b>Turn Inside Out:</b> Before washing, turn your denim inside out. This helps protect the outer surface and minimizes fading.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Separate Colors:</b> Wash denim separately or with other like-colored items to prevent color bleeding onto lighter fabrics. Dark denim, in particular, can bleed dye.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Use Cold Water:</b> Wash your denim in cold water. Cold water helps preserve the color and prevents excessive shrinkage.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Gentle Cycle:</b> Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine. This minimizes the wear and tear on the fabric and stitching.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Mild Detergent:</b> Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can weaken the fabric and cause fading. </br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Avoid Overloading:</b>Don't overload the washing machine. This can lead to inadequate cleaning and can stress the fabric and seams.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Skip Fabric Softener:</b> Avoid using fabric softener when washing denim. It can leave a residue that affects the jeans' texture and may lead to a less-than-desirable fit.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Fasten Buttons and Zippers:</b> Fasten all buttons and zippers on your jeans before washing to prevent snagging and damage.

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Limit Washing:</b> Denim doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Spot clean small stains when possible, and only wash when they're noticeably dirty or have stretched out. </br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Air Dry:</b> After washing, it's best to air dry your denim. Hang them by the waistband or lay them flat on a clean, dry towel. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause fading.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>No Heat:</b> If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting or air fluff. High heat can cause the denim to shrink and may damage the fibers over time.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Iron as Needed: </b> If your denim becomes wrinkled, iron it inside out on a low to medium setting. Be cautious with excessive heat to avoid scorching or shine.</br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Store Properly:</b> Store your denim folded or hung with clips to maintain their shape and prevent creasing. </br>

<p class="space"> </p>

1. <b>Consider Freezing:</b> To freshen up your denim without washing, you can also consider placing them in a plastic bag and freezing them overnight. This can help kill odor-causing bacteria. </br>

<b>Remember</b> that frequent washing can lead to faster wear and fading, so it's generally best to wash denim as infrequently as possible to preserve its quality and appearance.
