We take the guesswork out of washing your jeans with an easy to follow video guide. Steps below:
1. Run a lukewarm bath and add your soap. We recommend Woolite Dark or Dr. Bronner’s but unscented shampoo or body wash work just as well.
2. Wait for the soap to be completely dissolved in the water and place your jeans in the tub. Turn off the water when there’s enough for the jeans to be completely submerged (around 3-4 inches).
3. Agitate the jeans under the water for a few minutes then place them so that all parts of the jean are under water. You may have to use shampoo bottles to hold it down if your jeans are especially buoyant.
4. Leave your jeans in the tub for at least 30 minutes.
5. Agitate your jeans one more time and then drain the tub.
6. Once the tub is completely empty, refill it with again with cold water and leave the jeans in it for another 5-10 minutes. This will rinse out any remaining soap.
7. Drain the tub and hang your jeans to dry over the drain or outside-they will drip indigo water for a while.
8. Let them dry overnight and voila-clean jeans!

that's a clean bathtub.
Corncob Johnson real no u
That’s how yours should look too
Is it? A lot of filthy people out there apparently
The grout around the tile was pretty grimy
@@deii8532 Always one of em gotta be dirty.
I love the tone of your voice when you're talking about drying your jeans in the dryer. My kids are very familiar with that tone. "You're probably thinking about hitting your brother, don't"
Love the video! Although I will say the 6-12 hours seems a little optimistic. I soaked mine 15 hours ago now, hung them up in the shower with the fan on to circulate some air, and they're still too damp to wear. To anyone attempting this for yourself, I would recommend doing this in the morning with the expectation you won't be wearing them at all until the next day.
You can also get a dry towel and dry it from the inside
Hey! So should i not squeeze the water out of the jean? After washing, i just hang it?
Still the best video on washing jeans. Love how they don’t over complicate the process
I’m on holiday and I only brought one pair of jeans. I thought there’d be a washing machine and dryer but I guess not so I’m gonna use this method but with hand soap. Hopefully it goes well.
Now I want to know how YOU wash your tub.
you don't wash the tub the tub washes you
Scrub daddy
"Asking you to please fish them out" hahaha. Thanks for the video. There's a lot of content in the raw denim world that just causes paralysis by over analysis so thanks for keeping it straight forward and not paranoia-inducing.
Jeans are blue because back in the old days indigo dye was available and not expensive. But indigo doesn't absorb through like most dyes, it just coats the surface of the cotton. Fading is the process of removing the indigo to reveal the white cotton underneath. Traditionally most fading is caused through abrasion during drying. That is why drying them inside out slows the fading process. The beautiful patterns of fading caused by the dryer should not be discounted, in addition to having fresh clean jeans. Often today's jeans are made from lightweight poor quality cotton that doesn't fade well. This is covered up by fading during manufacture and adding fake horizontal fade lines and marketing it as a feature. If you have quality raw denim you don't need to copy the horizontal fade line trend, your jeans will fade beautifully just by washing and drying them.
this is the most artistic pants washing guide i’ve ever seen
Loved the 90s feel of the music and voiceover
I like the simplicity of this video. I'm using a cap full of gentle hand washing garment soap and reckon your approach will provide denim jeans with longevity and minimum fade 👍
I never thought that as a girl I would get laundry advices from a stranger online (my grandma crying in silence).Very helpful tho lol
I would rinse them twice… also when I wash had wash using a large tote and agitate them more than you did there. I do turn them inside out. Air dry. Here in Arizona they dry quite fast in my garage especially in the summertime. I have a fan blows air directly on them. I am old and grow up buying Levi’s 501 shrink to fit. That was pretty much the standard back in the day. They didn’t have 20 different styles of jeans for each brand in multiple colors. The denim was heavier and became very soft as a aged.
The water turned black when I wash my jeans after a whole year of not washing it. LOL
Oof
what the fuck
why didn’t you wash your jeans for a year?
@@mikhai5317 you actually don't need to if you really don't want to
@@w87g8765 It must've smelled awful
Never have I heard someone describe submerging my jeans in water like it was murder 😆 1:49
Worked perfectly! Able maintain my fav jeans. Easier than doing the washer then pull out, rinse in shower then hang dry. Ur way as 👌
Do they shrink?
Noel Portillo not at all, obviously tighten because they had been worn but no shrinking at all. The hot dryer and warm/hot water would cause shrinking
I took the advice of the salesperson and did not wash my jeans for the first time and put them in the freezer. In theory this sounded great until the color bled on the inside of my cashmere wool camel coat. Thankfully the dry cleaners was able to get the color transfer stains out. I can’t wear them with any light color clothes or purses until their first wash. I bought white vinegar to give that method a try. I also bought the woolite for dark color clothing.
try to take a bath with your jeans on. it's good also for the jeans. rub gently some nice soap all over the jeans. rinse or shower (both of you) with clean lukewarm water. hang the jeans (get out before) to dry as shown. it kept the shape. shower yourself well and separately.
(Get out before) hahaha I can't
Avi Menchel that’s how you do it with the OGs (Levi’s)
You are funny 😄, I will try to ask my husband to do your way😜hahaha. I bet he will put me in garage for a nite, crazy 😛
@@tatyanacarpinone753 , Nice, 2 years later....probably new jeans and materials. Hope my advices still work. Good you have garage.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
one of the most pleasant videos ever
Soap is ok and will work ok to gently wash, but u should use an actual detergent every once in a while. I use a little bit of Sal Suds. The ph of soap isn’t high enough to dissolve dirt, so what you’ll eventually get is a buildup of soap and dirt in your jeans. If u don’t believe me, google DIY laundry soap vs detergent.
What do you use to clean your tub? It's spectacular!!
Blood and then a bleach rinse.
ostkuk1 the question is : how to you manage to not keep it clean and white.
Just take bath every day.
Pepsi
Next video about it lol
i didn’t know i shouldn’t wash my jeans until i was casually searching for how to hand wash new jeans 😬
my samsung washer has a handwash cycle. yup, going for that.
Did u ever experiment?
This came up in a search for the band Naked and Famous. Quite different music video than they usually make but I can dig it...
Humorous and insightful video. I think I’m going to take a bath now.
place jeans in tub with a couple of inches of luke warm water and body wash detergent for 10 minutes, then repeat process without detergent to rinse.Then drip dry.
>the complete guide
>"I don't know if turning them inside out is good"
Shit my tub will make my jeans even dirtier
God the bathtub so clean!!!!! 👌
That bathtub is soooooo clean
My experience with washing vs not washing is you can't get cracked honeycombs with washing, but you get less general falling apart if you wash. Decisions decisions.
The reason I'm averse to this very gentle washing technique is I tend to wear jeans for digging holes in clay soil, breaking up concrete, and riding my bike and eventually it's a mixture of grit, mud, sweat, and mineral oil, and I suspect this technique would leave them looking unclean. Out of interest, how many hours of actual wear do you anticipate between washes, and what do you wear your jeans for? This pair looks like nice fades are developing...
i know u commented this a long time ago but a tip is, have jeans for work and have jeans for personal use/going out. for example, i have work jeans that i’ll throw in the washer and dryer with no issues because i could care less about them. now my regular pairs of jeans i take more care of them and don’t wash them as frequently.

Untill your jeans are drowned? They are not a dead body your holding under the water.
Too much work ill just never wash them
Great Video. Thank You. Working on a pair of 25oz IronHearts. DO YOU RECOMMEND putting them on while wet to stop any shrinkage ?
would you recommend this for thrifted jeans (not even necessarily raw denim or selvedge) or is dry cleaning them okay just for initial sanitization?
Thank u for making this video , it's very helpful 😎😎😎
Does it get rid of stains?
Cuz i have a stain line on my ripped jeans
I use an industrial floor flood fan and a clippy pants hanger to force air dry my blues. “Air dry” in about and hour. 😌
A few years back, I was in a bad living situation, and our dryer broke. We couldn't afford to fix it, so I would wash my clothes in our washer, then use a blow dryer to dry them. One pair of jeans would take over an hour, and I got electrocuted a few times while pressing the blow dryer to the jeans. Made me really appreciate a washer and dryer.
I'm about to wash my lvc 701s for the first time ever and I've had them for several years now.. I'm scared lol
“Inside of your dryer blue....” THATS WHERE THE BLUE CAME FROM IN THE DRYER?!?!? HECC
Nice video!
Beautiful soundtrack. What's the soundtrack please?
Me watching this after I hard wash the denim LMAO
Thanks for this.
I wash my jeans every 2-3 use.
like every normal person should !
Thank you, it helps me a lot.
Can you wash multiple jeans in the bathtub at once?
oooo thanks bc i was literally gonna dry my pants in the machine so i’ll just wait it out outside although it’s raining a bit..
Hahahaha the intro was kinda funny
Thank you pimpinnnn
Very very nice vid bro no kizzy
Shouldnt i spray them? Or put them in the freezer? Because i have diesel jeans and dont wanna risk it
Can you wash several jeans at the same time in the bathtub using this method?
Thanks man
Thank you sir! 🙏🏼

I'm suppose to do this process for 15 make of jeans? That would take forever
May i know why the water turn yellow?is it becoz of dirt?

What kind of jrans are those
Attention k Mart shoppers
Can i use head and shoulders shampoo
Latino-Heat_64 hell naw lol
You funny 😆
Does this work for 501 Levi’s?
what did you put in there for soup ?
What do you guys recommend for those that don't have a bathtub? 👀
Try diffenet size buckets/bins/and tubs...when you think about it all a bathtub is is a giant bucket or storage like container that you stand in.You could probably try one of those long and shallow sterlite/rubbermaid storage bins. That way you could have the length to lay them out flat like he does in the bathtub here. Kind of the only downside is that after you are done you have a large tub/bin with several inches of water left in it. You would have to carry it outside to dump it or dump it in the shower drain. Then refill with fresh water to rinse the jean.Then dump again and again when done.But hey that is how everyone washed clothes back in the day before wash machines.Just using buckets of soapy and clean water.
Is the water warm or cold ?
My dryer is blue
WoW!
100k people still didn't know
How to wash their jeans!😂😂
Do you iron once they are dry?
can I know the song name in the background?? it's good!
The name of the songs is in the credits at the end of the video. "K-mart 1989"
so how does it look like.....you forgot to show the results..
Goat
Good shit
When I air dry them, do I rinse them? Or dry them as wet as they are?
Dry them wet as they are
I wonder that same thing. Denim holds massive amounts onf water that just pours out while they hang on a dry line if they are not at least rung out first by hand. So even drying on a clothes line seems like it would take a long time if you just leave all that water in them without ringing them out. I would imagine also wouldn't there be a mold or mildew smell if they don't get to dry all the way or take an excessive amount of time to dry causing that funky smell to grow when something stays wet to long....but i don't know.
What if u dont have a bath tub but only a shower stand!?
UA-camr UA-camr you should be able to just use a sink or a plastic tub of some sort. I don't believe the jeans need to be layer out in order for them to be washed.
Eddie Zuhric oh cool. I thought that if the tub is not wide enough then it may cause minor marks due to crumpling or squeezing by hand.
Buy a new house
j Quintero LOL
What is the intro song?
Jamboree Kmart
Thank you!!
Obviously you don't get catepiller grease on your jeans😕
1:03 skip the intro
Raw denim?
google says: “Raw denim is denim which is unwashed in garment form."
Hi everone. i would ask something about 511 selvedeg jeans. i wear W31 L30 a litlle narrow but it becomes comfortable a few months. Which Size 511 selvedge do you offer me ? i like slim fit
Washed my jeans in the bath for months. Then I noticed the washing machine did the same on WOLLENS. Dont use the bath anymore. Use dark wash soap.
That water is yellow from putrefied kidney bile. We all know that those jeans smelled like a zoo.
That’s a lot of water used
His jeans asked to get out and he drowned them 😭
Lmaoo
Very funny 😆
It seems that you have missed the most important element in washing denim, which is adding a cup full of white vinegar to the bath water, ...why ??...because it it acts as fix for the dye so no colour is lost in the process. The smell, if any, will abate when the denim is dry. (Never take anything an 'expert' says as gospel !
Or just trow it in the washer and let it do it’s job hahaha
Guy i really luv urs.lol
