Can I spin my jeans in the washing machine?
On the question whether you can spin a pair of jeans in a washing machine, no clear answer. If it’s the most ordinary model without rhinestones, rivets, lace, nets and decorations, it is much more convenient to get right away almost dry and do not bother with the spin. True, then they have to be ironed, as multiple creases are guaranteed.
Jeans, equipped with metal fittings, jewelry, lace, to spin in the machine can not, otherwise you can then half of the ornaments will not find. Because of the torn parts can damage the washing machine itself.
Spandex models need to be hand-washed, otherwise you run the risk of feeling deformed and 2 or 3 sizes too big.
What detergent to wash jeans in a washing machine
The gel-type, liquid detergents are the best, as they, unlike powders, come out of coarse material faster and do not leave white streaks. The washing itself is of higher quality, because the mobile gel particles penetrate the fibers better than the powder.
You can choose detergents for wool and silk, providing gentle care. They wash a coarse denim well, do not allow it to shrink or fade. Better yet, buy special gels for washing jeans, the choice is quite large.
If the choice was all the same on the powder, it is necessary to choose a quality brand. It is best to take one labeled “for colored clothing,” as a special formula will keep the denim from shedding and preserve the original brightness of the material. In this case, you need a conditioner that softens the rough fabric after the powder.
