Be honest: how often do you wash your jeans? It may surprise you, but did you know that real denim freaks only wash their jeans a few times a year? Better for your jeans, better for the environment. And now we understand that you would rather throw your jeans in the washing machine a little more often, but it can't hurt to be a little more conscious about washing your jeans. That's why MUD Jeans shares a number of handy washing tips:
#1 - WASH LESS
Well, it couldn't be simpler: just wash your jeans less often! Through research, MUD Jeans discovered that jeans are usually washed out of habit, and not because they are really dirty or covered in stains. This requires a lot of water, energy consumption and it causes your jeans to fade faster. So only wash your jeans when they are really dirty. Fun fact: real denim freaks recommend washing your jeans only a few times a year!
#2 - WASH ON LOWER TEMPERATURES
How warm do you wash? Did you know that you can save up to 30% energy by washing at 40 degrees instead of 60 degrees? Fortunately, Marcel's detergent works best at 40 degrees. So you can confidently wash your jeans with Marcel's laundry detergent! You can shop it here.
#3 - WASH YOUR JEANS INSIDE OUT
By washing your jeans inside out, you prevent your jeans from fading and maintain their quality. This also prevents the other clothes in the wash from constantly rubbing and bumping against the outside. It stays beautiful longer!
