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

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"
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.
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?
this is the most artistic pants washing guide i’ve ever seen
Loved the 90s feel of the music and voiceover
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.
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 👍
Now I want to know how YOU wash your tub.
you don't wash the tub the tub washes you
Scrub daddy
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 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.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
one of the most pleasant videos ever
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.
Never have I heard someone describe submerging my jeans in water like it was murder 😆 1:49
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
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.
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?
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.

Shit my tub will make my jeans even dirtier
>the complete guide
>"I don't know if turning them inside out is good"
Does it get rid of stains?
Cuz i have a stain line on my ripped jeans
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.
Can you wash multiple jeans in the bathtub at once?
Can you wash several jeans at the same time in the bathtub using this method?
That bathtub is soooooo clean
Can the indigo stain your tub?
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.
Untill your jeans are drowned? They are not a dead body your holding under the water.
2:21 That's diluted piss.
I wash my jeans every 2-3 use.
like every normal person should !
I'm suppose to do this process for 15 make of jeans? That would take forever
Nice video!
Me watching this after I hard wash the denim LMAO
May i know why the water turn yellow?is it becoz of dirt?
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..
will the jeans continue to bleed indigo after they are dry?
Spencer Davis no if completely dry
“Inside of your dryer blue....” THATS WHERE THE BLUE CAME FROM IN THE DRYER?!?!? HECC
Thanks for this.
Very very nice vid bro no kizzy
How do wranglers fade? I haven’t seen any
Shouldnt i spray them? Or put them in the freezer? Because i have diesel jeans and dont wanna risk it
Is the water warm or cold ?
what did you put in there for soup ?
this is helpful.thanks 🇿🇲😍
Does this work for 501 Levi’s?
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.
Can i use head and shoulders shampoo
Latino-Heat_64 hell naw lol
You funny 😆
What kind of jrans are those
Thank you sir! 🙏🏼
Thanks man
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"
K-mart 1989 music 🔥🔥
Thank ypu
What if u dont have a bath tub but only a shower stand!?
TH-camr TH-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
My dryer is blue
What is the intro song?
Jamboree Kmart

so how does it look like.....you forgot to show the results..
Good shit
Raw denim?
google says: “Raw denim is denim which is unwashed in garment form."
1:03 skip the intro
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.
Obviously you don't get catepiller grease on your jeans😕
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 !
I have 10 pair of Jeans and I wash them every two weeks , no fade , wash them in the washing machine on warm , cold rinse
ooo, noooo - so complicated... ?
His jeans asked to get out and he drowned them 😭
Lmaoo
Very funny 😆
What causes the shade in the water? Is that really just bacteria from my ass?
That’s a lot of water used
He used so much water just for one jeans...
Sorry dude but he’s in the US and probably doesn’t pay for water like in NY. You might be in a country
Wasting a lot of water
washing jeans with body wash? Shampoo? WTF
Who Cleans Clothes In Bath Tub ...... ???
His tub is shaped like a coffin
WHAT!!!!????? 😮when did it become necessary to hand wash your JEANS???? What happened to throw it in the washing machine??? Aren’t they jeans?
MsLouisV It’s raw denim, which means it will be very expensive compared to most jeans. Also, this keeps it from shrinking and keeps the fabric from warping.
Is raw denim expensive? Raw is just raw fabric not means a high price. Most people doing this is why have bought premium jeans like nudie, apc, naked and famous and many of them have watched “how to wash RAW denim for the first time” on You tube. LMAO
Seungho Lee Raw denim is usually more expensive than regular jeans, for instance Uniqlo jeans which are generally cheap cost $80 or more for selvedge/raw jeans (normal are $40). Same goes for Gap jeans and other cheap places that you wouldn’t call exactly premium.

The experts say to NEVER wash your jeans
Wtf so we are supposed to walk with stains and stuff?
Imagine the amount of bacteria just after one day on your jeans. Particles of urine from peeing,that splash off the toilet and land on the jeans.Fecal matter from the buttcrack residue everytime you sit.Farting fecal particles. Sitting in chairs that have had thousands of people sit in them. Ball sweat and bacteria. Your legs secrete oils,sweat, and bacteria constantly. Then rub onto the inner legs of the jeans. Those oils attact and feed bacteria. That is when jeans get that crunchy/sticky coating that feels like someone put a coating of honey on the inside of the pant legs.Then of course the funk smell of all the bacteria colonies leaving that ripe smell eminatting from the jeans. Ya have to wonder if when people get sick or get infections if they are getting them from their never washed jeans sitting on your body and spreading those germs to themselves over and over each day.
This is lazy washing 👎
Bruh just throw them in the wash
not everyone has one
I only have 5:59 to 11:59 hours to spare tho
Ok I will let my husband do your way just put them on. I bet he will put me in garage for than nite. You crazy bye new 👖 jeans or new washer 😜😜😜
Silly... I probably have 50+ pairs of jeans. Washer to dryer, cold water, of course. That’s it. And, they are ALL still wearable.
"50+?" I only have a dozen pair and I thought I had a jeans fetish! What do you? Change your jeans five times a day? LOL.
I only have 2 wearable jeans, the rest are out of shape from washing. But seriously I washed my jeans after 1 to 2 wears.. Usually is after every 1 wear and I wash it.
The best way to wash your jeans is in the washing machine. It's unnecessary to put this much care into a pair of jeans.
He is taking about raw jeans with high quality cotton and real indigo which may cost 300-400 dollars. of course the cheap fake jeans you probably wear don't need that much care
@atmavictu2995 No one can tell the difference between the two and no one cares.
@@MrDwightsimonno raw denim people care that nobody cares
Totally unnecessary. Just chuck it outside-in (the jeans) into a washer (preferably gentle cycle - but NOT mandatory). When done, line dry (inside-out).............. Alternately, chuck it into the dryer
RIP jeans.
Bapcha Man Insanity at its finest.
Bapcha Man seriously. Don’t overthink it, jeans supposed to get beat up.
Its not about functionality its about appearance. if you want fades you will not put your jeans in a washing machine.
Jeans shrinking is a myth. I always boil wash them in the machine at 95C. I AM NOT KIDDING!!!! They hardly fade. I put them into the dryer. Never had a problem.
That water is yellow from putrefied kidney bile. We all know that those jeans smelled like a zoo.
"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.
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
Too much work ill just never wash them
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.
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 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.
would you recommend this for thrifted jeans (not even necessarily raw denim or selvedge) or is dry cleaning them okay just for initial sanitization?
Attention k Mart shoppers
Thats Levi's 501
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
i dont know if this is a jean washing guide or a guide to murder someone
