How Often Should You Wash Your Jeans?


Jeans are very possibly the most perfect, most versatile wardrobe item ever created. And when we find the perfect pair, we want to keep them in tip-top shape for as long as possible. You might think that entails washing them frequently, but some experts swear you should never wash them at all. (Seriously, not ever.) And still other laundry experts say you should stick them in the freezer for the best results. But what’s the truth? How often should you wash jeans?

Cleaning experts agree that towels, sheets and pillows should be tossed in the wash after a very specific amount of time. But how often to wash jeans is a fiercely debated topic, though most experts agree that less is more. “Denim is such a durable fiber, and as such, it doesn’t require a lot of washing,” explains Adam Taubenfligel, co-founder of Triarchy, a sustainable denim company. However, there are a lot of factors that can change the “correct” number of times you can wear jeans without washing them.

Yes, there is a correct number! Here’s what experts say about how frequently you should wash jeans to keep them in tip-top shape.

Here’s exactly what you need to know about how often to wash your jeans and how to do it right, from choosing the right water temperature to using the best detergent. This advice just may change everything you think you know about how to do laundry.

How often should you wash jeans?

First things first: Generally speaking, you shouldn’t wash your jeans after every wear. It’s not necessary, and it can actually cause them to break down faster. Instead, a good guideline is to wash them between every three to ten wears. Determine the exact day to wash “based on how they feel, look and smell,” says Rowan Page-Brennan, marketing coordinator for Indigo Wild, the maker of Zum laundry soap. And, of course, if they’re covered in mud, food, motor oil or whatever else, wash them pronto, utilizing these tips on the best ways to get rid of stains.
