How to Dry Jeans

After washing a pair of blue jeans, it is necessary to dry them. However, if you just take them out of the washer and throw them into the dryer, your blue jeans will shrink, and it will be even harder to get into them. Here are some steps explaining the right way to dry blue jeans.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Wash the jeans in the washing machine using your favorite detergent.

2. Place the blue jeans in the dryer on high for about 10 minutes only.

3. Hang them on a line outside to dry in the warm sun.

4. Use the drying machine on low if you are not able to hang the jeans outside to dry in the sun.

5. Lay the wet jeans over a rack and allow them to air-dry overnight. This is another way to dry jeans if you do not want to dry them in the dryer.

6. Take your jeans to the dry cleaner for washing and drying.

Tips & Warnings

• Wear your jeans two or three times before washing them. If they do not have any visible dirt on them and don't stink, they should be okay to wear. Rewearing your jeans helps save water.
• Wash jeans together. Do not wash them with other clothes or with towels.
• Drying jeans on high in the dryer will cause them to shrink. Dry them on low if you must use a dryer.
• Make sure to clean out the lint trap after each drying cycle. Failure to clean the lint trap will cause the machine to malfunction and not properly dry your clothes.
