How to maintain the colour of your jeans

Hello steemains,merry Xmas and a happy new year in advance to you all...I pray we all make it into the new year by God grace.
Black and blue jeans are materials that most of us do use,and I have found out that this jeans dont last because they tend to fade off after washing them 3 or 4 times.
So here is a research I made on how to maintain the colour of you jeans.

1. If you have a dark jeans and you want to keep the colour,wash the jeans in VINEGAR before the first wash.
   Add one cup of your regular household vinegar in your washer and dont add washing detergent and wash in cold water.They will not smell like vinegar,but the vinegar will "seal" the black colour and it will not bleed as easily the be t washes to come
2. If adding vinegar to your brand new jeans sounds crazy to you,try soaking your jeans in a bucket with water and one cup of salt for the same colour sealing effect
3. Washing regularly and especially in hot water will fade your jeans,so try to wash them less often. You can easily get over 5 uses out of them,especially if you air them out often in fresh air.if you want to go extreme :freezing your jeans will also refresh them
   4 Always wash your jeans inside out and with other dark colours.
4. Always wash your jeans in cold water.it will prevent them from fading and from shrinking but especially if you use special cold water detergent and high efficiency washer they still get clean.I recommend using all natural laundry soap,I personally use YOUNG LIVING Thieves laundry soap.
5. Use colour protection washing detergent to keep the colours from fading.
6. Dont dry your jeans in a dryer.if you must,use the lowest temperature .high temperature is bad for the fabric,and while jeans are durable and can take it,it will shorten the lifespan of your jeans.Try to avoid hot water and hot drying if possible.
7. You can get your jeans also dry cleaned and starched to get the same crispy effect-they will look fantastic and stay looking good for several additional uses,but the chemicals in the dry cleaning are bad for the fabric,so it is not reccomended to dry clean your jeans regularly.But this trick is breath especially when you travel,and only want to go along with one pair of jeans.
