  • Air Drying: The most gentle method and best for preserving the fabric and avoiding shrinkage. Hang your jeans inside out on a clothesline or drying rack. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Consider using clips or clothespins to secure them. Air Drying can take quite a while, up to 24 hours or more, depending on humidity.

  • Tumble Drying: While faster, this method can cause shrinkage and fading, especially with high heat. If you must use a dryer, tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. Consider adding wool dryer balls to help speed up the process and soften the fabric. Remove the jeans while they are still slightly damp to minimize shrinkage and wrinkles and then continue to Air Drying. Note that the Tumble Drying can vary in its methods.
