How to maintain black jeans

When black jeans fade, it’s noticeable. 

The best way to maintain the black color is to wash them when they’re dirty, not after every wear.

When washing them, turn the jeans inside-out and use a gentle cycle. Then, skip the dryer and let them air dry. 

Once in a while, you can soak your jeans in cold water and a half cup of white vinegar to preserve the black dye.
