Fabric Composition: Henne denim is made from 100% cotton twill, a durable fabric that can withstand regular machine washing. While washing denim is perfectly fine, washing it less frequently will extend its lifespan and reduce your environmental impact.
Extend Wear Between Washes: To reduce the frequency of washes, consider airing, steaming, or spot cleaning stains, which will help you get more wears out of your denim. Depending on how frequently you wear it, aim to wash every 4–6 weeks.
Turn Inside Out: Always turn your jeans inside out before washing to protect the fabric from fading and prevent snagging on other items.
Gentle Wash: Machine or hand wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Cold water helps preserve the color and shape of the denim.
Wash with Similar Colours: To avoid colour transfer, wash denim with similar colours.
Drying: Lay denim flat to dry in the shade. Hang denim inside out, out of direct sunlight. Avoid draping it over a clothesline or drying rack, as this can cause uneven fading or lines in the fabric. Use pegs or a hanger to hang the garment and avoid pooling of dye. For a softer feel, steam or iron the garment inside out.
Handle Belt Loops with Care: Never pull your jeans up by the belt loops, as this can cause damage to the fabric.
Avoid Tumble Drying: Tumble drying can shrink and damage the fibres of your denim, so it's best to avoid it.
Skip Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softeners, as they can negatively affect the denim’s texture and durability.
Spot Clean Stains: Treat stains immediately by gently cleaning the affected area with cool water and a small amount of detergent.
Deodorise Your Denim: Use denim-specific antibacterial sprays to prevent odour-causing bacteria. Alternatively, hang your denim inside out in a well-ventilated area (but not in direct sunlight) to freshen it up.
Cold Water Wash: Wash denim in cold water to prevent fading and shrinkage. Turning it inside out further helps protect the fabric.
Use Denim-Specific Detergents: While regular detergent works, using a denim-specific detergent (preferably chlorine-free) will help maintain the fabric's integrity.
