A popular and casual dyed fabric most commonly used to make jeans.

Wash them once every 10 wears at most to maintain fit and prevent too much "rebound".

Use a damp cloth or old toothbrush with mild soap to remove small stains instead of washing them.

To wash denim, a gentle machine wash at 30°C or lower is ideal. There are also specialist detergents available.

Hang out to dry, as heat from a tumble dryer could cause shrinkage. The weight of the denim will help to pull out any creases. Avoid using an iron as heat can weaken the fibres.
