It is important only to understand the types of denim, to study the precautions and - forward, save your favorite thing! With the procedure to reduce jeans at home even an inexperienced hostess can cope.

Why is the procedure

Why reduce jeans, if there is enough choice in clothing stores? Firstly, not all of us are perfect, and often picking up pants for a figure becomes a big problem. It's wide in the belt, it's narrow in the lower leg, and you have to sew it up, remove the length. Due to special washing conditions, you can adjust the model you liked.

Secondly, not all types of denim are distinguished by wear resistance. Reduce the size of the pants will have if they stretched. The product itself looks good, the figure emphasizes, only elongated knees all spoil. Someone does not want to get ruined by new pants every time there is a problem of pulling out old ones. And the procedure will help those who abruptly lose weight.

At home, you can make things smaller by one size with just washing. At 2 sizes to reduce the thing is unlikely to work, in such cases it is better to resort to a sewing machine.

Types of denim

Jeans are different: black, white, wide and narrow, expensive and not very. It is the type of fabric that affects the price tag of the product and the way it is handled:

1. Jeans from the classic denim - not the most budgetary purchase. But these pants will be served by faith and truth for several years. How to determine if this is a denim? It is made by interlacing two threads, and it always has a white on the wrong side. Material for denim - cotton from Mexico, Barbados or Zimbabwe. The exclusive properties of this fabric is that the product sits clearly on the figure, as if sewn to order by individual measures. These jeans are unlikely to have to be washed with a view to reducing.
2. Jeans - fabric from Indian and Asian cotton. Such products are cheaper than real denim, but they can be of different density. A good jeans is quite dense, rubbed on the knees. Do these jeans sit down? Depends on the material. Asian jeans are hard to shrink. After washing, it coarsens and decreases slightly, but soon it recovers in size. Especially careful to handle jeans from Indian cotton: it is thinner than Asian and napy to the touch. If such an article sits down, then in all directions. Not only will the width of the belt change, but the length and volume of the pants.
3. Jeans stretch are made of natural fabric with the addition of synthetic lycra. Such products fit well around the figure, but they are not so easy to plant by conventional methods. If the product is stretched, then the shrinkage procedure will act for a maximum of a couple of days, and then the panties will return the original appearance.
4. "Summer" jeans - so thin material that fully justifies its name. Some things can not be carried and season. They are called jeans conditionally: in fact, it is a dyed cotton under a jeans( cotton), the interlacing of threads is not like a real jeans. A thin product is quickly wiped off, and it is not advisable to wash it in hot water or boil it: the fabric will definitely sit down and it will not stretch any more.

Important
Remember: if you do not follow the precautions, you risk ruining the product. Do all the manipulations with caution, ask advice from experienced girlfriends.

We reduce jeans: machine wash

The method is suitable for products made from natural fabric: real denim and jeans. The composition should be, if not 100, at least 70-80 percent cotton. Durable and dense fabric washing in the washing machine will not cause any particular harm. But products with synthetic fabric components are not recommended for washing: they will stretch out even more or sit down so that they completely lose their shape.

Despite the fact that denim is highly durable, it is not necessary to abuse the shrinkage procedure. Jeans from frequent washing will fade and lose marketable appearance.

Council
To make expensive jeans do not become clothes for giving, give them a rest, that is, wash in a gentle mode at low temperatures.

There may be a small percentage of synthetics in the denim fabric. This complicates the shrinkage procedure. What can I do to reduce these pants? Wash them in intensive mode at a temperature of 80-90 degrees, use accelerated spin. You can plant jeans if you wash them this way several times without putting it on.

The author of the site "Miss Purity" recommends testing things from real denim. First you need to wash your jeans in hot water, but not for long. Choose the express mode of the washing machine, that is, up to 30 minutes. If nothing has happened to the product, you can experiment on a large scale.

Hand wash

A safer way. To make the jeans smaller, follow these steps:

1. Soak them in very hot water for 20-30 minutes. Be careful, do not burn yourself!
2. Use very cold water for rinsing. This "contrast shower" will make jeans already. Just move your pants from cold water to hot several times.
3. If time allows, you can soak the product overnight in cold water, and in the morning wash it in hot.
4. Well wring out the jeans.
5. Dry them on a flat surface.

Jolly way: jeans will sit down, if you bathe in the tub right in them! After bathing, rinse the pants and dry.

Cooking jeans

Instead of washing your pants, you can weld them, as women did in Soviet times. This procedure is guaranteed to reduce the size of the thing, but will also affect its color. If you like blue-gray divorces and boiled shade, then boldly proceed. If not, the method does not suit you.

1. Take a large saucepan and fill it with water.
2. Why weld jeans? Add detergent: powder or usual soap. The solution should turn out to be saturated.
3. Put the clothes in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook over low heat for about half an hour. Bonus: thanks to this washing it is possible not only to reduce the size of the product, but also to get rid of old dirt.

Council
To avoid the appearance of strong divorces, turn the thing inside out.

Drying properly

Jeans can sit down and after normal washing, if properly dried. The main thing is to shorten the drying time. If the thing dries for a long time, the fibers of the fabric manage to do away. Do this:

• place washed clothes near a heat source: batteries, stoves, or simply lay out on the street so that the sun's rays hit it;
• place a cloth under the product that absorbs moisture well;
• use the automatic dryer.

So that the thing does not burn out from the sun, dry it, turning it inside out. If the pants are dried on the fabric, take the one that does not mind, because jeans can shed. When drying on the battery, it is also recommended to lay a thin fabric so that there are no dirty yellow stains on the product. To reduce only the width of the trousers, for drying, hang them on clothespins. Their own weight will not allow them to become shorter.

Precautions and advice

1. Do not boil and do not wash things at high temperatures, decorated with rhinestones and lace. The decor will definitely suffer.
2. It should be understood that after the procedure will change not only the width, but also the length of the trousers. If you buy a thing for a larger size, then take with a margin of length.
3. If the item has stretched in certain places and began to shine, for example, on the knees, wipe them with a tampon moistened with ammonia, then apply to these places a gruel from detergent and then wash it in the usual way.
4. Sometimes it is advised to take stretch jeans a size smaller, because they quickly stretch. However, too narrow pants do not allow the skin to breathe, squeeze blood vessels. Make your choice wisely, do not get too tight jeans. You can buy new ones, if the old ones are stretched out. But health will not be harmed.
5. The product can be severely shed. Be careful, so as a result, instead of bright blue do not get dirty gray pants.
6. What can I do to keep my jeans from stretching as long as possible? The first rule: buy a quality denim or jeans. And if you liked the fine synthetic pants, then strictly follow the rules of care indicated on the label. If the stretch jeans are stretched, then they can not return the original form.

If the product has become out of size or has lost its appeal, do not despair! Armed with our advice and try to bring the items back to life.
