Washing Black Jeans
29 Answers
I put some washing in earlier, including two pairs of black jeans. I always turn them inside out before putting them in the washer , as per washing instructions label. I don't know what difference it makes. The water and the washing powder still get on the inside (outside).
Does it make a difference or should I not bother?

1) Reduce fading.
Jeans and other clothes that contain dark dye that bleeds easily will not fade nearly as quickly if they are washed on cold and washed inside out.
2) Reduce pilling.
Most synthetic fabrics and those with synthetic blends are extremely prone to pilling. By turning the clothes inside out, you reduce friction to the outside surface of the clothes. In turn, the amount of pilling is greatly reduced.
Turning clothes inside out does not result in clothes becoming cleaner. It merely prolongs the life of some types of fabric.
