How do I keep my jeans from wrinkling?

Question

These jeans have probably been washed 5 times, but every time they get washed and dried, they end up wrinkled regardless of how fast I take them out of the dryer. I was them in cold and dry perm press. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Try using a little fabric softener in the wash load. And when you transfer them from the washer to the dryer, instead of tossing them in as a ball of jeans, try shaking them out so the legs aren't all rolled up. These two tricks do seem to help.

Answer 3

It's possible that you are overfilling your machines. Jeans usually don't wrinkle so bad. Some tips: After washing them, give them a good shake before putting them in the dryer. That will help get some of the wrinkles out. Then, make sure to get them out of the dryer promptly, and fold or hang them up right away. This will be the best bet in keeping the wrinkles out. When all else fails, iron them.

Answer 5

First off with jeans you wash them wrong side out. If you have an agitator washer they wear down the fabrics on clothing. Next wash them seperate from all of your other laundry. After they have finished washing put them right side out and grab the waist on the left and the bottom of the jeans. Pop them out straight until there are no wrinkles. Repeat for the other leg. Use three dryer sheets and dry for fifty minutes on regular cycle.

Answer 6

Before putting them in dryer, make sure to grab them by the waist and shake them out, making sure the legs are not twisted from the spin cycle. Then place them in the dryer.

BUT!

It is really best to wash the jeans inside out in cold, and hang dry them. This way your preserve the indigo washes and structure. ALso, wash your jeans only when they start to smell OR you spill something on them. This could be like every 1-2 months.

THis works best with quality denim products.

Answer 7

don't dry with other clothes and shake them out before throwing in dryer and if they do wrinkle a good spray of wrinkle release made by downy is good too

Answer 8

Wrinkling is caused by the combination of heat and pressure. For example, if permanent press fabrics are rinsed in warm water, the spin portion of the cycle applies pressure to the warm fabrics and causes wrinkling. If the same permanent press fabrics are rinsed in cold water, one element of the heat/pressure combination is removed and wrinkling is less.

In another example, when warm clothes in the dryer are allowed to sit at the end of the cycle, the weight of the items can press wrinkles into each other. To help offset this, many dryers offer a longer cool-down (no-heat) period at the end of the Permanent Press cycle to help ensure the clothes are cooled down before the dryer stops. It is also important to remove the items immediately at the end of the cycle.

Fabrics made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen have greater tendency to wrinkle during normal wear and laundering. Even after proper laundering, ironing is usually needed for these fabrics. (Sorry!)

The prevention of wrinkling begins by removing the heat/pressure combination from the laundry process. For wrinkle-free laundering results, we recommend the following:

In The Washer

Use a Permanent Press cycle, especially if washing in hot water. Permanent Press cycles are designed to minimize wrinkles.
Load a top load washer loosely with dry, unfolded clothes up to the top row of holes in the washtub for a maximum load. Too many items in the washload will prevent free circulation in the washer and will cause wrinkling. For a front load washer, do not pack the tub tightly. The tub can, however, be packed completely full.
Always use at least the Medium water level when washing permanent press and manufactured fibers. These items must have room to circulate freely in the washtub.
Avoid laundering heavy permanent press items such as work clothes and heavy pants or jackets with lighter permanent press items such as shirts or blouses. The weight of the heavier items can press wrinkles into the other items in the load.
Use a rinse-added fabric softener such as Downy to make fabrics smooth and reduce wrinkling.
Avoid using the "Max Extract" option for Easy Care/Perm Press clothing with a front load washer. The extended length of time at high spin speed may cause wrinkles to form.
In The Dryer

Always use the Permanent Press cycle. This cycle provides a longer cool-down period to cool the fabrics before they stop tumbling.
Use the proper temperature and dryness setting and avoid overdrying. Excess heat can result in wrinkled fabrics.
Be sure to remove fabrics from the dryer immediately when the tumbling stops. Otherwise wrinkles can occur from the weight of the clothes lying on top of each other.
Dry only a single washer load. We do not recommend combining loads for drying as this will overload the dryer and result in uneven drying and wrinkling.
If only one or two items are being dried, add a few similar items to ensure proper tumbling.
If an item has heat-set wrinkles from laundering, it will need to be ironed to restore a smooth surface.
If all the recommendations are followed and wrinkling still occurs, it is possible the permanent press or wrinkle release finish on the fabric has deteriorated due to normal wear and ironing will be necessary.

Answer 9

You should check the tag for any special washing instructions, I'm sure that you have. Wash them in warm or hot water and dry them at high heat. Most jeans are cotton and it higher temperatures won't hurt them.
