How to restore the shape of stretched jeans: they will look like new

Jeans are a versatile wardrobe staple and the foundation for many outfits. They have maintained their relevance and popularity for decades, equally adored by men and women, young people, children, and the elderly.

Many individuals have favorite jeans that may have become stretched and lost their shape over time. Before hastily discarding them, OBOZREVATEL has uncovered an effective life hack that can help restore the shape of stretched jeans.

This method, widely used worldwide, involves boiling the jeans for 20-30 minutes. However, caution is advised as boiling comes with its drawbacks. There's a risk that the color may lighten by several tones or result in the "boiled" spotted jeans effect.

To restore the shape of your jeans, take a large saucepan or metal bucket, fill it with water, and add 1 tablespoon of laundry detergent. Place the pot over medium heat on the stove and gently immerse the jeans in the water. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and boil the jeans for no more than half an hour. Immediately afterward, rinse them in cold water.

It's essential to note that there may be some size alteration. Experts caution that jeans can shrink by more than one size. Therefore, before boiling your jeans, carefully consider all possible consequences.
