Wash Challenge
HC-IH-26Ok, Originally I wanted to wash them every 2 months at the minimum. However, that's not always how things work out and since Feb I've been following the wash schedule of wash when dirty.
Here we go.
As these are my daily jeans I rarely remove the stuff from my pockets, since it's wash day, out they come.
Ready to turn inside out front pre wash
and back…it's very dark in my laundry room so apologies for the darkness..
remove cuff bunnies
finally inside out
the old wash notes, this isn't something that I would normally do, but since it was a competition, I figured it may be useful info
small repair I had to do on the inside of my left leg
I like to give them a pre-soak. Only because sometimes due to the weight of them and my water friendly machine, they don't get wet in certain areas.
aaaand in.
bit of detergent, again, nothing fancy at all.
the settings
No spin cycle option
again, because of the water conserving machine, I set my timer to go back and flip them.
back in
done
and outside to drip dry in the sun
Ok,
That was very long and way too many pics, I've missed a few challenges so hopefully this makes up for that…Updates when dry!

I have been on a fieldwork in Borneo for the past 2 weeks and my trusty MBB has been my chosen pair. Snapped some pics,but haven't had the chance to upload. Just now decided to take a quick snap and upload them.
Once I get back I will post proper pics and pics of the place too.very refreshing getting out of the city and into the rainforest.

16th Updates
Wash ChallengeI used to wash them every 3 or maybe 4months, depend on my activity and of course if there's a free time+good sunlight.
Ok now preparing the stuff
There's some thermometer, thunder soap, and detergent
so maybe, why I use thunder soap? idk, my friend give it to me, and I guess why don't give a shot ???And yes a bucket, I prefer wash it by myself because first, there's no washing machine in my dorm,
second, the result of hand washing is more cleaner, you know where the dirty spot is,
and third.. and yes, of course, there's just no washing machine in here, my apologize
Now I set the temperature to 30 degree celcius, I prefer just warm water, since I used my own hand, so please..
Put the thundersoap first, its about 3 teaspoon
Detergent, put it as much as you want
stir it until the bubbles come
tadaaaa
wash it inside out
and just soak 'em for about 30mins-1hour
look at that indigo
after clean them from the bubbles and the soap itself
hang it dry
after 2hrs already dried
more pics coming soon
