@timmyboy recommend soaking your denim before every wash to prevent future marbling

[Giles]

@wjw - 100%

[brobles]

Any recommendation of soak/washing inside out? Or does it matter?

[Giles]

Inside out

[Alex]

Soak (inside out)
> Let dry
Wash (inside out) at 30C / 85F maximum. Spin setting of 800RPM absolute maximum (we suggest no, or even lower spin)
Let dry (right way out, take your watch off before attempting this)
Wear

Remember to stand on one leg and face north throughout the process.

More seriously, I’ve found that top-loading washing machines have a higher tendency to marble jeans than front-loaders, due to them often bunching/twisting around the central ‘agitator’. If you have a top-loader, try pausing the wash cycle halfway through, and checking that the jeans haven’t become tangled up in some weird way that’s going to enhance localised friction during the agitation phase. Unwanted marbling makes Baby Jesus sad.

@Alex what happens with a hotter wash (besides presumably more shrinkage)?

[j6550]

@RocknRoll yep I do a very light agitation and no spin. Sop up the excess water by laying the pair on old towels.

[Gavin666]

Once washed, lay flat on a towel and then roll tight from the waist. Press all along the roll once rolled. Gets rid of loads of the water and speeds up the drying process massively.

[Alex]

@wjw, in our experience, the chances of marbling increase over 30 °C as well as shrinkage

Arrived getting soak and wash

@timmyboy I marbled my brycelands sawtooth. Badly. Served me a lesson that denim hates agitation and spin. Since than I've learned that temperature matters only for shrink, but it's agitation and spin that marbles denim... Washed anything else on delicate. No spin or 400 so far didn't marble any of my jeans. Did once 800 and felt like super light, almost unnoticeable marbling on one pair.

So I'm sticking to delicate, 400 spin max. First wash 60*, all others 20-30. Uhr I guess according to first post here, I'll do 30-40* first wash too .

Now just hoping DPD won't decide on evening delivery tomorrow!
