I'm no longer on Facebook. But please use it and credit it to the iron heart forum. @mikebarhoot

Will do.

Very happy with this method. It's the cleanest my jeans have felt (if you know what I mean) since they were new. I used the hottest water I could get out of the tap instead of cold water. Other than that I followed the washing directions spot on. Way better wash than a machine, plus less Indigo loss and no weird white streaks. Also the wife wasn't complaining about a blue washing machine[emoji847] pretty happy with the results!

You might find it at a True Value hardware store.

@Brock I'm interested to know what you thought of the smell of the soap. I think it smells okay, and one guy says it stinks… what did you think?
-
It Didn't bother me at all… I sorta liked the smell. It's different tho

Yeah, and it's gone after a day or so.

Interesting thread, thanks gents.
I currently either rinse my denim with lukewarm water in the shower if only a quick rinse is needed or a soak in the bath with mild soap.
Straightening out and hanging to dry is key for me. -
Do you do that whilst wearing them? I've read Fanya washes his in the shower too. And I wonder if that means while they are being worn…
I'd do that but my jeans are always really dirty and smelly.
-
No, not while wearing them. Usually light soiling mud, dust maybe some food and drink especially if one of my young kids sits on me to eat!
I use the pressure from the shower head to wash dirt off. I dont usually get too much bleeding, like you do if you soak for a while.

Does hand washing eliminate the creases on the back leg?

Are you referring to the honeycombs or are you referring to the creasing you can get from machine washing?

Honey comb

If anything it helps keep the creases consistent.

Guys,
I have a question. According to IH, the 25oz should soak or wash before use . Attached instructions for XHSWhat do you guys do? I have yet to soak or wash and it has been good three weeks now. Am I doing something wrong ? Should I soak or wash?
Honestly I ignored the instruction upon jeans arrival. Last night I read and little confused .
