How to Wash Levis Shrink to Fit Jeans
- 1). Fill your tub with water. If you want the jeans to shrink a lot, use hot water, but if you love the fit the way it is, use cold water and add 1 cup of vinegar. Warm water is a happy medium for those wanted a little shrinkage.
- 2). Add a cap full of organic, liquid soap, such as Dr. Bronner's.
- 3). Place the jeans in the tub and allow them to soak for 20 minutes.
- 4). Remove the jeans from the water and hang them where they can drip dry until they are damp, but no longer dripping water.
- 5). Put the pants on while they are damp and sit by a fire or walk around outside if it's really warm outside until they dry. The jeans will keep their shape after you take them off.
