How to make old jeans look like new again, try this simple trick

Over time and after many washes, even the jeans that fit you best lose their shape, stretch, and no longer look the way you're used to.

Instead of putting them aside forever or searching for the perfect new pair, there's a simple solution that can restore their former shine.

That said, this method is intended for jeans that do not contain elastin, so it is very important to check the fabric composition before the procedure. If the jeans contain elastin, this trick can have the opposite effect and deform them further.

If your jeans are made of pure cotton or a similar material without elastane, feel free to try this technique. The procedure is simple.

In a large pot, boil water with 100 grams of salt. The salt is essential because it helps preserve the color of the jeans, preventing them from fading during high-temperature cooking.

When the water boils, carefully place the jeans in the pot and let them boil for about ten minutes. Then take them out, drain them, and rinse them with cold water.

Finally, let them air dry naturally. Once they are completely dry, the jeans should regain their firmness and shape, and you will be able to enjoy your favorite outfit again.
