I tend to wash them inside out on the cotton/normal setting.  I usually dry on permanent press.

 

My husband throws them in the washer on the permanent press cycle, and drys them on permanent press.

 

So how do you wash them?  Mine get washed every other wearing.  I thought it might be an interesting topic.

I wash all of my jeans on gentle cold, sometimes inside out as it depends on the specific pair or what I am washing with it.  Then I hang dry them.  I don't want them to shrink as I love the fit the way they are and wouldn't wear them if they became too snug.  It's easy for me to hang dry as I use my spare bathroom partly as a laundry room.

Good question.

I wash on cold, put in the dryer for about 5 minutes to remove a few wrinkles, and then hang to dry.

Re: How Do You Wash Jeans?

[ Edited ]

If I buy dark denim jeans, I first do a vinegar/salt soak for several hours/overnight to set the dye.  I will wash them separately for a long time until I'm sure they won't bleed onto other clothing.  

I wear jeans multiple times until they're stretched out or I get something on them. I wash jeans inside out in cold water on permanent press.  I put them in the dryer for 3-4 minutes to get the wrinkles out and then hang them to dry from the waistband on clip hangers.

Inside out on delicate cold, hang to dry.

Inside out on cold gentle cycle. I zip up the zippers and button the buttons if they have them. I wash only two pair at a time.

A low heat setting, and, then hang them up to dry.

I wash in cold water on normal cycle. I dry on the jeans setting until dry. 

DH doesn't do laundry. He's the Chef. LOL!!!

I wash mine in cold water and throw them in the dryer.  They're removed before they're completely dried.

I always wash them inside out in cold water and hang dry. I have my husband trained NEVER to put mine in the dryer! LOL
