How do you care for Denim and Co. pants, capris, crops, pedal pushers, etc?

I throw mine in the washer on warm then in the dryer on delicate. How do you care for yours? Thought I would ask before I get mine out for the summer and wash my new ones! I ordered some pedal pushers!

I don't put any of my clothes (except panties and nighties) in the dryer. And that includes all of my D&Co clothes. Never. I wash on warm, rinse with cold, and hang everything up to dry. Sometimes I pull and shape the items. If I have any wrinkles that I want to get rid of, after the clothes are totally dry, I put them in the dryer on the wrinklerid cycle.

I wash in warm water, rinse in cold water /normal cycle. Dry on medium heat unless the tag states special instructions. I am not spending all day on laundry. My items have held up well.

I wash all of my clothes separate from my family (except undergarments). I like all of my clothes washed in the hand wash setting. My D&C pants I dry on delicate to get them mostly dry and then lay them flat to dry the rest of the way. I lay all of my SG liquid knit flat to dry (no dryer at all). Jeans, yoga pants, sweatshirts on hand wash and low heat dry.

I never dry my clothes completely dry. I hang them up to dry after they are in the dryer for a few moments. Some things I wash on delicate and some on permanent press cycle.

I wash all my clothes in cold. Put in the dryer on low, just for a few moments to get wrinkles out. Then, I hang all to dry.

I've become a fan of the detergents made for dark colors. The do seem to help keep colors brighter, longer.

I wash everything in cold. I put tops on hangers and pants/crops on pant hangers to air dry. I drape shorts on my drying rack. Never put any in the dryer. It's rare, but I have been known to iron something from time to time. I usually pull it straight before it dries or I've been experimenting with wrinkle release spray. Fabrics have changed. I have more wrinkles these days than ever before. I haven't changed what I'm doing.

I guess I am the only one who doesn't take special care....mine go in on regular wash...cold water....rinse in cold water...then throw in the dryer on high....

Have been buying D&co for years and have always laundered them that way...and no harm has come to them....they all still look just like the day I got them....

I am another that washes all of MY clothes in cold, gentle cycle, dry about halfway and then hang. I am most concerned about things shrinking and looking washed out, and this routine seems to work for me. Hubby does his own laundry -- warm water, dries all the way and then some!

This is fascinating! I've found some new things to try. I don't know about wrinkle release things either--so that is news to me. Do any of you have steam washers or dryers? We are looking at those.
