Detergent..

[irbe78]

Wondering if this is the Dr Bronner soap you guys use to wash your jeans. I couldn't find any detergent. Im in toronto and a Yoga store carries it so im going ot make the trip to grab it. Just want to make sure this is the right item im getting. Thanks.

[willy p]

that looks like the same stuff as on the website... i just ordered $20 worth of dr bronner's... 1 8oz bottle of tea tree soap, 1 8oz bottle of lavender soap, 1 bar of tea tree soap, and 1 bar of lavender soap. that should last me for several years (the liquid for my jeans at least).

[irbe78]

Yeah im just making sure. I thought that stuff is what you use to wash yourself. Or is it and you can also use for your jeans.

Its a do-it-all soap. ( hippy soap )

i dont know i do everything that your NOT suppose to do for washing my sammies. i first turn them inside out and i put it in the washing machine at high speed and the hottest water setting and use some regular tide detergent or even the stronger detergents. i wash for about 20 to 30 mins. then i throw the jeans in the dryer in the hot cycle for about 30 mins. sometimes i take them out a lil early when their still a bit damp but usually they come out dry and hot.

you're supposed to turn them inside out. you rebel you.

I use Nancy Boy detergent. It is extremely gentle and the lavender scent is incredible. Highly recommended.

dr. bronners for clothes? any luck?

[Heartworm]

I use anything that doesn't have bleach in it... Doesn't make any difference from my experience. Wear is what matters, washing only removes dirt and loose indigo.

[ChadR]

Does anyone have any suggestions if I want high contrast/to lose color (I like lighter jeans)?

[Heartworm]

High temperature, good quality denim and wear them a long time before you wash.

Thanks-- What happens if I wash them sooner and more frequently?

I think my washing machine might be busted and didn't rinse out my Cougars all they way. They lost some indigo in the wash, but especially since the wash the fades have been coming through kinda scary fast. Would detergent leftover in the denim cause this?

[fashiontard]

has anyone tried this before?

Looks as if it has blue dye or something in it. Maybe that's how they can claim it won't fade your jeans?

I dont know how many of you have a Trader Joes food store by you (they are a US chain) but they had Dr. Bronners in both liquid and bar form at very reasonable prices!

[khoiphan92]

they gots it at target.

[salaami]

dr. bronners is the only thing i'll recommend, but ive used cheap household cleaners, murphy's oil soap, dish detergent, and everything else under the sun...but use bronners, you'll have clean body, and denim. the ultimate soap. any flavor will do.

I usually don't use any soap. Just boiling hot water and dry it in the sun. It usually kills most of the bacteria infesting the jeans. Another thing that helps is to bathe regularly for obvious reasons. (but I get lazy sometimes)

[Opie]

I can't believe anyone besides the complete newbies stil talk about this.. i mean, honestly, who gives a fuck?

[Turntabloid]

is there anyway to get dr. bronners in europe?

[Knoll]

maybe try ebay?

I had to dig up this thread... No point in making another one

I have a couple packets of the SugarCane wash, Does anybody know what I'm supposed to do? I can't read any of it and there are two detergents/"premium care"?

yea there are 2 sachets. one is the detergent the other is the treatment. so you supposed to hand wash your jeans with the detergent, after which you will soak your jeans in the treatment for 30mins. i cant remember the exact amount of water which you are supposed to use, but it does state somewhere on the back of the packet.

the end result, clean and soft jeans!

[guywithpants]

i feel i should mention this don't use boiling water or this happens
