Cold water.   Hot water will make it all linty and it won't come out right.

Answer 4

COLD WATER

Answer 5

Cold water is supposed to be used to set the color in any color be it red, black, or blue.  I would wash it alone for the first few washes in cold.

Answer 6

Wash them inside-out, which also prevents fading.  Use cold water.  The vinegar idea is really good, too!

Answer 7

I've never heard of anyone washing jeans in anything but cold.

Answer 8

I have always had a black pair of pants or new blue jaens to wash !

Pull them inside out...wash in cold water and put 1/4 cup of vinagar in the water to set the color...in the wash water not the rinse water. I usually do this the first couple of times. after that its set for life :)

Answer 9

Use coldwater cycle, coldwater rinse, hang jeans up to dry.  I use my shower curtain rod to hang my jeans up.  That way they won't fade or shrink.  Good luck!!!

Answer 10

cold water because hot makes them dingy and wear out faster  :)

Answer 11

Cold water. Hot water fades jeans. :)

Answer 12

To set color, wash according to the label directions and add 1-2 cups of white distilled vinegar to your final rinse and stop the machine and let set for about 15-30 minutes and then resume.  Color should be set.  Hope this helps you!  Good luck!
