Freeze Your Pants

No silly, you have to put them in a sealed bag.  (But I'll have one of those Mitey Bites!)

A few years ago, Linda read an article like this about taking care of your jeans.  She has a few pairs that are expensive, and she was dry cleaning them.  No more!  After reading the scientific study about the man who wore his jeans everyday for one year... without washing them.... she was on board.  Basically, you freeze your jeans.  Yep, like in your kitchen freezer.  You have to dust them off, spot clean them if needed, then put them is a big plastic bag.  You squish all the air out and pop them in the freezer overnight.  The cold temps actually kill all the bacteria and germs (backed up in the lab studies during the 1-year experiment.)  It will keep the denim looking brand new forever!  Obviously, if you wore them mucking a barn or running a Tough Mudder, you want to wash them.  For Linda's day to day activities, this works just fine.  For step by step instructions:
