Washing techniques for denim jeans

Abstract Denim garment and jeans washing is a well established process for producing fashion items for leisure wear. The evolution of denim washing and the different washing techniques are discussed in this chapter. New environmentally friendly processes, which are leading to zero effluent discharge, are identified. In addition, the machines used to achieve different washing effects are reviewed. Quality issues such as the factors affecting washing and problems associated with denim garment washing are also provided as reference points for practical usage and quality assurance.
