that looks more like you dried something RED...a lot of times you will find a blue tint on a drum, from washing blue denim jeans in cold water, and then drying them.....
what do your clothes look like after a cycle......they would be coated severely in grease if that was the case.... or then again, how much grease did you use?....a very light coating on the shaft is all that is needed... |

My dryer has a stainless steel drum but the inside of the door is white and I've noticed the blue stain, which should be the right temperature for washing jeans and reduce fading? |

denim will fade no matter what....slowing it down is the key....
your going to lose dye each time you wash, most times you will see the water turn dark blue the first few times you wash new jeans..... most times best to wash inside out, in warm, a short wash, or a wash/soak....if your using a FLer there is less chance of wear.....cold rinses.... I have come across white dryer drums tinted with a lot of blue.....after about a month or two of regular laundry practices, the blue will fade from the drum... to keep my black jeans darkest for the longest....always turn inside out...first two washes are full cycles....after that, basically they just need a freshening, a rinse and spin, with maybe a teaspoon of detergent.....then dry on LOW... |

learned long ago, oil will dribble and sling from rollers, and especially onto the hot intake of a gas burner, no fire, but will smoke heavily....
just a dab-will-do-ya of grease on the post is all that is needed..... either way, grease or oil, both can be sticky and attract lint...can't always avoid that... but at the looks of that drum, if greased was used and that's the cause, all I can think what the heck was done, did someone dunk the whole machine into a petroleum factory? |

That's exactly my procedure to wash jeans Inside out Warm / Cold Permanent press cycle Low temperature tumble dry I does slow down fading, but wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing or there was a better way to keep my jeans in a good shape, thank you so much for the advice |

Thanks. Can I prevent fading by hand-washing jeans, then hanging them out to dry? |

the only way I know of not fading denim.....
don't wash.... or dryclean..... you can reduce fading, but not eliminate.... factors also include the fabric itself....or rather the quality of the garment...apples and oranges Carhartt and Calvin Klein jeans really seem to hold up well.....your mileage may vary... Walmart and generic brands, like Rustler, don't hold up as well.... |

nothing like sliding on a warm pair of jeans fresh out of the dryer on a cold day....
except for those rivets on the pockets, that's like a branding iron...lol

The fading and ageing process of jeans that comes with normal wearing and washing used to be a desired effect because it gave our jeans personality.
Today they get sand blasted and holes are ripped in at the factory to give them a fashionable fake personality. But once in our closets they mustn`t change their looks anymore. Weird, isn`t it ? |
