Los jeans no se lavan: Levi's

Estados Unidos. 
Chip Bergh, presidente ejecutivo de Levi Strauss & Co., advirtió: "Estos jeans tiene ya como un año y todavía no fueron lavados ni una vez", sobre los pantalones de mezclilla que llevaba puestos durante una conferencia organizada por la revista Fortune.
El CEO de Levi's detalló que los jeans no se deben lavar con frecuencia, si acaso se deben limpiar manchas específicas y dejar que se oreen.
Preocupado por el agua, Bergh, dijo que es importante tomar en cuanta que para lavar unos jeans se necesita casi tanta agua como para fabricarlos, lo que implica un desperdicio importante del vital líquido.
Y es que Levi's está haciendo todo lo posible para ahorrar agua en sus procesos. Hace poco lanzó una línea llamada "WaterLess Jeans" (jeans sin agua), que utilizan menos agua en su proceso de teñido.
Levi's siempre ha recomendado lavar poco los jeans, según destaca el Washington Post, de hecho entre otras recomendaciones, sugieren que los pantalones de mezclilla se laven muy de vez en cuando y para evitar malos olores, se guarden en el refrigerador, junto a nuestros alimentos.
Si no nos creen, busquen en YouTube, incluso hay tutoriales de "congelado de jeans".
Sin embargo, para expertos en microbios congelados como Stephen Craig Cary, de la Universidad de Delaware, sugiere que lo mejor no es congelar los jeans, sino todo lo contrario, subir su temperatura hasta 121 grados Celsius durante 10 minutos, para esto se puede utilizar el horno de microondas.

Uso generalizado de los Jeans






El uso del jeans, incluso entre las clases altas, muestra, por un lado, rasgos que caracterizan a nuestra activa sociedad -dinamismo, pragmatismo, trabajo, competencia, velocidad...- y, por otro, la decisiva influencia ejercida por el país que mejor los representa.

El generalizado uso del jeans es una consecuencia de la hegemonía económica y cultural de los Estados Unidos, que ocupa ahora el lugar que en otro tiempo tuvieron las élites tradicionales para determinar la forma correcta de vestir.
