Don’t like the feeling of tight jeans out of the dryer? Hate your denim fading in the wash? Consider putting your Calvins in the freezer.

Freezing your jeans won’t remove stains, but it will kill bacteria (and smells!) without shrinking the fabric.

Here’s what you’ll need:

One pair of jeans (dirty)
A big plastic baggie.
A freezer
A day-one week to spare (depending who you ask)

What to do:

Fold jeans, insert into baggy. Make sure there is no leaky things in your freezer.

Apparently, this works for shoes too. (There’s been some debate about whether freezing jeans actually does anything except remove bacteria.)
