How to Wash Your Activewear

Here are some key things to remember when washing activewear:

Pre-treat or soak: For sweaty or smelly clothes, pre-treat with a stain remover or soak them in a mixture of cold water and vinegar for an hour before washing.
Turn inside out: Washing clothes inside out helps clean sweat and dirt more effectively.
Cold water wash: Hot water can damage the fabric and set in odours. Use cold water for the wash cycle.
Gentle cycle: A gentle or delicate cycle is recommended to prevent excessive wear and tear on the delicate fibres.
Mild detergent: Use a mild detergent that's specifically formulated for activewear. Avoid using too much detergent, which can leave residue and trap odours.
Skip the fabric softener: Fabric softener can clog the pores of the fabric and hinder its ability to wick away sweat.
Air dry whenever possible: Hang your activewear to air dry on a drying rack. This will help preserve the elasticity of the fabric and prevent shrinkage. Avoid using high heat settings in the dryer if necessary.
Check the care tag: Always refer to the care tag on your activewear for specific washing instructions.

Following these tips will help you keep your activewear clean, fresh, and lasting for a longer time.
