How to Care for Your Activewear.
Share
Activewear is an investment in your health, comfort, and confidence. With proper care, you can extend its life and keep it looking and performing its best. Here’s how:
1. Wash Smart, Not Often
Over washing can wear down fabric. If your gear isn’t drenched in sweat, air it out and skip a wash. When you do wash, use chilly water and a gentle detergent to protect the material.
2. Skip the Fabric Softener
Fabric softeners can coat performance fabrics, reducing their moisture-wicking and breathability. Stick to a mild detergent instead.
3. Turn It Inside Out
Before washing, turn your activewear inside out to minimise wear on the outer surface and preserve colours and logos.
4. Air Dry Always
Heat from tumble drying can weaken elastic fibres. Lay your activewear flat to dry, or hang it in a well-ventilated area.
5. Separate by Type
Wash your activewear separately from heavy items like jeans or towels to avoid pilling and abrasion.
6. Store It Right
Fold your gear neatly and store it in a dry, cool place. Avoid cramming it into drawers to prevent stretching.
Taking a little extra care can keep your activewear looking fresh and performing well for much longer. It’s simple, sustainable, and worth the effort!
