The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Activewear

Your activewear is a performance tool. Treat it right and it will stay breathable, supportive, and ready for hundreds of workouts.

Washing Tips

• Cold water: Protects elasticity and color.
• Gentle detergent: Skip fabric softeners—they clog wicking fibers.
• Wash inside out: Preserves prints and finishes.
• Mesh bags: Prevent snags for bras and leggings.

Drying Tips

• Air dry: Heat breaks down stretch fibers.
• Flat racks: Keeps leggings from warping.
• Shade over sun: Prevents fading.

Storage Tips

• Fold, don’t hang: Avoid stretching straps and waistbands.
• Dry before storing: Moisture invites odor.
• Dedicated drawer: Keeps technical fabrics snag-free.

Stubborn Odor Fixes

• Vinegar boost: Add 1 cup white vinegar in the wash.
• Baking soda soak: 1–2 tbsp in cool water for 30 minutes.
• Prompt wash: Don’t let sweaty gear sit in a bag.

Common Care Mistakes

• Using fabric softener (blocks breathability).
• High-heat drying (damages stretch).
• Overloading the machine (poor rinsing leads to odor).
