Sportswear is often made from synthetic materials such as nylon, polyester, elastane, or rayon because of their stretch and quick-dry qualities. These are a few care tips you can follow to keep the performance quality of your garments in good shape for a longer time.
- Make sure you read the product care label before washing. Here is a table with the commonly used symbols and their meaning.
- Prevent damp or sweat smells from setting into your clothes. Check our five steps to preventing and removing bad smells from your clothes for some easy recommendations.
- Synthetic materials should be washed maximum at 40° and spun gently. Warmer water could cause shrinkage, permanent wrinkles on prints or fading.
- Line dry your clothes as it’s the easiest way to be kind with the fiber. Heat could lessen the elasticity over time and lose support. Synthetic materials tend to dry very quickly on their own, so in most cases there is no need to tumble dry.
- Store away from prolonged sunlight and heat to avoid discolor or degradation.
