When to Wash Your Activewear

After a workout, your activewear can get damp and smelly. Wash them as soon as you can. If you cannot wash them right away, hang them up to dry. This stops bacteria from growing.

5 Easy Tips for Cleaning Activewear

  • Air Out First: Let your clothes breathe before washing.
  • Wash Separately: Keep activewear apart to protect colors and fabrics.
  • Use Cold Water: Choose a gentle, cold water cycle to keep fabrics safe.
  • Vinegar Soak: Soak clothes in a mix of 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water for 20-30 minutes to remove odors.
  • Air Dry: Hang your clothes to dry. This keeps them soft and long-lasting.

Extra Cleaning Tips

Turn Clothes Inside Out: The inside of your activewear holds most sweat and dirt. Turning them inside out helps clean them better.

Zip Up: Close any zippers before washing to avoid snags.

Liquid Detergent: Use a gentle liquid detergent. It cleans well and is kind to fabrics.

Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can hurt your clothes. Stick with cold water for best results.

Eco-Friendly Drying: Air drying saves energy and helps your activewear last longer.
