Follow these expert-recommended methods to extend the life of your sportswear while keeping it fresh and functional.
Wash your sportswear without fabric softener. It leaves residues that hinder moisture-wicking properties, especially in Lycra blends, slowing sweat evaporation and reducing performance.
Use liquid detergent with a splash of white vinegar for optimal results. Vinegar naturally disinfects, softens fabrics, and neutralizes stubborn sweat odors. Measure detergent sparingly—a little is plenty.
Regular washes not cutting it? Soak items in cold water with a dash of vinegar before your standard cycle.
If odors linger, your sportswear may have reached the end of its lifespan and needs replacing.
