Sportswear is uncomfortable and has a long lifespan. It depends on how you maintain it. Throwing comfortable, expensive equipment in the washing machine along with other clothes will damage its fabric, destroy its antibacterial properties, and make its fibers hard. In the end, it has no advantages except water absorption.
Therefore, proper cleaning is the first step to maximize the value of sportswear. In order to keep your outfits in the best texture and have the longest possible lifespan, come back home after the next exercise, please follow the guidelines below to treat them.
coat
1. Take the dirty clothes out of the backpack, put them in the laundry basket, let the sweat evaporate as soon as possible, and wash them as soon as possible. If you leave the sweat-soaked clothes in your bag and do not wash them in time, it will accelerate the damage.
2. Most sportswear can be treated with washing machines, and the requirements for washing temperature are relatively broad. However, if the label of the clothes says “hand wash”, be sure to stay away from any automatic washing equipment, because the fabric of this kind of clothes is more delicate and may use special craftsmanship. So, don’t be lazy before washing, read the instructions of the clothes first.
3. Avoid abuse of fabric softener. When choosing a detergent, the most suitable ones are those that do not contain fragrances and dyes. Otherwise, the “additives” in the detergent may penetrate into the fibers, harden the fibers, and destroy their sweat absorption and deodorant capabilities. If you can find a special detergent for sports clothes, your equipment can have the longest possible life.
4. If you have a dryer, set a low temperature when drying clothes; do not use desiccants, they will damage the fabric of the clothes.
sports shoes
In the last long run, stepped on the mud? Then you have to spend more time on your shoes. It is recommended to use an old toothbrush and soap to brush off the mud from the shoes a little bit. Don’t use too much force when washing the shoes, so as not to damage the liner, etc., because the latter is of great significance to prevent limbs from being injured during exercise. If your shoes smell great, you might as well spray some deodorant, or you can put newspaper in your shoes after you work out to absorb excessive sweat.
Special reminder: No matter what the condition of the shoes looks like, they must be replaced every 300 to 500 miles (approximately 483 to 805 kilometers). Whether you are running shoes or light training shoes, if you feel uncomfortable with your feet, you have to consider changing your shoes.
Sports underwear
If you just “air dry” your sports underwear after you come back from exercise, that would be a big mistake. Sports bras are similar to ordinary underwear, as long as they are worn on the body, they must be washed with water. It should be noted that it is best to wash sports underwear by hand alone, and do not throw it into the washing machine or mix it with other clothing.
If you are too busy, you must use the washing machine to clean it. Please prepare a water-permeable laundry bag in advance to prevent sports underwear from being damaged by friction with other clothing, especially clothing with metal buttons or zippers. In addition, use cold water to wash, not rushing.
