Experience in preserving sportswear for a long time

 

Sports have been the best method of promoting human health for decades. To make people more comfortable when exercising, manufacturers have launched many beautiful sportswear products at affordable prices. Although washing or using is easy, to save money on shopping, you should still know a few tips to preserve this type of clothing.

 

1. How to wash standard sports clothes

To properly wash sportswear, you should not put them in the washing machine. This is the wrong way to do it, leading to a situation where the clothes quickly lose their form and change color after a few uses. So how to wash properly?

- For the first time washing, wash the sportswear by hand with water. Be careful not to add soap. Because soap has a very strong detergent. The more often you use soap, the faster your clothes will fade.

- In the following washes, you should not wash sports clothes in the washing machine. The reason is that they are often made from polyester and cotton or mixed fibers, washing in a washing machine will deform the fibers, making the clothes quickly age and fade.

- Before washing, you can soak the clothes for 10 minutes with warm water. This helps the dirt to quickly wash out. When soaked in warm water, you only need to rub it a few times to make the clothes clean because Polyester material does not have the ability to hold water and dirt as high as cotton clothes.

- Wash clothes in cold water. Absolutely do not pour hot water directly on the clothes if you do not want to lose the form of the clothes.

- Do not use a washing brush to rub on clothes, or soak clothes for too long if you do not want the fabric to be frayed or scratched.

- Limit the use of soap, do not use other chemicals with high detergent properties while washing.

2. How to maintain standard sports clothes

- In order for good sports clothes not to quickly deteriorate after a short time, you also need to have the right preservation methods. Specifically:

- Do not expose clothing to direct sunlight. They should be dried in a cool, dry place.

- If you find sports clothes wrinkled, you should note that "spinning" the clothes by hand more gently for the next wash. It's best to shake out your sportswear and let them dry on their own. This type of product has the ability to dry very quickly compared to ordinary clothes.

- You may only use a steam iron/iron with polyester clothing.

- Should wash clothes immediately after use to avoid odors and mold.
