Good sports clothes are often a large investment. Properly nurtured will serve us for years, but many of us still make a few mistakes that destroy our favorite sports sets. Why is this happening?

Sports clothing is made of materials with technical properties. They are often flexible, modeling, absorbing moisture and smells. Incorrect care can disturb and deprive the clothes of all the benefits we care about the most. There are several tricks that will help you extend the "life" of yours favorite leggings and training sweatshirts! First of all, remember to always read the washing instructions on a given product. And besides, stick to our few golden advice!

Fire at low temperature with appropriate detergents!

Sports clothes do not like temperature above 30 degrees, so remember to always wash them in cold water. Most washing machines have a washing program for delicate or sports fabrics - it's worth using it! In addition, watch out for a spin. Fast and intense speed are not the safest solution if you care about the good condition of your clothes. They can extend them up to several sizes, and then they will be totally useless.

Choose delicate detergents for washing, or those dedicated to sportswear. If you have the opportunity, avoid classic washing powders. This is a very strong washing agent that can negatively affect the properties of clothing. In addition, be sure to give up all softening fluids.  The lanolin contained in them, like the powder, is terribly influenced by advanced fiber weaves in technical clothing. 

An important tip is also the fact that clothes should be washed right after training. They should not lie in the laundry too long and wait for their turn. Dried sweat (i.e. salt), just as the strong detergents described earlier can not only a terrible influence on the condition of clothes, but are also an ideal environment for the development of bacteria, which can result in an unpleasant smell that it will be difficult for us to get rid of.

Contact with hot temperature is deadly for clothes. At best, they will lose their properties. In the worst, they will just burn, and this is the last thing we care about buying a dream sports set. 

Also remember that ironing sports clothes simply does not make sense! ;) First of all - they will fit perfectly and will adhere to your body, and secondly the material from which they are made very easily with an iron. Attention! Especially watch out for typically slimming models, with us, among others Leggings Well Shaped and Bottom up.

After washing, just hang the clothes evenly and leave to dry naturally. 

Take care of white things double!

Not only delicate liquids, but also similar colors! White sports tops and Leggings Fake with similar, bright colors with the addition of baking soda or vinegar. They will help you keep their snow -white color for longer. 

Never mock them with clothing that has protruding elements (e.g. a slider, rhinestones, studs) can damage the fabric.


In the case of cotton or viscose knitwear, the matter is slightly more easily facilitated. Here you can use your favorite powder or washing liquid, but also instead of drying in a dryer, choose a classic form. Remember to dry such clothes flat or hung on several strings. Thanks to this procedure, clothes will enjoy your excellent form longer.
