Step-by-Step Washing Guide
1. Sort & Prepare
- Turn garments inside out to protect outer surfaces.
- Wash with similar lightweight fabrics only.
2. Use Cold Water
- Set machine to cold gentle cycle to prevent shrinking and fading.
- Cold water conserves energy and protects performance fibers.
3. Choose Mild Detergent
- Use a gentle or sport-specific detergent.
- Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which damage elasticity and moisture-wicking properties.
Drying & Storage Tips
- Air dry flat to keep garments in perfect shape.
- Avoid direct sunlight to protect color vibrancy.
- Never use high heat in the dryer; heat weakens elasticity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | Impact on Garment |
|---|---|
| Washing with jeans/towels | Friction leads to pilling and abrasion |
| Hot water or high-heat drying | Shrinks fabric and weakens stretch fibers |
| Fabric softeners or bleach | Blocks breathability and moisture control |
| Overloading the machine | Reduces effective cleaning and gentle motion |
