Quick Answer
Wash inside out in cold water, use a mild detergent, skip fabric softeners, and air dry flat.
These simple steps protect the brushed thermal interior and prevent pilling or shrinking.
Step-by-Step Washing Guide
| Step | What to Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Turn leggings inside out | Protects the soft brushed thermal lining |
| 2 | Use cold water & gentle cycle | Preserves fibers and prevents shrinkage |
| 3 | Add mild detergent only | Keeps moisture-wicking ability intact |
| 4 | Skip fabric softeners & bleach | Avoids coating fibers and reducing breathability |
| 5 | Wash with similar fabrics | Prevents color transfer or abrasion |
👉 For stubborn sweat marks, soak in cold water with a teaspoon of gentle detergent before machine wash.
Drying & Storage Tips
- Air dry flat in the shade. Direct sun or tumble dryers may damage the thermal fibers.
- Do not iron. Heat can crush the brushed inner layer.
- Store folded instead of hanging to avoid stretching at the knees.
