Care policy

Introduction:

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of athletic apparel, it is imperative to adhere to the following comprehensive care guidelines.

General Maintenance:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wash sportswear frequently to remove sweat, dirt, and bacteria.

  • Appropriate Laundering Techniques: Utilize cold water and a gentle cycle, avoiding bleach or fabric softeners.

  • Avoid Overloading: Prevent overstuffing the washing machine to allow garments to move freely and clean effectively.

Specific Fabric Considerations:

  • Synthetic Materials: Machine wash on a cool setting, using a mild detergent intended for synthetic fabrics. Air dry to minimize shrinkage and pilling.

  • Natural Materials: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Dry flat or on a delicate setting in the dryer.

  • Compression Garments: Follow specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Stain Removal:

  • Sweat and Body Oils: Remove fresh stains by rinsing with cold water. Avoid using hot water, which can set the stain.

  • Grass and Dirt: Treat stains with a stain remover specifically designed for athletic fabrics.

  • Blood: Soak affected area in cold water, then apply a hydrogen peroxide solution.

Drying:

  • Air Drying: Air dry sportswear whenever possible to prevent excessive heat damage.

  • Machine Drying: If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest possible heat setting. Avoid over-drying, which can lead to shrinkage and wear.

Storage:

  • Hanging: Hang sportswear on hangers or a drying rack to prevent wrinkles and extend garment life.

  • Folding: Fold sportswear loosely and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area.

Additional Recommendations:

  • Inspect Garments Regularly: Periodically examine sportswear for signs of wear or damage.

  • Follow Manufacturer's Instructions: Refer to the manufacturer's care labels for specific guidelines on individual garments.

  • Professional Cleaning: Consider professional cleaning for heavily soiled or heavily used sportswear to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
