How to wash yoga clothes

No matter how much you sweat, we can all guarantee one thing. Gym clothes should be washed regularly and thoroughly!

In a gym environment, workout clothes can come into contact with bacteria from others, sweat and dead skin cells, and other high-risk items that spread germs.

But that doesn't mean you have to cancel and give up your workout. Extra care should be taken when washing these clothes to remove bacteria and prevent your yoga clothes from losing their stretch and shape.

Fitop, a yoga pants manufacturer, helps you understand how to wash your workout clothes thoroughly and gently to maintain hygiene and good shape.

Please dry your clothes

Dry your sweaty clothes before putting them in a basket or laundry bag. If the weather is sunny, move them outside to dry faster, even if you plan to wash them later.

Wash your yoga clothes from the inside out

Washing your yoga clothes inside out has two major benefits. First, all of your sweat and body oils collect on the inside of your yoga clothes, so washing them inside out puts the laundry detergent in direct contact with the surfaces that should be in the most need of cleaning. Secondly, yoga skins are fashionable pieces and functional garments. Washing from the inside out will help maintain the color and style of your jacket and keep it looking new for a long time.

Wash your workout clothes in cold water

The instructions on most yoga clothing labels recommend washing in cold water. This is because washing in cold water prevents shrinkage and fading, extending the life of your yoga skin. For best results, use a detergent specially formulated to treat stubborn sweat stains and bad odors.

Use the right detergent

Cleaning your yoga clothes properly is only half the battle. With the right detergent, your yoga clothes will look clean and fresh every time you wash them. Cold washing requires cold water detergent. If you have sensitive skin, you will also need a laundry detergent for sensitive skin, especially since yoga clothes stick to your skin and laundry detergent can irritate your skin.

Stay away from fabric softeners

The elasticity and moisture-wicking properties of sportswear don't match the coating left by fabric softeners, making it difficult for water and detergents to penetrate the fabric, which allows odor-causing bacteria to build up.

Air-drying sportswear.

Stirring and extreme heat not only damage the fibers of the garment, but also amplify odors. Let your workout clothes air dry. Renew your gym bag with a desiccant. Sometimes gyms can give off the smell of exercise equipment. Putting a few sheets of dryer sheets in your bag is a quick and easy way to solve this problem and make it smell great.

3 Tips for Cleaning Your Sports Bra

Take off your sports bra immediately after training.

Sweat is the ideal environment for bacteria to grow and taking off your sports bra quickly can prevent this from becoming a problem. 

Please wash as soon as possible.

Use the delicate program and place them in a mesh bag for protection in the wash. Put your washing machine back on the delicate cycle and choose a good quality detergent and laundry detergent to make sure all the bacteria are gone.

Hand washing is also an option.

Hand washing your sports bra may be the best way to keep your best friend running. Wipe with a small amount of detergent and rinse thoroughly. Air dry naturally.
