Activewear Care Guide

Thoughtful care can help activewear maintain its fit, feel and appearance for longer. Always follow the care label attached to your garment, as product-specific instructions take priority over this general guide.

Everyday care

  • Wash only when needed and follow the garment care label.
  • Where the label permits, use a gentle cold wash with similar colours.
  • Turn garments inside out before washing to help protect the outer surface.
  • Avoid washing activewear with rough items such as towels, denim, zips or hook-and-loop fasteners where possible.
  • Use a mild detergent and avoid excessive detergent.
  • Do not use fabric softener unless the garment care label specifically permits it.

Drying

Where the care label permits, air drying away from harsh direct heat is generally gentler on stretch fabrics than high-temperature tumble drying. Do not iron or dry clean unless the garment label says it is safe to do so.

After training

Avoid leaving damp activewear compressed in a gym bag for long periods. Allow garments to dry before placing them in the laundry basket if you cannot wash them immediately.

Light colours

Take extra care with pale shades around self-tan, makeup, dark denim, coloured towels and other materials that may transfer pigment.
