Clothing Care
-
For polyester with spandex knitted material garments (eg:most cycling wear, yoga clothing, underwear, sports bra):
- We highly recommend:
Air dry, hand wash. Polyester material will last longer if the garments are washed by hand, and dried naturally.
- Machine wash is ok too, but here are some tips :
-
Use cold water
-
Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach
-
Zip up zippers on your jersey, jackets, and etc to avoid scratching the polyester fabric
-
Use a dedicated laundry bag and choose the delicate cycle
-
For polyester woven fabric with water repellent coating products (eg: MTB shorts, ski jacket, windbreak jacket etc ):
Attention: Dry cleaning service usually uses chemical cleaning to get rid of dirt, oil and stains, which will cause damage to the water repellent coating on the products.
-
Cold to 35°C water gentle hand wash
-
Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach
-
Air dry or use low heat dryer
-
Extra special care for technical garments:
-
For rain-specific jackets, coat, you might want to use a water repellent spray each time after wash and less wash to achieve the best effect of water repellent
-
For chamois pad in cycling bottoms, an extra hand wash with soap can avoid bacteria building up in the chamois pads.
