How to Care for Dark Activewear
Black and dark activewear is easy to style, but it benefits from simple care habits. Gentle washing helps reduce lint, fading, and surface wear.
Wash inside out
Turn dark pieces inside out before washing. This helps protect the outer surface and keeps the color looking cleaner for longer.
Use cold water
Cold water is usually the safest option for stretch fabrics and dark colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.
Separate lint-heavy items
Wash dark activewear away from towels, fleece, and rough fabrics. This helps reduce lint and surface friction.
Air dry when possible
High heat can affect stretch and fabric feel. Air drying is a simple way to protect soft activewear over time.
