How to Care for Soft Activewear Fabrics

Soft activewear lasts longer when it is washed gently. A few simple habits can help your yoga wear keep its shape, stretch, and smooth feel.

Wash cold and gentle

Use cold water and a gentle cycle where possible. Turn garments inside out before washing to reduce friction on the outer surface.

Avoid high heat

High heat can affect stretch fabrics over time. Air drying is usually the safest choice. If you use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting and remove pieces promptly.

Skip harsh products

Avoid bleach and strong softeners. They can leave residue or weaken stretch fibers. A mild detergent is enough for regular care.

Separate rough items

Wash activewear away from zippers, hooks, towels, and rough fabrics that may cause rubbing or snags.

Store with care

Fold soft pieces or hang jackets and tops neatly. Keeping garments dry and clean between wears helps preserve the fabric feel.
