How to dry a yoga sports vest?

When drying yoga sports vests, it is necessary to combine the material properties and usage requirements, and adopt scientific methods to extend the lifespan of the clothes and maintain their functionality. The following are the specific steps and precautions:

First of all, after washing, avoid wring out the yoga sports vest forcefully, as excessive twisting may damage the elastic fibers of the fabric, causing the garment to deform or lose its elasticity. It is recommended to gently squeeze out the excess water with both hands, or wrap the vest with a clean dry towel and absorb the water by pressing.

When drying, give priority to choosing a place with good ventilation and away from direct sunlight. Although ultraviolet rays in sunlight have a sterilizing effect, prolonged exposure to the sun can cause the fabric of yoga vests to harden and fade, especially those containing elastic fibers such as spandex and nylon. If conditions permit, you can hang the vest in a well-ventilated indoor area, such as the inside of the balcony or beside the window. If it is necessary to dry the vest outdoors, it is recommended to choose the morning or evening when the sunlight is weaker. Use a hanger with clips and hang the vest upside down (with the collar facing down). This can prevent the hanger from widening the collar and allow the moisture to evaporate more evenly.

For yoga vests with prints or decorations, special attention should be paid to the way they are dried. The printed part should avoid direct contact with the clothes hanger to prevent the print from cracking or peeling off. You can fold the vest in half and then dry it, but make sure there are no obvious creases at the folded part. If the vest has shoulder pads or special designs, it is recommended to use a dedicated clothes drying net to lay it flat for drying to maintain its shape.

In addition, during the drying process, it is necessary to avoid hanging it together with other dark-colored clothes to prevent staining. If there are stubborn stains on the vest that have not been completely cleaned, you can gently wipe the stained area with white vinegar or baking soda solution before drying it, but make sure to rinse it thoroughly after treatment.

Finally, after the yoga vest is completely dry, it should be stored in time. To avoid shoulder deformation caused by prolonged hanging, you can fold the vest and put it in the wardrobe or drawer. If it needs to be stored for a long time, it is recommended to put it in a dust-proof bag and add a desiccant to keep the clothes dry.
