Premium activewear deserves premium care.
You invest in quality workout clothing for a reason. The fabrics, compression, and construction matter because they support your body and performance. Taking care of your pieces extends their life, maintains their stretch, and keeps them looking and feeling fresh. It's not complicated, but it does require intention.
Our customers get it. Brittney G. shared, "The Daydream fabric is an absolutely amazing feeling to the body." That feeling only lasts when you care for your pieces properly.
Think of premium activewear maintenance like caring for your body itself.
A little attention goes a long way.
The Best Way to Wash Your Premium Activewear
Step 1: Air Your Clothes First
After your workout, don't immediately throw sweaty pieces into the hamper. Let them breathe. Hang your leggings, sports bras, or tanks for a few hours post-workout. Damp, tightly bunched fabrics create the perfect environment for odor-causing bacteria. A simple air-out step transforms how fresh your gear stays.
Step 2: Wash on Cold, Delicate Settings
We recommend following the care tag instructions on each piece. Cold water is essential. Hot water breaks down elastic fibers over time, which means your compression and stretch suffer. Set your machine to a delicate cycle. This protects polyester, spandex, elastane, and nylon fibers while still cleaning effectively.
Step 3: Turn Inside Out Before Washing
This simple move preserves color and protects your fabric's finish. Your favorite colors stay richer longer, and the exterior maintains its integrity through multiple washes.
Skip the Fabric Softener
This one matters. Fabric softener leaves residue that traps odor, reduces moisture absorption, and affects breathability. Your premium pieces don't need it. Cold water and a gentle detergent do the job right.
Drying Your Pieces for Longevity
High heat destroys performance fabrics. Skip the dryer entirely. Hang dry whenever possible. Lay pieces flat or hang them to air dry naturally. This prevents stretching and maintains the integrity of the elastic fibers that give your leggings that supportive feel.
The Cloud II™ Accent Pant keeps its marshmallow softness longer when air dried. Kimberly E. noted, "So comfy and cute, this fit, material, and color is beautiful!!" That comfort is worth protecting with proper drying methods.
Refreshing Activewear Between Washes
Not every wear requires a full wash. Sometimes you need a quick refresh. Between workout sessions, a light spray designed for activewear instantly freshens fabrics without the washing process. This extends the life of your gear and keeps your rotation strong.
A refresh is especially helpful for pieces you wore during a low-sweat workout or pieces you've already washed this week. One spritz restores freshness, and your clothes last longer overall.
