Pre-Sport Care Tips

Before diving into your training or competition session, it's important to consider how certain products can affect your sportswear. If you usually use creams or special liquids, such as sunscreens or muscle warming creams, avoid direct and continuous contact with your gear until they have been fully absorbed. These products may contain chemicals that deteriorate the technical properties of the fabrics and promote the accumulation of sweat and dirt.

Post-Sport Care Tips

After physical activity, washing your gear as soon as possible is key. Avoid leaving it damp for long periods or storing it in non-ventilated backpacks, as this can cause bad odors due to the development of sweat bacteria. If you can't wash it immediately, soak your gear in water and let it air dry, preferably in the shade.

Maintenance and Washing

• Before washing, turn your garment inside out and close the zippers to prevent damage from the process, such as possible rubbing or snagging.

• Wash your gear by hand or in the washing machine using cold water (maximum 30ºC) and a neutral liquid detergent designed for technical garments.

• Never dry clean your garments, and avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or whiteners, as they can damage the fabrics.

• If you use a washing machine, use a laundry bag if you have one and select the delicate garment program. Avoid spinning and, instead, gently squeeze the garment to remove excess water without twisting it.

• Never dry your sportswear in the dryer. Instead, let them air dry, preferably inside out and in the shade. Also, avoid ironing them, as heat can damage technical fabrics.

 Other Useful Tips

In addition to basic care, here are some additional tips to keep your garments in perfect condition: 

- Before washing, check the pockets to avoid damage or stains from forgotten objects, debris, or wrappers.

- For tough stains like mud or grease, pre-clean by rubbing with liquid detergent before washing.

- Avoid soaking your garments in aggressive chemical products, as this can affect the color and cause fading.

- Never place them on radiators or other direct heat sources to dry.

By following these practical tips, you can extend the lifespan of your favorite sportswear, maintaining its quality and functionality for much longer. Make the most of your sports equipment with the proper care!
