How to Wash and Care for Activewear to Keep It Looking New
Share
Intro:
Your Neart activewear is made to move with you — through sweat, stretch, and serious sessions. But if you’re washing it the wrong way, you could be cutting its lifespan in half.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to care for your leggings, sports bras, and accessories — so they stay just as fresh, soft, and supportive as the day you bought them.
1. Always Wash in Cold Water
Heat is the enemy of performance fabrics. Hot water can break down elastane and fade colors.
👉 Stick to cold water every time you wash your Skinhug leggings or sports bras.
2. Hand Wash Is Best
For longest life, we recommend gentle hand washing. If you’re using a machine, go for a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. This protects your garments from abrasion and stretching.
3. Never Use Fabric Softener
Fabric softeners coat fibers, blocking breathability and sweat-wicking power. They also degrade compression.
🧴 Skip the softener — your Swift Pocket Leggings don’t need it to feel smooth and supportive.
4. Wash with Similar Colours Only
To prevent color bleeding and keep your sets vibrant, wash each piece separately or with similar tones. Avoid mixing dark leggings with light sports bras.
5. Turn Items Inside Out Before Washing
This protects printed logos, smooth finishes, and the surface texture of leggings from premature wear.
6. Air Dry in the Shade — Never Tumble Dry
Heat weakens the structure of stretch fabrics.
👉 To keep your Neart leggings in peak condition, hang dry in the shade — never tumble dry or leave in direct sun.
