2. How to solve the problem of clothes stinking
Soak clothes with disinfectant (compression clothing and other high-tech fabrics are not applicable, use mild and neutral detergent), mix 15ml with 3L water, soak in cold water for 15min, and then machine wash.
3.Pay attention to check before washing
The sundries, keys, coins, etc. in the pocket should be cleaned out. Most gym clothes can be washed by washing machine, and the requirements for washing temperature are relatively broad. However, if the label says “hand wash,” do not use the washing machine. Also check the instructions before washing, don’t damage the clothes.
4.Pay attention to the application of detergent
Many high-tech gym clothes indicate that disinfectants and softeners cannot be used, because the “additional” in the detergent may penetrate into the fibers, harden the fibers, and destroy their sweat absorption and deodorization capabilities. Of course, you can buy a special detergent for sports clothes for washing.
Do not use softeners for sportswear containing wool, because they will form a layer of material on the wool and weaken its deodorizing and dehumidifying capabilities. There are many laundry detergents on the market that specialize in washing high-tech fabrics, which can be studied.
5.Do not machine wash sports shoes
For most traditional shoes, the dirt is washed away and the elasticity of the shoes is also washed away when they are turned in the washing machine. This is because the midsole of the shoe is soaked in water for more than a certain period of time, which will rupture the cell wall of the cushioning foam and make the sole hard.
6.Dry slowly
In terms of drying, it is best to air dry without seeing the sun and dry slowly.
