How often should I wash my sportswear?
Less is often more, especially when it comes to washing your sportswear. Question whether it is really necessary to put your sportswear in the washing machine after every workout. Frequent washing can strain the fibers and shorten their lifespan.
Only wash your sportswear if it is very sweaty after strenuous activities such as running or cycling, or if there are unpleasant odors or visible dirt on the clothing.
Often it is enough to air out your sportswear thoroughly after training. Simply hang it out in the fresh air or put it in the laundry basket.
The general rule:
- Very sweaty clothing: Wash after each use
- Light soiling: Wash every few workouts
- No dirt/no sweat: No need to wash after every workout.
