How to care for synthetic materials

Synthetic materials are the easiest to maintain and wash. Nevertheless, specific instructions must be followed to extend their life, maintain key features, and keep them comfortable to use.

Zip up all zippers

Hand wash heavily soiled clothing before washing and zip up all zippers. Make sure there is no unprotected Velcro left anywhere on the garment where fine fibers can get caught.

Wash immediately

It is important to wash the synthetic fabrics immediately after sports performance. Prolonged exposure to sweat and dirt causes degradation of the material, and bacteria start to act on wet and dirty clothes, creating an unpleasant odor.

Only similar colors

 Always put individual clothes in the washing machine only with the same or similar colors. Black things in particular can bleed. We also recommend not mixing them with other types of clothing. Use a laundry bag that ensures a longer life and prevents mechanical damage.

Program for delicate or synthetic laundry

Select a program for delicate or synthetic laundry with a low temperature of 30˚C (86˚F) and a maximum spin speed of 800 rpm. Never wash synthetic fiber clothing in hot water. Heat can permanently damage synthetic fibers.

Do not use bleach or fabric softener

Adding them can interfere with the natural properties of the fabrics. Also, avoid bio detergents, which damage some materials and degrade reflective elements on clothing.

Do not to use too much detergent

If you still see foam after the wash cycle, add one more rinse cycle. No washing powder should be left on the clothes.

Dry naturally

 Let clothes made of synthetic materials dry naturally without using a dryer. To preserve the print longer, it is ideal to turn the clothes inside out before hanging them up.
