Mistakes you're (probably) making when washing your workout gear:

  • Washing your clothes on a hot setting. Workout clothes are usually made from synthetic materials that don’t react well to high temperatures because it can damage the fibers. Opt for a cooler temperature instead; 
  • Using fabric softener. “Moisture-wicking materials don’t absorb fabric softener the same way your regular clothes do, which creates a coating on the surface that can trap bacteria”; 
  • Putting your clothes in the dryer. “Similar to washing your clothes, exposing them to high temperatures in the dryer will only further break down the fibers and ruin the quality of your items.” Air-drying is your best bet.
