Washing your workout innerwear needs more care and timely expertise. Since they are the ones that pull off lots of bacteria into the garment, more than mild washing should be done.

2. Garment performance and life is dependent on how you care for them
or apparel developer at Reebok. Throwing that high-performance (
ahem, and pricy) apparel in with the rest of your laundry can break
down its fabric, wreck antimicrobial properties and clog up the fibres so
they’re anything but wicking.

3. Performance fabrics, whether sweat wicking, compression, antimicrobial
or ultraviolet protection factor (UPF), are high-maintenance. Fortunately, you
can follow the same guidelines, no matter the type.

6. As a good rule of thumb, you can anticipate UPF finishes lasting for a good two
years with normal wear and tear, says Whiteside-Mayor. If you notice you’re
beginning to get a tan under a piece of UPF wear, it’s time to throw it out.
You’ll want to pay heed to how your garment is wearing over time, too. Stretched
bands and straps, possible chafing spots, faded tags and a less-than-fresh scent
are all signs it might be time to upgrade your running apparel. In other words, time
to toss the old and bring in the new.

7. Sprucing Up Your Kicks

9. If you’re just “airing out” your sports bra after the gym, you’re doing it wrong. Just like
undergarment, you need to wash your sports bras every time you wear. Doing so will 1) get
the fabrics’ fibres back into place for finest fit, and 2) de-clog the fibres of sweat, dirt, salt
and bacteria, which can all build up between the fibres to prevent the bras from breathing
and wicking sweat.

10. Do that and even if you wear them on a regular basis,
your sports bras will last a good six months to a year.
Restore them every time you switch out your running and
cross-training shoes.

12. Cleaning That Jockstrap
We hope you’re already washing these after every wear, but it’s also best to either hand wash
them or machine wash them on the lowest temperature possible. Hot water can decrease the
waistband and straps’ elasticity, and the last thing you want is to have to adjust and pull up
your jockstrap when it starts sagging. If you’ve got a protective cup in yours, take it out and
wash it separately. Air-dry your jocks or tumble dry them on low temperature. Follow those
rules and, depending on how often you sport your jockstrap, it should last one to two years.
