Pretreat
Pretreat stains with Stain Solution or the Wash & Stain Bar. Focus on susceptible areas such as underarms, necklines, and waistbands.
The Wash & Stain Bar works the material to remove dirt, grease, oil, sunscreen, and makeup. Use the bar to target straps, sports bras, and waistbands.
Handwash
Handwashing is the best and safest method for washing Luxtreme.
Add 2 capfuls or a squirt of Sport Detergent to a washbasin or sink filled with cool water.
Submerge the item and gently agitate the water with your hands to evenly distribute soap. Soak for up to 30 minutes.
Rinse well by running cool water through the item until the water is no longer soapy. Do not wring. Instead, press the water out of the item.
Machine Wash
Turn the item inside out, and place it in a Mesh Washing Bag to preserve elasticity and prevent tearing and snagging in the machine.
Select the delicate cycle and use cool water. Add the appropriate amount of Sport Detergent according to the machine and load size.
For especially sweaty, dirty, or musty items, such as athletic uniforms and sportswear, add 2 capfuls of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative and use a normal cycle.
Dry & Finish
Always air-dry activewear and performance fabrics! The high heat of the dryer will reduce the fabric’s elasticity and moisture-wicking properties.
Spritz with Sport Spray to remove odors and freshen everything from sneakers, gym bags, and lockers to yoga mats and sports equipment.
Use the Hotel Laundry Bag to keep sweaty workout gear separate from the clean, dry items in your bag.
