How to Wash a Tracksuit
A tracksuit should be easy to look after. A few habits keep it looking good for years.
Check the label
Fabrics differ, so start with the care label. These are general tips.
Wash inside out
Turn it inside out and close zips. This protects the outside surface and any prints.
Go cool
Wash at 30 degrees with a mild detergent. Heat can fade colour and shrink cotton.
Skip softener
It can build up on fabric and dull it.
Dry gently
Air dry where you can, or tumble on low. See tracksuit care 101.
Wash the set together
Wash the top and bottoms in the same load so they age at the same rate and stay matching. Zip jackets up first so the zip does not catch.
Choose the cycle
Use 30 degrees on a gentle or normal cycle, with a little detergent and no fabric softener. Inside out protects prints and logos.
Dry and store
Air dry or tumble on low. Fold rather than hang the bottoms. See tracksuit care 101 and how to store tracksuits.
