How to Wash Sweatpants So They Last

Sweatpants are worn constantly and washed often. A few simple habits keep them looking good for much longer.

Wash inside out, cool

Turn them inside out and wash at around 30 degrees. This protects the colour and cuts down on bobbling.

Skip the softener

Fabric softener can coat the fibres and make them less absorbent over time. A little detergent is enough.

Dry gently

Air dry or tumble on low. High heat can shrink the legs and damage elastic. See how to wash a tracksuit.

Quick answers
