We are probably all aware that not all clothes are made of the same materials. This is especially true for sports equipment. Washing machines do offer special programs for washing 'plastic' materials, but sports bras are significantly less resistant to some programs and you need to care for them differently if you want them to retain their shape and appearance for a long time.
Sports bras usually wear out very quickly after washing they lose their shape and change color. Why does this happen and how to avoid it? Mollie Barr, New Balance sports department manager, she discovered tips, how to properly care for a sports bra.
1. Avoid the dryer. The heat breaks down the fabric and changes its shape and appearance. Even if the sports bra is white, you shouldn't wear it dry on high because it will turn yellowish.
2. Use a special detergent for washing sports equipment. Structure conventional detergents have not changed for a very long time, so the fabrics are suitable for washing classic materials, such as cotton or wool. Sports equipment is made of 'plastic' - this is also the reason why is your sports equipment or bra still emitting an unpleasant smell?, despite the fact that you are washed.
