Keep your Sportswear Fresh with The Laundress
Jan
The new year has passed and January is the month for committing to your resolution to keep fit (the Butler knows it was on your list…). So with all this use your sportswear might not be at its freshest.
The Butler has compiled a tips list to help you keep your yoga pants and running bras in perfect fabric health.
Odour-causing bacteria: Deodorise swimwear, sportswear, and high-tech clothing with ¼ cup of Scented Vinegar. Add to a hot water bath and soak garments for 30 minutes.
Stain Removal: Remove old and new stains, such as a discolouring and yellowing underarm stains with the Stain Solution. Apply solution directly to the stained area(s) and soak in a hot water bath.
Tennis Whites & Dingy T-Shirts: Maintain whiteness and brightness with the All-Purpose Bleach Alternative. Simply pre-soak fabrics or add to your wash. A terrific alternative to chlorine bleach, safe for all colours and fabrics except silk and wool.
Protect Items: Protect items throughout the wash cycle with the Mesh Washing Bags; these bags will prevent clothing from tearing and snagging in the machine. They’re the perfect solution for keeping smaller items, such as socks, together in pairs.
Launder Performance Wear: Specifically formulated to remove perspiration, body oils, odour, and stains, the Sports Detergent will leave your moisture-wicking, high-tech performance wear smelling clean and fresh.
Swimwear: Swimwear is best when hand washed and rinsed (preferably sooner rather than later). Remove chlorine, salt, sand, and sunscreen by laundering and/or pretreating with the Wash & Stain Bar. Wet the bar and gently lather soap throughout the garment – rinse well!
Stay Cool: Fabric softener reduces absorption and wicking capabilities – do not use on activewear.
Feel the Burn: High heat will reduce the elasticity and moisture-wicking properties of active wear. Embrace the drying rack – avoid the dryer.
Air it Out: Remove odors and freshen everything for sneakers, gym bags, and lockers to yoga mats and sports equipment with the Sports Spray. To maintain that clean and green scent, spray between wearings.
