The cleaning method of the sports vest needs to be determined specifically according to its material and style, but the following are some general cleaning recommendations:
First, preparation
1. Check the label: First, check the washing label of the sports vest to see if there are special washing requirements, such as hand washing, machine washing, water temperature restrictions, etc.
2. Classification cleaning: wash dark and light sports vests separately to avoid dyeing when mixing.
Second, cleaning steps
1. Soak:
– For sports vests with sweat stains or slight stains, you can soak them in cold water for 5-10 minutes first. If the stain is heavy, you can consider adding a small amount of mild detergent or special detergent for sports clothes in cold water, but the soaking time should not be too long to avoid damaging the material.
– For some materials that are easy to fade (such as cotton, general anesthesia, etc.), you can soak in salt water for 15 minutes before soaking to play a color fixing role.
2. Gentle washing:
– Hand washing: If hand washing is indicated on the label, gentle detergent should be used to gently rub the stain, avoid rubbing hard to avoid damaging the material and elasticity.
– Machine washing: If the label indicates machine washable, the sports back should be packed in a laundry bag, choose a gentle or underwear washing mode, and the water temperature should not be too high (generally not more than 40 degrees). Avoid using strong detergents and bleach, which may damage the material and color.
3. Rinse: Rinse the detergent residue thoroughly with a lot of water to ensure that the sports vest is not greasy.
Third, dry and store
1. Drying: Lay the sports vest flat in a cool and ventilated place to dry, avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fading and material aging. If conditions permit, fold in half to dry to maintain shape.
2. Avoid wet environment: Freshly washed sports vests should not be hung in wet toilets to prevent bacteria from breeding.
Fourth, precautions
1. Avoid using softeners: Softeners may form a layer of material on the fibers, affecting the sweat absorption and moisture removal performance of the sports vest.
2. Check the wear condition: regularly check the wear condition of the sports vest, such as weakening elasticity, material damage, etc., and timely replacement to ensure the comfort and safety during exercise.
3. Special material treatment: For sports vests containing wool, silk and other special materials, they should be cleaned and maintained in accordance with the corresponding washing methods.
In summary, the correct cleaning method can extend the service life of the sports vest and maintain its good performance. During the cleaning process, be sure to follow the instructions on the washing label and choose the appropriate washing method.
