Activewear stands up to your toughest workouts, and it can be easy to assume that it doesn’t need any special attention. But most athletic gear is made out of synthetic materials that don’t mix well with the high heat of a dryer. So the hang dry service is a great option to treat your activewear well.
Here are 3 reasons why you really need to hang dry these items:
1.To keep them in great shape
Since most activewear is made of moisture-wicking material, it is likely to be damp after yoga, workout or all day use, which can create an environment for mildew and mold. To avoid this, hanging these items up to dry before placing them in your hamper is a great idea.To ensure your activewear stays looking like new, you should keep your garments away from the dryer, the high heat of which can warp individual strands of fiber and alter their shape and flexibility permanently.
2. To avoid damage
Exposing your activewear to the heat and friction of the dryer can potentially damage it. The heat wears away on any elastic properties that your garments contain and weakens the material, which can lead to tears and holes. Hang dry service is a great option to dry your activewear that avoids the unnecessary damage of the dryer. If you’re using your activewear every day, chances are your garments could always use another cleaning. If you can hang your activewear to dry in the sun, you can keep it in great shape since it avoids the heat of the machine dryer.
3. To save money & help the environment
If keeping your activewear in great shape isn’t enough for you to hang dry them, then saving money and helping the environment may convince you. Hang drying your activewear can help you reduce the amount of energy you use, which sounds like a great deal!
