Your Love Tennis gear is designed to perform at its best on the court—and with the right care, it will keep looking and feeling great for many matches to come! Follow these simple care tips to extend the life of your tennis apparel and keep it fresh, vibrant, and comfortable.
1. Read the Care Label
Every Love Tennis item comes with a care label that provides specific washing and drying instructions. Always check this label first to ensure you’re caring for your apparel properly.
2. Wash in Cold Water
Cold water helps preserve the color and fabric quality of your tennis clothes. Use a gentle cycle to prevent damage to delicate or performance fabrics.
3. Use Mild Detergent
Choose a mild, bleach-free detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the technical fibers in moisture-wicking fabrics and reduce breathability.
4. Wash Similar Fabrics Together
Separate your tennis gear from heavy fabrics like jeans or towels to avoid abrasion. Wash synthetic or performance fabrics together to prevent pilling and damage.
5. Turn Clothes Inside Out
Turning your apparel inside out before washing helps protect the outer surface and any prints or logos.
6. Avoid High Heat
High heat can shrink or damage your tennis clothes. Tumble dry on low heat or, better yet, air dry by hanging your clothes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
7. Do Not Iron or Dry Clean
Performance fabrics are designed to dry quickly and wick moisture—they don’t respond well to high heat from ironing. Dry cleaning chemicals can also damage technical materials.
8. Store Properly
Keep your Love Tennis apparel clean and dry before storing. Store folded in a drawer or hung on a padded hanger to maintain shape and condition.
Quick Tips to Keep Your Gear Fresh
- Rinse sweaty clothes after play if you can’t wash them right away.
- Avoid leaving damp clothes in the laundry basket for extended periods.
- Spot clean stains promptly to prevent setting.
