With these goods by your side, you'll be well on your way to becoming a laundry pro. Go forth and conquer those stains, my friends.

Wash with Care - Fill the bucket with water and add in just enough detergent to create a light suds. Submerge your leggings in the solution and swish them around with your hands for about 5 minutes

 

Your leggings have been on quite the adventure, from yoga class to coffee runs to who knows where else. They deserve some TLC in the form of a gentle wash.

Why proper washing leggings is important?

To ensure the longevity and shape of your LYCRA® leggings, it's important to follow proper care instructions. Start by machine washing them in cold water and laying them flat to dry. This not only safeguards the integrity of the fabric but also maintains the overall appearance of your gear.

JC London Leggings have become a staple in many wardrobes, offering a blend of comfort and style for various occasions. Whether you wear them to the gym or as a fashion statement, it's crucial to know how to care for them properly, ensuring their longevity, shape, and color.

If you're concerned about potential damage, hand washing is a viable alternative to protect your leggings from the washer. However, if your leggings have secure hems and elastic, machine washing on a gentle cycle should suffice. It's worth noting that handwashing conserves water, so you may choose this method to minimize your environmental impact.

For spot cleaning, hand washing is highly effective. You can use a spot-cleaning stick from your preferred detergent brand or even a few drops of lemon essential oil.

Remember to address any loosening hems or elastic before washing, ensuring they are securely fixed. Additionally, close any zippers and velcro to prevent damage during the washing process.

When selecting a detergent, opt for one specifically formulated for cold washing, as Lululemon leggings are made from LYCRA material. Brands like Wisk and Tide offer suitable detergents for cold cycles.

Whether you choose handwashing or machine washing, it's crucial to separate your leggings from materials with different compositions, such as cotton fibers that may cling to the fabric. Washing similar materials together ensures optimal results.

After washing, create a separate bath for rinsing your leggings by gently wringing them dry without overstretching the fabric. Once excess water is removed, lay your leggings flat on a surface to air dry. Alternatively, you can hang them to dry, although laying them flat preserves their shape more effectively.

How to Wash JC London Leggings in a Washing Machine

These leggings are amazing! To keep them in top shape, follow these tips for washing. First, make sure to use a cold wash cycle. You can even toss them in with delicate fabrics. And if your leggings are dark, no worries! Wash them with other dark or bright colors in cold water to prevent any dye bleeding.

Remember, always check the label for any special instructions. Your leggings might need an extra gentle wash depending on the material. But don't worry, a typical cold wash cycle will do the trick, ranging between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Start with the lowest temperature for the first wash for the best results. Oh, and don't forget to turn your pants inside out!

The best part? You don't need fabric softeners for your Lululemon leggings. They're already super comfortable and ready to wear once dried. Plus, using fabric softeners can actually damage the LYCRA fabric, and we don't want that!

Now, let's talk about drying. It's best to flat dry or hang dry your leggings, if possible. But if you're in a rush, a gentle, low-temperature tumble dry in the dryer will work too. Just remember to avoid using too much detergent. Stick to the lowest recommended amount for your load. Too much detergent can affect the water-repellant properties of your Lululemon leggings over time.

And speaking of drying, avoid those hot or medium temperature cycles. We don't want your leggings to shrink! So, always follow the label's instructions and opt for lower temperatures. Hang drying them is a great way to avoid shrinkage and protect the LYCRA fabric.

And here's a little bonus tip! If you wear your leggings to the gym a lot and they need freshening up, simply add a few drops of lavender oil to a paper towel and toss it in the dryer with your leggings. Just make sure to keep the dryer setting on a cool, low tumble dry.

So there you have it! Follow these tips to keep your leggings looking and feeling their best. Happy washing!
