How to Wash Your Wellicious Yoga and Activewear: Gentle Care for Longer-Lasting Clothes
Choose a gentle, effective laundry wash to help care for your favourite pieces while making more considered choices for your wardrobe.
At Wellicious, we believe that caring for your yoga and activewear should be just as thoughtful as choosing what you wear. Our yoga and activewear is designed with comfort, quality and circularity in mind, so looking after each piece properly is an important part of helping it last.
But choosing the right laundry detergent matters, too. Harsh detergents, excessive heat and unnecessary fabric softeners can be tough on clothing fibres and may shorten the life of your favourite pieces. The good news? You can keep your Wellicious yoga and activewear fresh and clean without making your laundry routine unnecessarily complicated.
What to look for in a laundry wash
When washing your Wellicious pieces, opt for a gentle detergent that cleans effectively without relying on unnecessarily harsh ingredients. Choose a formula suitable for the fabrics on your garment's care label, and avoid fabric softeners where possible.
We also recommend washing at a lower temperature when the care label allows, using an appropriate cycle and letting your clothes air-dry. These simple habits can help reduce energy use and unnecessary wear.
Looking for a more considered laundry wash? Here are two options worth exploring.
1. Greenspeed Wash Liquid
Greenspeed offers a professional wash liquid in a convenient 10-litre bag-in-box format.
