5 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Washing Lululemon Clothes

Imagine this: You’re getting ready for your favorite workout, reaching for those trusted Lululemon leggings, but they’re not the same. The once vibrant colors have dulled, the fit feels stretched, and there’s a faint lingering odor you can’t seem to shake. You’re left wondering, "What went wrong?"

You’re not alone. According to a survey conducted by The Clean Wash, 82% of Lululemon owners admit to unknowingly making mistakes when washing their activewear. These mistakes not only compromise the performance of the fabric but also shorten the lifespan of the clothes.

In this blog, we’ll explore the five most common mistakes people make when washing Lululemon clothes and how you can avoid them to keep your favorite pieces looking and feeling as good as new.

5 Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Using Harsh Detergents
    Many standard detergents contain chemicals that break down the delicate fabrics in Lululemon clothes. Always opt for gentle, activewear-specific detergents.

  2. Skipping the Pre-Treatment
    Sweat and body oils can linger if not treated before washing. Pre-treating your garments ensures a deeper clean.

  3. Overloading the Machine
    When the washer is too full, clothes don’t get properly cleaned. Worse, the friction can lead to pilling and wear.

  4. Using High Heat
    Lululemon fabrics like Lycra and Nulu are heat-sensitive. High-temperature washes and dryers can warp the material, reducing stretch and comfort.

  5. Neglecting to Air Dry
    Tossing your leggings in the dryer might be tempting, but air drying is the best way to maintain their shape and elasticity.
