Of all school clothes, the sports uniform requires the most frequent washing. This isn't surprising, as it reflects how much children enjoy their school life: the effort, the growth, the play, the physical health, and the achievements they accumulate on those days when they wear the uniform. There's also the fact that, due to its comfort, it's a favorite among our children to wear constantly, often for longer periods.

But it's not just their emotional importance; it's also the type of fabric these uniforms are usually made of that requires specific considerations when washing them. They are generally made of synthetic fibers designed to absorb sweat and dry quickly.

The strategy to win the game against dirt

Here are some points to remember the next time you wash a sports uniform, and every time, to keep them in the best condition throughout the school year:

• Time is key. Try to wash them as soon as possible after they are used so that bacteria, stains and odors do not become embedded in the fabric.
  
• May it continue to stand out. The patches, prints, numbers or logos on the uniform are what make it stand out from the rest, so the best way to care for them is by turning the garment inside out and washing it.
  
• Adequate hydration. The water used should be lukewarm or cold to avoid damaging the elasticity or the prints. We recommend a temperature between 20 and 30°C.
  
• Choose your team members wisely. Detergent should be used sparingly, not excessively. It's best to avoid bleach to prevent discoloration or weakening of the fibers. Leave fabric softener aside, as it can reduce the fabric's ability to wick away sweat or leave residue. And of course, don't forget to use Blu, your best player.
  
• Details that will give you the victory. To take full care of these garments, and the rest of the clothes you wash together with them, there are details to consider such as: closing zippers and Velcro before washing so they don't get caught on other clothes, giving the washing machine space and not overloading it, and drying in the shade so that intense heat doesn't affect the colors or the integrity of the uniform.
