Washing:
Polyester micro mesh gym shorts are designed for performance and easy care. Machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle to help maintain the integrity of the mesh and avoid snags. Use a mild detergent— avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the shorts’ breathability and moisture-wicking abilities.
Drying:
Air drying is ideal to extend the life of the shorts and maintain their shape. If you need to use a dryer, choose a low-heat or air-dry setting. High heat can cause the polyester fibers to weaken or warp, especially in mesh fabrics.
Ironing and Wrinkle Care:
These shorts are typically wrinkle-resistant, so ironing is rarely needed. If necessary, use a cool iron—and always place a cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid melting or shine. Never apply high heat directly to polyester mesh.
Extra Tips:
Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals, as they can damage the synthetic fibers. Wash the shorts with similar fabrics (like other activewear) to prevent snagging. Turning them inside out before washing can help preserve any logos or screen-printed designs.
