Champion 5782  Northridge, California | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit I defer to my wife--who is both a fellow triathlete AND the household laundry guru: Delicate cycle, hang to dry. |

Master 2167 Livonia, MI | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit I would not suggest the washing machine. Wash it in the bathtub with either delicate care detergent or baby shampoo. |

Veteran 312 Bessemer, AL | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit Washing machine, by itself or with other tri gear (running shorts, sports bras, all that same type material - NOT chlorinated swim suits, those go in a separate load) with a little bit of detergent no softener. Hang to dry. |

Master 3127 Sunny Southern Cal | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit Why bother to wash any workout gear? It'll just get stinky the next time you use it. |

Regular 853 | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit If I just have a few things to wash, I hand wash in the sink in cold water. If I have enough for a small (or larger) load, I put it in the machine on gentle/cold. I do use Win Detergent for all my workout clothes. jami |

Veteran 244 South Carolina | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit I'm with "slobgob." I wash my tri suits/shorts and swimsuits in the shower, with shampoo or body wash. Hang to dry. My dryer has only one setting: incinerate. I've found that the less I machine wash and dry my more expensive suits, the longer they last. Only problem might be if you get some sort of stubborn, nasty "funk" which requires stronger chemicals or greater heat to get out. Hasn't been a problem so far . . . |

Veteran 204 Jacksonville, Fl | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit I do all my technical clothes together with the "special" detergant. then hang to dry. At first I didn't think the extra money for the fancy technical detergant was going to be worth it but it takes the funk out. Especially out of the under armor stuff, which didn't seem to be so fresh usualy. |

Master 1457 MidWest | Subject: RE: How do you wash your tri suit I wash all of our workout/tri gear in the wash. We have 2 swimmers, 1 IM and 1 sometime exerciser in our house so there is always laundry to do. I wash it all in the wash on cold with about a 1/4 cup (if that) powder detergent and 1/8 oxyclean. No fabric softener and everything gets hung up to dry. |
