How to wash a windbreaker
how to wash a windbreaker
We all know the importance of washing our clothes before and after outdoor activities, but what about our windbreaker? It’s no secret that the weather in Canada can be unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean we should throw caution to the wind and neglect our garments. That’s why we’ve decided to tell you how to wash a windbreaker so you can avoid any stressful trips to the drycleaner’s in the future. Follow our stepwise process and you’ll be able to take good care of your gear without having to worry about the drips.
Lay It Out Flat
Lay your windbreaker on a clean surface, such as a table or a clean floor. If possible, use a large cloth to prevent any wrinkles from appearing and to soak up the excess water. If you’re layering several items (for example, a long-sleeve shirt and a windbreaker), make sure that the inside layer is on top when you put the outfit on so the water doesn’t seep through to your clothing. You should also consider the angle at which you’re laying your clothing when the outfit is wet as this could impact its overall shape.
Wash It In The Washer
When you get the urge to wash your windbreaker, don’t just dive right in with the sink. Instead, fill the tub with water and set the temperature at a comfortable level. If you have a large washer, you can use a clothing peg or an old shoe to hang up all of your clothing so the water can circulate freely and wash away the stains. Make sure you leave in good condition as this is one of the only ways to properly clean a long-sleeve tight-fitting shirt without having to dry it off first.
Let It Air Dry
With some shirts and some jackets, you can’t exactly tell whether you should wash them before or after you wear them. These items tend to be more water-resistant materials that you wear on your upper body and the inside of your clothing may get wet during your activity. If this is the case with your windbreaker, go for it! You can throw it in the washer and use the dryer on low heat for a few minutes or leave it outside to air dry. The main thing is that it doesn’t look damp when you wear it as this could lead to fungus growth and other issues.
Use Deodorizers
If you’re finding that your windbreaker is becoming a bit musty, you can use a couple of sprays of deodorizer on the inside of the garment before you wear it. This will help prevent any unwanted odor from developing throughout the night while you’re sleeping. Just make sure you don’t hold it too near to the heater as this can cause it to lose its shape.
Put It In The Dryer
Dryers are great for items such as jackets, sweat shirts, and windbreakers as it allows you to remove most of the moisture from your clothing without having to worry about it getting wet. Just make sure you don’t overload the dryer as this can cause serious damage. You should use your hands instead of the cloth when putting your windbreaker in the dryer as this can help prevent any fraying.
Never Let It Get Stained
As we mentioned before, water-resistant clothing doesn’t dry easily and can become stained quite easily. This is why we always recommend washing your windbreaker before and after you use it as this will help remove any excess oils or stains. If you are going to be working in wet weather make sure that your clothing is protected from getting wet otherwise you’ll ruin the look of your sweater.
Clean Your Clothes Once You Return Home
When we think about washing our clothes, the first thing that comes to mind is getting everything clean and dry. However, this is not always the most practical solution since it requires either a lot of time or a lot of energy. If you happen to be somewhere where a lot of water is available (such as a lake or a pool), you can use these resources to clean your clothes once you get home. Just make sure you don’t leave the water on your clothes for too long as this can cause damage. Use your regular washing machine with the regular detergents.
Never Wear It On Your Back
If you’re going to be hanging up your clothes on a hook or putting it on a rack, make sure that the front is facing the wall so water can’t drip on to your clothing. This is also important when you’re laying your clothes on a table or a bed as the front of your clothing can become wet which can lead to bacteria growth.
Lay It Flat When You Put It On
When you get dressed in the morning, make sure that your clothing is laid out flat and doesn’t have any creases or wrinkles. When you layer your shirt, try to make sure that the inside layer is on top when you put on your jacket as this will help prevent any of the layers from getting wet. If you’re going to be cycling, make sure your clothing is loose fitting as this will help prevent any chills while you’re moving around.
As you can see, there are several ways in which you can take good care of your windbreaker so you can spend as much time as possible out on the golf course, tennis courts, or swimming pool.
Protect Your Skin
The skin is the largest organ in our body and it’s very sensitive. It’s always best to think about what others would say about you rather than what you say about yourself as this will more accurately represent your true nature. When it comes to skin-related issues, we’re always told not to talk about it and make sure that we cover up when we’re in public places so we don’t cause trouble for those around us. This is why we’re a little bit more careful when we wear tight-fitting clothing as this is the kind of clothing that will hug us tighter and more closely to our bodies. When you layer your clothing, make sure that your top layer is loose fitting so it doesn’t restrict your breathing when you exercise or dive into the water. This will help promote better skin healthiness.
Being in good physical condition is one of the keys to staying young-looking. Make sure you exercise regularly, eat healthy, sleep well, and hydrate properly so you can prevent many serious ailments that could appear in your later years.
Knowing how to wash a windbreaker can help you get the most out of your exercise regime and keep you looking young.
