How to Care for Your Eco-Friendly Yoga Sweat Pants

Quick answer

Wash your eco-friendly yoga sweat pants in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry to preserve the Modal fabric's softness and shape. Avoid fabric softener and high heat.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Step 1: Turn inside out and zip up: Before washing, turn your eco track pants inside out to protect the outer surface and any drawcord or piping. If there are any zippers or buttons, fasten them to prevent snagging. Common mistake: washing right-side out can cause visible wear on the fabric's face.
2. Step 2: Use cold water and a gentle detergent: Set your washing machine to a cold, gentle cycle. Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent free of bleach or fabric softener. Hot water can shrink Modal fibers, and harsh chemicals can break down the natural fabric over time. Checkpoint: avoid fabric softener—it coats the fibers and reduces breathability.
3. Step 3: Air dry flat or hang: After washing, gently reshape the pants and lay them flat on a drying rack or hang them by the waistband. Avoid wringing or twisting. Do not put them in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the elastic waistband and cause shrinkage. Common mistake: using a dryer can ruin the flex waistband and rib piping's stability.
4. Step 4: Store folded, not hung: Once fully dry, fold your yoga sweat pants and store them in a drawer or shelf. Hanging them by the cuffs for long periods can stretch out the fabric, especially the lightweight Modal blend. Checkpoint: if you must hang, use a clip hanger on the waistband only.
