Proper maintenance of sportswear and corporate apparel is crucial for ensuring the durability, functionality, and comfort of the garments. Taking care of clothes made from technical fabrics is not rocket science, but it does require attention and awareness: simple actions and tips can significantly extend their lifespan.

When choosing clothes, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the types of fabrics used and their origin. Tiimiriided sells high-quality goods from Europe: our garments are tested and selected by the best in the field, are long-lasting and skin-friendly with proper care, as confirmed by the heart symbol on the care label.

Customers often inquire about the durability of prints made using the sublimation printing method: do the colors maintain their brightness with frequent use? We are always happy to confirm that garments made using this method hardly wear out with normal care, and the vibrant colors do not fade.

We share eight simple tips for ensuring proper care of team apparel:

1. Pay attention to the care label Before washing, carefully read the care label to see the manufacturer’s recommendations for washing, drying, and ironing. It includes the maximum water temperature, which detergents to use, whether the garments can be tumble dried, etc. The care label for Tiimiriided products can be reviewed for each item.
2. Rinse sweat out of clothes After sweaty activities, it’s advisable to rinse the clothes immediately, as the salts contained in body fluids can damage the fabric properties and cause unpleasant odors. It’s not always necessary to put the clothes in the washing machine; running them under lukewarm water is often sufficient. Too frequent machine washing is not good for the clothes, as mechanical processing can break down the fabric structure.
3. Choose a gentle machine wash program If the washing machine allows, use a gentle wash program to reduce friction, which in turn extends the life of the clothes. Typically, there is an option for synthetic fabrics or sportswear in the program selection.
4. Avoid harmful detergents Avoid laundry detergents that contain bleaches or brighteners, as they can damage the technical fibers that ensure the garment’s breathability and moisture-wicking ability. Use neutral detergents intended for technical sportswear and leisurewear.
5. Do not use fabric softener
   Fabric softener can damage the properties of technical fabric garments, such as breathability and moisture transportation ability.
6. Minimize tumble drying
   Although Tiimiriided garments can be tumble dried at normal temperatures, we recommend avoiding this practice. Too frequent tumble drying can adversely affect the fabric structure.
7. Prefer durable garments
   Choose garments made from technical and durable materials. The clothing in Tiimiriided’s selection is not mediocre promotional products but has been approved by professional athletes and testers. Our garments are made in Europe from European fabrics, are durable, and maintain high functionality and a beautiful appearance with proper care.
8. If ironing, then at a low temperature
   Most sportswear does not require ironing, including the garments sold by Tiimiriided. Although frequent ironing is not recommended, our garments can still be ironed at low heat. Before ironing, carefully review the care label.

If you want to make your custom sportswear and leisurewear even more special, we can create a private label for you for a nominal extra charge. In this way, we can personalize all the garments in our product range.

Such garments lack manufacturer labels, and on the inside of the clothes, there is your own team’s label – for example, your company or sports club logo – with care instructions, material composition, gender, and size.”
