Treat techwear like performance gear: wash less, spot clean when you can, and always check the care label first. For clothing, turn items inside out, zip everything up, and wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener because they can damage coatings, prints, and water resistance. Air dry in shade for best results; if you use a dryer, keep it very low heat and short.

For stains and smell, wipe dirt with a damp cloth first, then use a little mild soap on the spot. Don’t scrub hard on reflective prints, taped seams, or coated fabric. Store pieces on hangers (especially jackets) and keep them in a cool, dry place.

For shoes, brush off dust, wipe with a damp cloth, and use mild soap only when needed. Don’t soak them, and don’t dry with heat or direct sun. If they get wet, stuff with paper and air dry at room temperature. Rotate pairs, let insoles air out, and use a light deodorizer if needed.
