Keep the Shine

Cool water, low friction and no heat: a simple routine for protecting glossy stretchwear.

Before water: protect the surface

Remove rings, bracelets and anything that can catch. Close zippers without forcing them. Turn the garment inside out so the outer surface and printed logo meet less friction. If there is sand or grit, rinse it away gently rather than rubbing it into the fabric.

Wash: short, cool and quiet

Move the garment through cool water with a little mild detergent. Do not scrub, twist or leave it soaking for an extended period. Rinse until the detergent is gone, supporting the fabric when you lift it. LEOHEX high-gloss garments are hand-wash only. Keep them away from towels, denim, hooks and exposed hardware.

Dry: remove water without stretching

Press water out between your hands. Lay the garment on a clean towel, roll once to absorb moisture, reshape it and dry flat or well supported. Heat—from hot water, dryers, irons or heated racks—can be hard on stretch textiles.

Store: cool, dry and loosely folded

Wait until seams, zipper tape and enclosed feet are fully dry. Avoid hard folds through the printed logo and do not compress the garment beneath a heavy stack. Keep it away from direct sun, heat, humidity and abrasive accessories.

Gloss attracts attention because the surface is clean and responsive to light. Gentle handling protects that visual quality better than complicated treatments. For the visual side of the story, continue to The Anatomy of LEOHEX Shine.
