Care instructions
To keep your Craft functional sportswear in great shape for a long time , it is important that it is well cared for . We advise the following to ensure a long lifespan of our high-quality fabrics , printing technology , and processing .
- Before use , we recommend washing the clothing by hand in cold water with a dash of cleaning vinegar to neutralize the inks so that they no longer bleed . - Always follow the washing instructions as stated in the item . And very important , DO NOT use fabric softener when washing functional sportswear . The fabric softener forms a thin layer around the fibers , which reduces the functionality of the fabric ( moisture transport , ventilation and , if present , water / wind repellent properties ). - Wash separately , not at temperatures above 30 degrees and preferably by hand as much as possible . Machine washing causes increased wear and fading of the colors . If you still want to wash in the machine , most machines have a special program for sportswear . The laundry is spun less hard , so that the shape of the clothing is better retained . Use mild detergents and avoid fabric softener and bleach . - Wash inside out . Close the zippers and Velcro when you wash the clothes to prevent them from damaging the garment . Items with zippers and / or Velcro should preferably be washed in a laundry bag . - Do not tumble dry . The elastic components cannot withstand the heat and will break off . Only allow the clothing to dry naturally and keep in mind that direct sunlight and heat can damage the fabrics . - When hanging , be careful that the clothing does not stretch too much and lose its shape . - Do not iron our products .
Use and general advice
- Do not put on our bib tights and bib shorts by stretching the suspenders or putting pressure on the stitches . Tighten carefully , section by section . - Be careful when using saddles with embroidery / decorations . This can cause pilling . Such problems are not covered by the warranty .
Avoid deterioration of the quality of the fabrics
- Don ’ t leave your sportswear in the laundry basket - wash them immediately after use . Perspiration can affect the color and fabric , making it thin and less elastic . - It is better not to leave your sportswear in damp places or in plastic bags . Have the clothes become very dirty ? Then use a detergent specifically for sportswear , which also combats unpleasant odors and is kind to the clothes . - You can also soak it overnight in cold water with a dash of cleaning vinegar , Biotex , green soap or Vanish . Do not clean the clothes with a brush , this causes pilling and damage to the fabric . - Massage creams or massage oils combined with sweat can damage the fabrics . - Applying creams to pads causes damage . - Avoid contact with Velcro fasteners as this can cause pilling . - Wearing backpacks can cause friction and therefore damage the fabrics .
