We’re now in mid-Summer and a lot of people are getting hot, active and sweaty. Here we offer six tips to keep your active wear looking and smelling great, and keeping up with your performance.
如今我們已經迎來了盛夏，隨著天氣越來越熱，每天的運動量和出汗量也隨著見長。本週我們向您提供一些清潔運動衣物方面的小貼士，保證您的衣物看著美觀、聞著清爽，跟得上您的生活節奏。
1. Wash in cold water. Washing in hot water can break down the fabric and leads to shrinkage. All Soapnut Republic laundry care products are designed to perform best in cold water.
用冷水洗滌。熱水在洗滌過程中會破壞織物纖維並導致變形縮水。 Soapnut Republic的全線洗衣產品都經過特殊設計，在冷水中表現出色。
2. Machine wash after each wear with Soapnut Republic Laundry Powder. Our robust, non-toxic, low-suds formula is highly concentrated so only a small amount is needed to achieve extremely effective results.
每次穿著後，使用Soapnut Republic礦物源洗衣粉機洗。我們強效、無毒、低泡的獨有配方乃高度濃縮而成，僅需極小的份量就能帶來卓著成效。
3. If you are washing delicate performance gear, we recommend machine washing your garments within appropriately sized mesh laundry bags to avoid damage.
如果您清洗的是有特殊用途衣物，我們建議在機洗時使用大小合適的洗衣袋，以避免衣物在洗滌過程中受損。
4. Don’t use toxic fabric softeners. The chemicals contained in most of these products will build up in the material and eventually make your active wear far less effective for keeping you cool. If you prefer to add softener, we recommend adding ¼ of a cup of white vinegar to your machine’s rinse cycle for a natural and very effective alternative.
切勿使用有毒的衣物柔順劑。大多數的此類產品所含的化學成分都會在洗滌後滯留在您的衣物裡，您的運動衣物會因此喪失原有的散熱透氣性能。如果您想要添加柔順劑，我們建議您在機洗的漂洗緩解添加1/4杯的白醋，成份既天然又有效。
5. Air dry your active wear. Heat and agitation during a machine drying cycle can change the fit, reduce elasticity and alter the performance of your garments.
讓運動衣物自然風乾。乾衣機的加熱和翻滾會導致衣物不再合身、失去彈性，並且在功能上大打折扣。
6. Once a week (or every few wears) we suggest soaking your active wear overnight (or at least for a few hours) in Soapnut Republic Laundry Soaker. It will help to prevent sweat from bonding to the fabric, and ultimately keep your active wear deodorised and fresh to wear over and over again.
每週（或每幾次換洗後）我們建議您使用Soapnut Republic的衣物浸泡粉，將運動衣物整夜浸泡其中（或至少數小時）。這樣能有效預防汗液與織物的混合，因而衣物不會帶有任何異味，反复換洗也不受影響。
Following these tips will allow you to enjoy training with clean, undamaged clothes.

Let us help you to keep yours looking good!
