How to Wash and Care for Your K-Swiss Court Apparel

Quick answer

Wash your K-Swiss court apparel in cold water on a gentle cycle, turn items inside out, and air dry to preserve fabric performance and color.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Pre-treat stains: Apply a small amount of mild detergent directly to any visible stains (e.g., clay, sweat) and gently rub with your fingers. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Avoid bleach or heavy stain removers—they can damage performance fabric.
2. Turn garments inside out: Zip any zippers and turn shorts, polos, and tops inside out. This protects logos, prints, and the outer fabric from friction. Inside-out washing also helps prevent pilling on stretch-woven shorts.
3. Wash in cold water on gentle cycle: Use a sports or gentle detergent. Set your machine to cold water and a delicate cycle. Do not overload the washer—allow items to move freely. Hot water can shrink and weaken elastic fibers in court apparel.
4. Air dry—never use a dryer: Lay flat or hang dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing or twisting. The dryer’s heat can damage moisture-wicking and stretch properties. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove while still slightly damp.
5. Store properly: Fold or hang your clean apparel in a cool, dry closet. Avoid overcrowding to maintain shape and prevent wrinkles. Don't store damp clothing—mildew can develop and cause odors.
