Care Instructions!! (www.reddit.com)

Hi everyone!! Educator here!!

I haven’t seen any posts about this (excuse me if I missed it) but I figured I’d let you guys know how to care for your items. I’ve read some reviews on products and it seems like a lot of people don’t know the following tips!

DO NOT put ANYTHING in the dryer!!!!! This will extend the longevity of your products by far. Hang-dry always for all lulu items. If absolutely necessary, you can use an air dry cycle to get the lint off but do not use heat AT ALL.
Wash cold with similar items. Avoid washing with rough items like jeans, towels, things like that. Harsh zippers and other fabrics can snag the material in the wash.
Avoid fabric softener. This thins out fabric and should be avoided at all costs!!

I hope this helps!! 😊

Is there a big difference between washing on cold and medium? I just figure bumping up to warm will help clean the clothes better?

And wash inside out!! Esp if you wash with non-like items to avoid pilling and snags!!

I always find this advice kind of gross. No offense. Heat kills bacteria. Hard pass on this no dryer, cold wash instructions. I just use laundry detergent and softener and my lulu looks new. Might be the OCD in me, but if you spend any time in airports, gyms, or doctor’s offices, you need to get that shit clean.

None of my clothes (bedsides house clothes) have ever been in the dryer. I started hanging drying decades ago.

I’m trying to teach my husband this.

Same. House clothes, socks, and towels go in the dryer only

I can’t be the only person in the world who has no time, space, or mental energy for air drying. All my Lulu items (and all other clothes) go in the dryer. I’m willing to take a hit on longevity for convenience. That said, my items hold up really well, even all my Aligns that I wear multiple times a week. I’ve been wearing a lot of the same items for years.

Same. Why am I paying so much for this stuff if it can’t take a tumble with cheap stuff? And lulu clothes have held up much better than cheap things in dryer which is why I buy them.

I can air dry leggings or other thin materials that actually dry within a few hours. Can’t bring myself to air dry sweatshirts though.

Yes!! Literally came to say this. No time or energy. If I have to air dry clothing, I won’t buy them. That said, my lulus also hold up well even tho I run them through tumble dry low heat. It’s athletic wear! They need to make their products so that we can dry them in the dryer, especially considering how much we pay.

How do people not use fabric softener and air dry and not have their clothes turn out crusty af. I don’t air dry because I’m lazy, but the few times I have made the effort to I hate that my clothes feel crusty.

I wash all my Lulus and Lulu knock offs in a garment bag. After that everything is hung up to air dry.

Some items have “tumble dry low” on the instructions…..? Should I listen to you or the instructions. I am confused.

Maybe some products just have poor quality; like steady state. I tumble low dry it for 10 minutes and air dry it, it shrinks. Buy another one and only air dry it, it shrinks. 💀 it wasn’t my fault, educator let me do a quality check and give me another one…

Cold wash with like items, no fabric softener, air dry OR tumble dry low (7 year LLL educator, I dry all my stuff)

I have reuined so many align tanks and align pants by putting them in the dryer and the fabric peels. Don't do it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I always wash mine inside out and in a pillow case or laundry bag. Also, never use fabric conditioner.

I've got 10 year old LL's that look like new!

Except for the wunder puffs. I put those in the dryer to fluff them up. Everything else I hang dry.
