Fabric Care Guide - Lycra/Spandex

Lycra/Spandex

Lycra and Spandex are elastic fibers. Seldom used alone, they are combined with other fibers to give garments a comfortable stretch. Used in casual wear, athletic wear, and swimwear.

Cleaning Be sure to check the care label in the garment for washing instructions. Wash in warm (not hot) water. Do not use liquid chlorine bleach as it can lead to fiber breakage.

Drying Tumble dry on low heat settings while dryer drum is cool or as recommended on care label. Or, you can drip dry or lay flat to dry.

Iron Iron only if necessary, on a low setting.

Storage Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
