Can you run fast without leaving a footprint?
We love:
- Bright and intense sportswear...
- ...that doesn’t stain other clothes in your home laundry...
- ...or fade in the sun
But did you know?
- Your favorite sports gear has color that just sits on the surface...
- ...and will cross-stain other fabrics during frequent washes
- To address this, fabric manufacturers try to remove most of this loose dye using lots of water and energy
