It’s bad enough that you’ve come up with a plan for when you go to the gym. What’s worse is that you now have a favorite exercise t-shirt that appears to stay in place when you sweat or move. But after a few washes, it seems to shrink markedly in size, as if it’s been taken over by a younger sibling.
Shrinking of gym wear is something you have heard from your peers, ask a regular gym goer and he would say: “Yaar, meri dri fit t shirt toh har mahine tight ho jaati hai!” People who exercise regularly are left annoyed. And right now, no one has the budget or the willingness to constantly replace their gym clothes.
The culprit here is, not your laundry detergent or the workout itself. It is your washing method.
So let’s fix it. This guide is for every Indian who is fed up of watching his activewear shrink, fade and stretch. Also, this guide is for people who want to prolong the life of their clothes without reverting to cotton kurtas.
What’s Happening to Your Workout Clothes?
Your workout wear isn’t regular cotton. It consists of spandex, polyester, Lycra, and elastane, these smart fabrics which are used in sportswear flex, breathe, and wick away sweat. But they can be ruined so easily! Gentle harsh washing as well as heat and rough spin cycles can destroy them.
Here’s where things usually go wrong:
- Hot water shrinks the fibers
- High spinning cycles stretch out the elastics
- Rough drums damage the fabric surface
- Overcrowded loads leave clothes unclean and twisted
So if you’ve been tossing your workout wear with jeans and towels, then your washing machine is slowly ruining your clothes.
Now we can talk about the solution.
What You Really Need Is a Smarter Wash
If the clothes you wash are important, you need a machine that not only washes, but knows how to take care of them. This is where the new 959 Series Front Load Washing Machine stands out.
This is not your average washing machine. It is designed to protect the kind of clothes most men wear today like dri-fit performance fabrics, gym clothes, branded tees and even limited edition ones.
Let’s see how it changes the game.
1. Pillow Drum That Doesn’t Beat Up Your Clothes
Most old washing machines use rough drums which scratch and rub your clothes till the fabric becomes thin and loose. But Haier’s 959 series has something called a Pillow Drum. It has soft, rounded bumps (like pillows) and over 1200 tiny holes so the fabric damage is much less while washing.
As a result, your activewear is not put through the ringer, instead it is massaged! No more fuzz or pilling and your activewear looks fresh.
2. Pick the Correct Water Temperature Not “Hot” or “Cold” Only
Let’s assume you have a branded gym tee that costs you ₹2000. Are you really going to blast it with 90°C water?
The 959 Series gives you precise temperature control from 30°C to 90°C. For gym clothes, 30°C 40°C works great. It takes out odor and sweat while not demolishing the fibers.
That is the sweet spot where clothes are properly cleaned and not burnt.
3. Direct Motion Motor Makes Less Noise and Reduces Damage.
This is exactly where has made advancements .
Their beltless Direct Motion Inverter Motor is a game changer. It reduces friction and vibration while increasing control, which is a huge plus.
So why is this important?
- The smoothness of the freedom of drum movements help keep things
- Quiet spin cycles without jerky movements
- Results in clothes not tightly twisting or tangling
- Silence while the machine runs, even at night
Better longevity with years of use. Repairs are reduced due to less moving parts. Increased lifespan. That is all.
4. Wash Control that AI adjusts on its own
Has this ever happened to you, clothes coming out of the machine dripping wet, regardless of the spin dry? It can be traced back to how poorly older machines sense load balance, that’s why.
The machine model 959 is equipped with the AI Dynamic Balance System, otherwise known as AI-DBS. This feature checks the drum’s balance more than 1600 times every second. Based on the weight of the clothing, the spinning action is adjusted accordingly.
This translates to your costly dry-fit gym attire being treated far more delicately than your gym towels.
5. For Light Sweat Days, Quick Wash Works Best
Let’s be honest. There are days when your workout is not very strenuous. You may just want to freshen up a little before an upcoming session.
That’s exactly why the 959 comes with a highly practical Quick Wash option that can be completed in an astonishing 15 minutes. It is ideal for a fast rinse of your gym wear.
And yes, it does so while using less water and electricity, and even preserving the fabric.
6. An Oversized 525mm Drum Means Less Friction During Clothes Washing
What is the number of reasons for damaging clothes? The lack of enough space to move, or breath in this case.
With the 959 Series, offers you their new 525mm Super Drum. This generously sized drum exceeds the diameter most washing machines offer. With more space, your clothes can move without the hindrance of rubbing against each other or block one another, allowing them to be properly cleaned.
For people who only do laundry once or twice a week, this becomes incredibly useful. You can do a large batch of laundry all at once without having to spend excessive amounts of time using delicate cycles for each item.
7. Built-in Steam That Actually Kills Bacteria
Sweat is not only offensive, but it can also be quite infectious, given that it encapsulates bacteria. Moreover, the majority of washing cycles tend to overlook bacteria removal.
goes the extra mile by using the PuriSteam system to cleanse garments and removes mites and odour. Therefore, in addition to the clothes being fresh, they are also clean on a microscopic level.
Gym clothes that lollygag in the laundry basket for a day or two before a wash become odor-free.
8. Anti-Bacterial Tech Keeps the Machine Clean Too
You scrub the clothes, but who sanitizes the gauntlet that does the actual washing? You may also notice the strange smell emanating from your washing machine, which means it must be cleaned regularly.
came up with a solution as well. The ABT (Anti-Bacterial Technology) of the drawer and the rubber seals which hold the door closes prevent fungus and bacteria from growing when the washer is not in use.
Your garments will be odor-free, absorb no strange smells, nor get that odd aroma inside the washing machine.
9. Remote Control Because You’re Not Always Home
Late from work or school? Busy after workouts? Cheer up.
You can start or stop the washer using your mobile phone, program reminders or even pause the wash cycle if you’ve left a sock behind. All this with the help of 959 Series Smart Control.
It’s nothing but effortless. You gain virtual assistance that takes care of your laundry.
10. Style That Fits Your Home
Another of the overlooked traits by men is the general appearance of the appliance.
The 959 not only performs well, but also has a sleek and sophisticated appearance. It has a touch panel with a 25° dial which is very easy to turn, and its design is minimalist and contemporary which matches your life.
This is the type of device that won’t change the aesthetic of your house.
