Can You Wash Dri-Fit?

Here's What to Know About Personalized Dri-Fit Shirts

Dri-fit fabric has taken the spotlight in activewear and custom apparel, especially for sports teams, corporate events, and lifestyle brands. Its light, breathable, and moisture-wicking properties make it a go-to material for people constantly on the move. But there’s one question we get asked a lot: Can you wash dri-fit?

Let’s settle this once and for all—and while we’re at it, we’ll also share how to make your personalized dri-fit shirts last longer, especially if you’re getting them from CraftClothing, your trusted source for custom apparel in the Philippines.


Yes, You Can Wash Dri-Fit (But Here’s How to Do It Right)

The short answer? Absolutely yes! Dri-fit is designed to endure washing machines, sweat, and activity—but only if you treat it with care.

Dri-fit fabrics, especially those used in personalized dri-fit shirts, are made from synthetic fibers like polyester and elastane. These materials are engineered to be lightweight, sweat-wicking, and fast-drying—making them ideal for workout wear and team uniforms.

However, personalized designs (such as sublimated logos, screen prints, or embroidered patches) require some attention to maintain their quality and vibrance. Here are a few golden rules:


1. Turn It Inside Out

Before washing, turn your dri-fit shirt inside out. This protects the printed or embroidered design and prevents friction damage during the wash cycle.

2. Use Cold Water

Hot water can damage the synthetic fibers over time and cause screen-printed logos to fade faster. Use cold water on a gentle cycle to keep the fabric and design intact.

3. Skip the Fabric Softener

While it makes clothes smell and feel nice, fabric softener can coat dri-fit fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking abilities. Keep your shirts functional by avoiding softeners altogether.

4. Air-Dry Whenever Possible

Dri-fit shirts dry fast—no need for a tumble dryer! Avoid high heat, which can affect the fit and print quality. Instead, hang your shirt to dry naturally.
