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!! 😊
I put my on mesh bag for wash then air dry it.

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

What does the garment bag do? I’ve heard about this but don’t know what its for.
I want to air dry but my basement is way too cold, it takes like 3 days for anything to dry and I worry about mold.

For me it’s like a mesh ziplock bag that prevents anything inside from snagging on anything else. It’s also great for regular bras, since sometimes the bra clasp unhooks and can mess stuff up.

This answer right here! I also use it for bras. They are great.

A garment bag helps the garment not rub against others. Thus, it helps with chafing and pilling too. It won’t get pulled around as much and can stay put.

I love my garment bags! I have them in all sizes for things like lulu and bras (always have your bras in their own! Mine have a circular band to protect underwires from being bent by the agitator if you have that kind of machine). I really love them for washing sweaters, though (you need the big ones for this)- my sweaters, bras and leggings mainly last so much longer washed in garment bags. They don’t get stretched out or wound around other things or snagged/pilled. Just make sure they have a little room in the bag and aren’t stuffed in there or they won’t get clean.

Thank you! Is this what you mean for the ones to protect the underwire? I will definitely be ordering some & using them.
id:kx46dej
Yes! Mine came in a multi-size pack from Amazon with medium and larger ones for workout clothes and sweaters. They’ve saved me sooo much $, just on bras alone 😳

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!

PLEASE do NOT air dry or hang dry your Wunder Puff Jackets. These MUST be tumble dried with tennis balls, PLEASE.
That is the one and only way to take care of true down feathers. I recommend to tumble dry all things puffy. They then puff back up and function better than ever.
OP forgot to mention this point. ^ All educators should know this

I tumble warm dry for ~10 mins then hang dry. So far so good
id:kx3xrgx
Anything? What about sweats? Classic cotton blend sweats? Lulu use to boast on their “don’t worry it’s preshrunk so there’s no surprises”. Is that no longer the case?

I wanted the lightweight knit mens long sleeve polo to shrink a bit and it still stayed intact. Large is about half an inch longer imo than the medium I got. Probably one of thee most slept on sale items rn

I wear my lululemons (different styles of tops, bottoms, and bras) constantly, and I don’t baby them. They are washed and dried in machines with everything else, and years later, they still look perfect.

Someone in my family was trying to help but stuck them in the dryer 🙃 The frustration when someones tries to good deed that essentially ruins your belongings is a tough one.

I wash my lulu separately from everything. Everything inside out. Sweaters, leggings, tanks and tees all separately depending on material. I am Uber protective of my stuff. All hang dry!
id:kx4ht9w
This is the case for nearly all of my lulu clothing with the exception of my Scuba hoodies and sweatpants. To keep them soft, I’ll pop them into the dryer for 20 mins, delicate, no heat, and then hang them to dry.
id:kx75d7o
I put everything in the dryer on delicates and it’s been absolutely fine
id:kx4ey7c
Is there a big difference between washing on cold and medium? I just figure bumping up to warm will help clean the clothes better?

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.
id:kx3ds9m
I did as soon as oh about 1998 😂😂😂
id:kx4hwrv
Same. House clothes, socks, and towels go in the dryer only
id:kx3p2fo
I swear by this! I have leggings from 2015 and they’re still in great condition because I always use the delicate cycle, hang dry, and only wash with other active wear.
id:kx6u5hu
And wash inside out!! Esp if you wash with non-like items to avoid pilling and snags!!
id:kx40dcf
Yep, this is my big thing with almost all laundry items, but especially things that are prone to pilling-it helps prevent lint buildup on the pulled spots so they look much better.
