Lululemon Fabric Care: How to Wash Nulu, Luxtreme and Other Activewear
Published: June 21, 2026 | Author: WinkBits | Updated: September 23, 2026
Technical activewear can pill, stretch or lose performance when it is repeatedly exposed to friction, high heat or fabric softener. Lululemon’s general guidance is straightforward: wash cold with similar fabrics and colors, avoid cotton towels and fabric softener, and hang dry. The sewn-in care label for the exact garment remains the final authority.
- Read the garment label before the first wash.
- Wash cold with similar technical fabrics and colors.
- Keep rough cotton towels, denim and hook-and-loop fasteners separate.
- Avoid fabric softener.
- Hang dry when the label permits.
Nulu and Luxtreme are not identical
Nulu is known for a soft hand feel, while Luxtreme products are often positioned for smoother, more supportive performance. Do not assume that one universal wash routine overrides the product label. Garments can also include mesh, zippers, prints or bonded details that change care requirements.
Reducing friction and pilling
- Turn garments inside out when the care label allows.
- Close zippers and keep abrasive items out of the load.
- Do not overload the machine.
- Reserve leggings designed for lower-friction activities for their intended use.
