LoginPremium Performance Wear Cleaning
Lululemon, Patagonia, Vuori, Alo, and other high-end performance brands represent a significant investment — and they're built from technical fabrics that demand more careful handling than a standard laundry cycle provides. At Super Cleaners USA, we clean premium activewear using processes specifically suited to technical stretch fabrics, moisture-wicking materials, and performance finishes — so your pieces come back looking and feeling the way they should, wash after wash.
“Consistently reliable—clothes come back spotless, stains removed, and you always know when your order is ready.”
“They went above and beyond to deliver perfectly cleaned shirts right when we needed them most.”
“Friendly staff, fast turnaround, and great results every time. Easily the best dry cleaner in the area.”
What Makes Premium Activewear Different?
High-end performance fabrics are typically engineered blends — Lycra, nylon, polyester, and proprietary stretch materials — designed to move with the body, manage moisture, and retain their shape over time. These properties are degraded by heat, harsh detergents, and mechanical stress. Pilling, shrinking, loss of stretch recovery, and fading are almost always the result of incorrect care, not fabric failure. Professional cleaning at the correct temperature, with appropriate detergents and handling, preserves these properties significantly longer than home washing.

Our Approach
Every item is assessed for fabric composition and care requirements before we begin. We use detergents formulated for technical fabrics — free of fabric softeners that coat and clog performance fibers — and wash at temperatures appropriate for the specific material. Items are finished and inspected before return to ensure shape, stretch, and appearance are fully preserved.
FAQ: Premium Performance Wear Cleaning
Why is professional cleaning better for Lululemon and similar brands?
Home washing — particularly at high temperatures or with fabric softeners — accelerates pilling, stretch loss, and fading in premium activewear. Professional cleaning uses appropriate temperatures, technical-fabric detergents, and gentler mechanical action that extends the life and performance of these garments significantly.
Do you use fabric softener on performance wear?
Never. Fabric softeners coat the fibers of moisture-wicking fabrics and permanently reduce their ability to move sweat away from the body. We use detergents specifically formulated for technical fabrics.
Can pilling be removed from performance wear?
Existing pilling can be carefully reduced using professional depilling treatment, though this is most effective on mild to moderate pilling. Severe pilling is more difficult to fully address. We can advise on what's achievable for your specific garment.
How do you prevent colors from fading in premium activewear?
Fading is primarily caused by heat and harsh chemicals. We wash at low temperatures with color-safe, technical-fabric detergents, and avoid high-heat drying — all of which protect the vibrancy of colored and patterned performance wear.
Can you clean Patagonia fleece and down products?
Yes. Patagonia fleece, down jackets, and technical outerwear each have specific care requirements that we're well-versed in. Down products are washed carefully and dried thoroughly with dryer balls to restore loft.
How often should I have premium activewear professionally cleaned?
For pieces worn frequently — multiple times per week — we recommend professional cleaning every 4–6 weeks to prevent buildup of body oils and detergent residue that degrade fabric performance over time. Occasional-wear pieces can go longer between professional cleans.
