Velour Care Guide

I have washed hundreds of Juicy tracksuits over the years and through my tried and tested methods, I have put together the below care guide. Remember, this is my advice only so i cannot guarantee it will work for your set.

1. Assess Your Tracksuit

  • Check for stains, marks, or odors.
  • Determine if spot cleaning, full cleaning, or airing is needed.
  • TOP TIP: Ask yourself if you even need to clean your tracksuit. You can keep your tracksuit fresh without having to wash it. Remember, no matter how careful you are with washing, it will always take your tracksuit back one step from it's original perfection.

2. Odor Care 

  • Mild odors: Hang near a window or outside (never in direct sunlight) and air.
  • Stronger odors: Hang in a steamy bathroom during your shower (my fave tip ever), then air dry.
  • Repeat daily if necessary.
  • Finish with a light spritz of fabric refresher but ensure that the odour is gone before this. Using a fabric refresher to mask smells, only makes it stronger.

3. Spot Cleaning

  • Use Vanish gel (this is the product I use) or a suitable clothing stain remover but ensure it is compatible with velour.
  • Dab the stained area with a soft, damp cloth or sponge do not rub.
  • Air dry naturally following step 2. Always hang (it helps to maintain the shape and keep crease free.

4. Handwashing

  1. Pre-clean: Spot clean any marks first.
  2. Prepare: Zip or fasten your tracksuit and turn it inside out to protect the fibres and any bling or rhinestones.
  3. Wash:
    • Fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water.
    • Add a mild detergent.
    • Submerge the tracksuit and gently move it around.
    • Do not wring or twist.
  4. Dry:
    • Lay flat on a towel and roll to absorb excess water. Repeat with a fresh towel if needed.
    • Air dry flat or hang away from direct sunlight (turn inside out to help this).

4. Maintaining Velour Texture

  • Gently brush with a soft clothing brush (or a clean toothbrush) to restore the velour softness.
  • Use a lint roller to remove dust, lint, and stray fibres.
  • Hang or lay flat to maintain shape.

5. Ironing & Steaming

  • Avoid direct ironing.
  • Steam from a distance if needed to remove wrinkles.

7. Aftercare

  • Always store your tracksuit hanging to preserve its shape.
  • Regular brushing and lint rolling keeps it feeling fresh and luxurious.
