How to stop polyester fraying?

Hiya, I would move your dial to Easy Care @ 40 deg. Reduse your spin speed too.

If you put stuff in a pillowcase - fasten the top so it can't fall out.

Safety pin - rubber band etc.

Make sure you only use non biological washing powder and air dry instead of tumble drying.

Some garments seem more prone to it than others. I've had some cycling tops that have done what you describe very quickly whereas others are fine for years. Generally cheaper ones wear out first but that certainly isn't a hard and fast rule...perhaps because it depends who makes the fabric not who makes it into the end garment.

Hi Southernscouser

There is another thread you started when you bought new shorts, so have a look through it and see if there are any other suggestions which may help you

I will add this thread to the other one later, to keep all the information together.

Hope you get it sorted!

Thanks

Hi, just a thought but is there any velcro on the sportswear? because that causes snags terribly.

the reason your not suppose to use fabric condtioner is because it rots some types of plastic,and polliester is related to plastic.

Could you get one of those bra bags? The ones which are netted? I got a set of them for a pound in poundland and they zip up, so might be worth it?
