However, you can wash our rashguards at normal heat settings for both wash and dry with good results.  We recommend using a baking soda based or sports specific detergent to get the rashguard completely clean with each wash. Polyester fabrics are not very hospitable to the sorts of biological stuff that results in stink - so with proper washing, there is no reason your rashguard should be able to retain bad smell. If you are not getting good results, wash less cloth at once or switch to a more powerful detergent. The Fine Details: This product is born of the desire to make a truly great grappling rashguard, as good as any of the others available, and made sustainably here in the USA. Our rashguards are made from scratch, as they are ordered, in our Philadelphia facility. We do not carry a pre-made inventory because this always results in wasted material and labor from unsold products. We do not import products from sweatshops overseas, because we believe in providing fair wages and a safe and happy work environment, as well as jobs for people here at home. We recycle and upcycle wherever possible, run our factory on renewable nuclear energy, and package our rashguards in upcycled fabric. Our rashguards are made from a top quality 82% polyester - 18% spandex tricot fabric with a 320 Gram per yard weight. We selected this fabric because it is super soft and  breathable, but still tightly woven enough to be non-see-through, even when wet. We use quality sublimation dyes to achieve vibrant and durable images. We use high quality extruded polyester German thread in all of our seams for a durable and comfortable stitch. All pieces of fabric are joined using a flatlock seam which is extremely durable and low-profile so that seams are not uncomfortable against the skin. We use what is called a bartack stitch to secure each edge seam (collar, waist, and both sleeves). This stitch locks the whole seam in place to make the rashguard's seams as durable as they can possibly be.
