New: How to wash knee braces and supports with EXPRO Sport Wash

EXPRO Sport Wash bottle

 

Knee braces, wrist supports and other supports worn close to the body are regularly exposed to sweat. We are now launching EXPRO Sport Wash, a highly concentrated detergent for washable braces and supports made from technical materials.

When the support needs cleaning

A knee brace, wrist support or elbow support that is used regularly often becomes a natural part of training or everyday life. Because the support is worn close to the body, it is regularly exposed to sweat and may eventually need to be cleaned to remove ingrained sweat and unpleasant odours.

A support may still perform its intended function but no longer feel as fresh to put on. It then needs cleaning that removes sweat and odour while also caring for the product.

A detergent developed for technical materials

Many braces and supports are made from technical and breathable materials such as polyester, elastane and nylon. EXPRO Sport Wash is specially developed for these types of materials.

The high-performance formula cleans and helps remove ingrained sweat and unpleasant odours without affecting the material’s breathability or function.

The detergent is suitable for many washable products:

The product’s own care instructions explain how the support should be washed. Therefore, always check the instructions before you begin.

Why proper care matters

At Rehaboteket, we sell premium products developed to serve a clear purpose. We also want to help you care for your products so they have the best possible conditions to remain part of an active life in motion.

EXPRO Sport Wash contributes to a faster drying time and, through regular and correct cleaning, can help extend the product’s lifespan.

For us, this is an important part of a more sustainable approach. It is about both the products we choose and how we care for them over time.

How to use EXPRO Sport Wash

The highly concentrated formula can be used for both machine washing and hand washing. The suitable washing method depends on the support’s material and its own care instructions.

1. Measure the detergent

Shake the bottle before use. Use 25 ml, equivalent to one capful, in soft water or 40 ml, equivalent to one and a half capfuls, in hard water per 3 kg of laundry. For hand washing, use approximately half the dose.

2. Wash and dry

Wash and dry the support according to the product’s own care instructions. Do not use fabric softener.

3. After use

Rinse the dosing cap after use.

EXPRO Sport Wash can also be used for sportswear and other functional garments made from technical materials. Always check the garment’s or support’s own care instructions before washing.
