Luckily, we have devised this ultimate guide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Leotard<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Tights<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Leg warmers<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Tutu<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Ballet slippers<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Leotard<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leotards are a staple of any ballet kit. They are usually made from lycra, which makes washing them slightly tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin washing, first check the care label as some leotards are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/dry-cleaning-myths-debunked\/\">dry clean only<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are washing by hand, firstly, fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a gentle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/a-comprehensive-guide-to-laundry-detergent\/\">liquid detergent<\/a>. It\u2019s best to use liquid rather than powder detergent as powder detergent does not easily dissolve in cool water. It is also best to use a gentle detergent to prevent damage to the fibers of your leotard.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turn your leotard inside out, and submerge it in your basin. To allow the detergent to fully penetrate the garment, swish it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-does-water-hardness-affect-your-laundry\/\">water <\/a>using a circular motion. You can also place the leotard in between your hands and rub your palms together, moving downwards so that the entire length has been washed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you are satisfied with the standard your leotard has been washed, remove it from the basin and rinse it. To ensure that your item has been properly rinsed, keep it under a cool running tap until no bubbles run from the fabric.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After rinsing your leotard, gently press the water from the fabric, making sure that you are not wringing it as this will cause it to lose shape. To finish drying, either hang your leotard on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/hacks-for-drying-clothes\/\">washing line <\/a>or lay it on a flat surface, somewhere away from direct sunlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would prefer to use the washing machine, you must use a short and delicate cycle. Anything other than a delicate cycle will misshapen your leotard. You will also need to use a cold wash setting to avoid unnecessary damage to the fibers of your item.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/leotard.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@budgeron-bach?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Budgeron Bach<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/crop-unrecognizable-ballerinas-standing-in-third-position-5150481\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Tights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ballet tights are thicker and more durable than normal tights, which means that you have to use an alternative method to wash them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To hand-wash your tights, fill a basin with cool water and add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/get-creative-with-your-empty-detergent-bottle\/\">gentle detergent<\/a>. Once your laundry detergent has dissolved, completely submerge your tights in the water, and swish them around in a circular motion. To ensure that the detergent reaches every area of your tights, rub them in the palm of your hands until you reach the bottom of them. Once you are satisfied, rinse them under a cool running tap until all of the bubbles have stopped running from the fabric.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would prefer to wash your tights in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/5-things-you-didnt-know-you-could-clean-in-the-washing-machine\/\">washing machine<\/a>, place them in a mesh laundry bag first. This will prevent any snagging and potential rips. Make sure that you use a cool and gentle machine cycle and a mild laundry detergent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your tights have been washed, leave them to air dry. If you need to dry your tights quickly, use the air-only cycle of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/tumble-dryer-care-guide\/\">tumble dryer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Tights.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@budgeron-bach?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Budgeron Bach<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/unrecognizable-instructor-and-little-ballerina-in-pointes-stretching-feet-in-studio-5150458\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Leg warmers\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leg warmers keep the leg muscles of ballet dancers warm to prevent muscle spasms. They are often made from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/the-right-way-to-care-for-cotton\/\">cotton <\/a>or synthetic fibers, so the most effective way to wash them is by hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Begin by filling a basin with cool water and add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/powder-vs-liquid-laundry-detergent\/\">mild liquid laundry detergent<\/a>. Once your detergent has completely dissolved in the water, add your leg warmers. Allow them to soak in the water for around 10 minutes, before gently squeezing each leg warmer to ensure that the detergent has fully penetrated the fibers. Once you are satisfied that your detergent has been worked thoroughly into each leg warmer, rinse each warmer under a cool running tap until no bubbles are left running from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/natural-alternatives-to-fabric-softener\/\">fabric<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To dry your leg warmers, never wring them out as this will only cause them to become misshapen. Instead, press out any excess water by gently squeezing each leg warmer between the palms of your hands. Lay your warmers on a clean towel, and wait for them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/air-dry-vs-tumble-dry\/\">air dry<\/a>. This may take a while, so be patient and ensure that you leave plenty of time between when you wash your leg warmers and when you next need to wear them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ballet-dancer.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@ivan-samkov?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Ivan Samkov<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/woman-in-white-dress-walking-on-gray-concrete-floor-5255013\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Tutu<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tutu is the stand out of any ballerinas outfit, which is why it must be cared for and cleaned.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-hand-wash-clothes\/\">hand-wash<\/a> your tutu, begin by pressing it in between two clean towels. These towels will prevent your tutu from tearing under its own weight or floating to the top.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, fill a basin with cold water and add a mild laundry detergent. Once your basin is filled, submerge your towel-covered tutu and leave it in the basin for 5 minutes. You must make sure that your tutu is completely submerged in the water to ensure that it is fully cleaned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 5 minutes, remove your towel-covered tutu and rinse both the towels and tutu with cold water. Continue rinsing until no bubbles run from either the towel or the tutu. Once you are satisfied that all of the detergent has been rinsed out, remove your tutu from the towels and check for any lingering marks. If you do find marks, gently scrub them with a soft-bristled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-toothpaste-stains\/\">toothbrush<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To dry your tutu, either lay it flat on a clean and dry towel, or hang it up. If you are hanging your tutu to dry, make sure that you hang it in an open area where there is plenty of fresh air to help with the drying process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would rather use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/5-signs-you-need-to-replace-your-washing-machine\/\">washing machine<\/a> to wash your tutu, make sure that you first place it into a mesh laundry bag to prevent any rips.

It\u2019s important to remember that, no matter how dirty your ballet slippers become, you should never put them in the washing machine. This will only misshapen your slippers and create an ill fit the next time you wear them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To remove any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/cleaning-your-childrens-dirty-sports-kits\/\">dirt <\/a>and dust from your ballet slippers, simply use a wet cloth to gently rub them.
