Eric Emanuel shorts are made from lightweight mesh fabric that needs careful washing to stay in good shape. Most people damage their shorts by washing them the wrong way. If you follow the right steps your shorts will keep their color, shape, and softness for a long time.

Check the Label First

Before you wash your shorts always check the care label inside. The label tells you exactly what the fabric can handle. Eric Emanuel shorts are mostly made from mesh polyester fabric. This fabric does not like hot water or high heat. Always read the label before doing anything else.

Turn the Shorts Inside Out

Turn your shorts inside out before putting them in water. This protects the outer print and the EE logo from rubbing against other clothes. It also protects the color from fading during the wash cycle. This one small step makes a big difference in how long your shorts stay looking new.

Use Cold Water Only

Always wash Eric Emanuel shorts in cold water. Hot water shrinks mesh fabric and breaks down the stitching over time. Cold water cleans the fabric properly without causing any damage. Whether you are hand washing or using a machine always set the temperature to cold.

Choose a Gentle Detergent

Use a mild detergent when washing your shorts. Strong detergents with bleach or harsh chemicals damage mesh fabric and fade the color fast. A small amount of gentle detergent is enough to clean the shorts properly. Never pour detergent directly on the fabric. Mix it in the water first.

Hand Wash Is the Safest Option

Hand washing is the best way to clean Eric Emanuel shorts. Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Put the shorts in and gently move them around with your hands. Do not scrub or twist the fabric hard. Let them soak for five to ten minutes then rinse with clean cold water until all the soap is gone.

Machine Wash on Gentle Cycle

If you use a washing machine always select the gentle or delicate cycle. Put your shorts inside a mesh laundry bag before placing them in the machine. This stops them from getting tangled with other clothes and protects the fabric during the spin cycle. Use cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid washing them with heavy items like jeans or towels.

Never Use Bleach

Do not use bleach on Eric Emanuel shorts under any condition. Bleach destroys mesh fabric, removes color, and weakens the stitching. Even a small amount of bleach can permanently damage your shorts. If you need to remove a stain use a gentle stain remover that is safe for synthetic fabric.

Dry the Right Way

Never put Eric Emanuel shorts in a dryer. High heat from a dryer shrinks the fabric and damages the elastic waistband. After washing gently squeeze out the extra water without twisting the shorts. Lay them flat on a clean dry surface or hang them in a shaded spot. Let them air dry naturally away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight fades the color over time.

Remove Stains Carefully

If your shorts have a stain do not rub it hard. Take a soft cloth and gently dab the stain with cold water mixed with a little mild soap. Work from the outside of the stain toward the center. Rubbing the stain outward makes it spread. After treating the stain wash the shorts normally as described above.

How Often Should You Wash Them

You do not need to wash Eric Emanuel shorts after every single wear. If you wore them for a short time and they are not visibly dirty or sweaty you can wear them one more time before washing. Over washing shortens the life of any fabric including mesh. Wash them when they are actually dirty or after heavy use.

Store Them Properly

After your shorts are fully dry fold them neatly and store them in a drawer or on a shelf. Do not hang mesh shorts for long periods because the fabric can stretch out of shape around the waistband. Storing them flat keeps them in the right shape for longer.
