How To Wash Soccer Jersey

To best maintain soccer jerseys and shorts with hot-transfer printed details, we recommend washing by hand. Here are detailed cleaning and care suggestions:

Hand Wash Instructions

1. Preparation: Turn the jerseys and shorts inside out to protect the printed designs and numbers.
2. Soaking: Add a small amount of neutral detergent to cold water and soak the jerseys and shorts for 10-15 minutes.
3. Gentle Washing: Gently rub with your hands, especially on stained areas, but do not scrub the printed areas too hard to avoid damage.
4. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cold water to ensure no detergent residue is left.
5. Drying: Do not wring out the jerseys and shorts. Gently squeeze out excess water, then lay flat on a clean towel or hang in a shaded area to dry, avoiding direct sunlight.

Machine Wash Instructions (If Necessary)

1. Preparation: Turn the jerseys and shorts inside out to protect the printed designs and numbers. Use a laundry bag for added protection.
2. Wash Settings: Select a cold water and gentle cycle. Use a neutral detergent, avoiding bleach-containing detergents.
3. Washing Load: Avoid washing with rough or color-bleeding items to prevent snagging or staining.

Drying and Storage

• Drying: Do not use a dryer. Gently squeeze out excess water, then lay flat on a clean towel or hang in a shaded area to dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Storage: When not wearing the jerseys, hang them up to maintain their shape.

Special Considerations

• Avoid Hot Water: High temperatures can deform the fabric and cause the printed designs to peel off.
• Avoid Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and colors of the jerseys.
• Avoid Direct Ironing: If you need to iron, do not iron directly on the printed areas. If the printed designs peel off, lay the jersey flat, cover the letters and numbers with clean, non-stick plastic paper or stencil, and iron at 150°C for 7-8 seconds. If it doesn’t work, iron again.

Following these washing and care suggestions will help extend the lifespan of your soccer jerseys and shorts, keeping them vibrant and in good shape.
