Product Care
Most of our jerseys are made of either polyester or another synthetic fabric, which are usually easy to clean and dry. However, the heat-pressed decals (numbers, sponsor logo, or name) on them need extra care while washing to avoid any damage.

Remove the stains by hand
Before putting the jersey into
the washer, remove the hard stains on the fabric and the stickers. Sweat stains
are easier to remove, but grass, blood, mustard, ketchup, or beer can be
stubborn. Here’s how you can get rid of them before putting your jersey into
the washer:
- Dampen the stained area in cold water.
- Apply the prewash stain removing agent (you can
use vinegar, soap, or shampoo) on the stain.
- Rub it gently with a stain removing a sponge or a
soft-bristled toothbrush and squeezing out the excess moisture.
- Remove the stains as soon as you can before it
becomes harder to remove.
Prepare them for washing
- You’ll need to consider the color of your
jerseys (in case you’re washing all of them together), and other clothes you’re
washing along.
- Wash your white jersey separately as colors from
other clothes may bleed during the wash. Also, wash the black jersey separately
as its color might also bleed.
- Avoid washing your jerseys with blue jeans as it
may cause blue streaks to appear on your jerseys.
- Turn your jerseys inside out before putting them
into the washer to protect the patches, wordings, and stitching from abrasion.
- Unbutton the jerseys to prevent the buttons from
breaking and tie the laces on the pants and hoodies to avoid entanglement.
Clean your jersey in a washer
Cleaning your jersey needs a
‘delicate’ touch even with the washer. Below are some tips:
- Use cold water for washing your jersey. Hot
water may cause fading, shrinking, and damage to the decals.
- Use good quality, bleach-less, and
color-protecting (powdered) detergent powder. Liquid detergents do not dissolve
well and contain elements that can ruin your jersey.
- If your jersey is stinky, add vinegar to the
washer to neutralize the odor. However, add the vinegar through the bleach
dispenser, otherwise, your jersey will absorb the vinegar odor.
Tips to Properly Dry Your Jersey
Avoid improper methods to dry
your jersey. They may cause damage to the fabric and the decals. Take the
following steps to properly dry your jersey:
- After taking the jersey out of the washer, turn
it right side out, and shake it. This will prevent the stickers from sticking
together.
- Hang dry or flat dry under the sun. You may
cover it with thin fabric, to protect from the sun’s excessive heating.
- Avoid using the dryer as the high heat may cause letters and numbers to crack or melt together.
- Avoid ironing for the same reason.
