Start with the care label

The small label inside the shirt tells you how to care for it.

  • Check the wash temperature.
  • Check if machine washing is allowed.
  • Check how to dry it.
  • If the label is missing, ask the seller.

The label comes first. Tips for another jersey may not fit yours.

Sound, washable shirtsShirts with loose prints or damaged seams

Turn shirts inside out if the maker says to. A wash bag does not make a banned wash method safe.

Check stains and printed parts

  • Look at the neck, sleeves and hem.
  • Check the names, numbers and badges.
  • Use a stain product only if it suits the shirt.
  • Follow both the shirt label and product directions.
  • Do not mix cleaning products.
A number or badge is peeling. What now?

Stop and ask the seller or print shop. Washing will not fix loose decoration. Do not try a hot iron as a quick fix.

Wash and dry without rushing

  • Use the wash method on the label.
  • Measure the detergent. More is not always better.
  • Give the shirts room in the machine.
  • Use the drying method on the label.
  • Check seams and thick areas before packing.

Do not add heat just to save time. Plan enough drying time before the next game.
