How do you wash a sublimated jersey?

Machine-wash sublimated jerseys cold and inside-out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Skip bleach, fabric softener and the dryer, and hang to dry in shade. Because the design is sublimated into the fabric, it will not fade or peel with proper care.

Care guide

How to wash sublimated jerseys so they last

Sublimated kits are low-maintenance, but a few simple habits keep them looking new season after season.

In short: turn inside out, wash cold on a gentle cycle, skip the bleach and fabric softener, and air-dry. That is genuinely all it takes.

The simple routine

  • Turn inside out before washing to protect the surface.
  • Cold water, gentle cycle keeps fibres and fit intact.
  • Mild detergent only, no bleach, no harsh chemicals.
  • Skip fabric softener, which can coat performance fabric and reduce breathability.
  • Air-dry in shade. Avoid high-heat tumble drying and direct harsh sun.
  • Do not iron directly on the print; if needed, iron inside out on low.

Why this works

Because sublimation dyes the design into the fabric, the print itself will not crack or peel. Gentle washing simply protects the fabric and the fit, so the whole kit keeps looking sharp.

Will washing fade the design?

No, the colour is in the fabric. Normal gentle care keeps it vivid for seasons.

Can I machine wash?

Yes, cold and gentle, turned inside out.

How should I wash a sublimated jersey?

Turn it inside out and machine wash cold (30°C or below) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Cold water protects both the fibres and the fit.

Can I use bleach or fabric softener?

No. Bleach damages the fabric and softener leaves a coating that traps odour and reduces moisture-wicking. Plain detergent is all you need.

How do I dry a jersey without damaging it?

Air dry in the shade. Skip the tumble dryer and direct sun, as high heat can shrink the knit and stress the seams over time.

Do I need to iron it?

Usually not; hang it while slightly damp and it drops smooth. If you must iron, use a low setting and never iron directly over the print, turn it inside out first.
