Step by step
- ✓Wash soon after the game. Sweat left in polyester causes odor.
- ✓Turn inside out to reduce rubbing on the design.
- ✓Cold water, gentle cycle, with a mild detergent.
- ✓No bleach, no fabric softener. Softener coats performance fabric and stops it wicking.
- ✓Hang to dry out of direct sun, or tumble on low.
- ✓Don't iron the printed areas, and never dry clean.
Odor and stains
For odor, soak for 30 minutes in cold water with a cup of white vinegar before washing. For grass and dirt, rinse in cold water and treat with a mild stain remover before washing. Never use hot water on stains: it can set them. Signature fabric has an anti-microbial treatment that helps with odor.
Team laundry
If the team manager washes the uniforms, wash all jerseys of one color together, close any zips, and don't overload the machine so they rinse properly.
