Washing & Maintenance

Here are some helpful tips for washing and maintaining a football jersey to ensure its durability and quality:

1. Pre-treatment of stains:

Before washing your jersey, inspect it for stains and treat them individually with a mild stain remover if necessary. Avoid harsh products that could damage the fabric or prints.

2. Hand or machine wash:

It is best to hand wash jerseys whenever possible, using warm water and a mild detergent. This helps preserve the jersey's colors and details.

If you choose to machine wash, use a delicate cycle at a low temperature (ideally 30°C maximum) to avoid any damage to the fabric or logos.

3. Use of gentle products:

Choose detergents designed specifically for sportswear or technical fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce the breathability and sweat-wicking capacity of jerseys.

4. Proper drying:

Prefer air drying by laying the jersey flat or hanging it on a clothesline . Avoid machine drying, as heat can damage the jersey fibers and prints.

5. Avoid direct ironing:

If necessary, iron the jersey inside out at low temperature (no steam) to preserve logos and prints. Avoid ironing directly on vinyl or plastic logos.

6. Proper storage:

Make sure the jersey is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew. Ideally, store it in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

7. Flocking protection:

When it comes to football jerseys with flocking (such as player names, numbers or logos added after purchase), it is essential to add a specific step to ensure proper care. Here is what you should recommend:

• When washing the jersey, turn it inside out to protect the flocking and heat-sealed prints .

• Use a delicates wash bag or place it in a clean pillowcase before placing it in the washing machine. This reduces friction and preserves the flocking details.

By following this extra step, you will prevent the flocking from peeling off prematurely or the prints from being damaged during washing, thus ensuring maximum durability of your personalized football jersey.

By following these simple yet effective tips, you can extend the life of your favorite football jersey while maintaining its appearance and functionality.
