How to Care for Soccer Jerseys
- 1). Follow laundering instructions. Don't take liberties with these directions.
- 2). Check hang tags before discarding. Special care instructions and/or explanations are often on these tags.
- 3). Care for jerseys promptly. Do not leave wet or dirty jerseys in soccer or gym bags, where smells and stains can develop.
- 4). Launder promptly. Don't allow mud or stains to set.
- 5). Pretreat troublesome spots. In order to ensure their removal, try a homemade technique: Use baking soda or plain seltzer.
- 6). Turn jerseys inside out before laundering in order to protect monogrammed names or numbers and logos.
- 7). Save on ironing: Although care labels give ironing directions, promptly hung jerseys will not wrinkle.
- 8). Stay away from ironing designs. Although most care labels point this out, it is important to emphasize.
