Check the Care Label Always read the care instructions on the tag. Some jerseys may have specific washing or drying recommendations. Pre-Treat Stains If there are stains (like grass or mud), gently pre-treat them: Use a mild detergent or stain remover. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damaging the fabric. Turn Inside Out Turn the jersey inside out to protect prints, logos, and numbers from wear during washing. Use Cold Water Wash in cold water to prevent shrinking, fading, or damage to heat-applied graphics. Select a Gentle Cycle Use the delicate or gentle cycle on your washing machine to minimize stress on the fabric. Air Dry Lay the jersey flat on a towel or hang it to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Do not tumble dry, as heat can shrink or damage the jersey’s material and decals.
