Jersey Care Tips｜The right way to wash and care for your jersey to extend its life.

A high-quality customized jersey is not only an honor for the team, but also a powerful equipment for daily training and games. If a jersey is not properly cleaned and cared for, it will not only affect the comfort of the wearer, but will also cause the fabric to deteriorate, the pattern to fade and even become deformed.

In this article, UNISTAR will organize jersey maintenance, jersey care points, cleaning details and common maintenance taboos to help you extend the life of your jersey and keep it in the best condition.

Why is jersey care important?

Many people think that jerseys are just a kind of sportswear, but in fact, customized jerseys are more delicate in design and fabric selection, and if they are not washed properly, the totem may quickly fade or peel off. In addition, if the sweat and sebum left behind after sports are not washed immediately, it is also easy to cause odor and fabric wear. Therefore, it is very important to take proper care of your jersey to prolong its life!

Jersey Maintenance Methods

1. Wash as soon as possible after wearing

It is recommended that you take off your jersey and wash it as soon as possible after the game. The salt and grease in sweat will accelerate the deterioration of the fabric fibers and produce a bad smell if they remain attached for a long time.

2. Soak in cold water

Soaking for 10-15 minutes will help to remove sweat and impurities initially, avoiding damage to the fabric from direct power washing.

3. Use a neutral detergent

Choose a neutral detergent with no bleach, no enzymes and no fluorescents to avoid damaging the print and fiber elasticity of the jersey.

4. Hand wash is preferred, avoid machine wash.

Although machine washing is less laborious, it may tear or distort the print. If machine washing is required, we recommend using a laundry bag and selecting "Soft Wash Mode".

5. Do not dry at high temperature

High temperatures will cause the fabric to shrink and deform, and accelerate the fading of the pattern. It is recommended to dry the jersey naturally and avoid direct sunlight.

Jersey Maintenance Points

In addition to proper cleaning, the following are some of the key points in jersey care that will enhance the life of your jersey:

• Avoid softeners: Softeners can block the holes in the sweat fibers, reducing the breathability and wicking effect.
• Turning over during washing: The pattern side is facing inwards to reduce the chance of damage to the printed layer.
• Regularly check seams and loose threads: If you find a tear or loose thread, repair it early to avoid further damage.
• Folding is recommended for long term storage: hanging the jersey can cause it to deform due to gravity, especially if it is made of stretch fabric.

Jersey Care Taboos: Avoid These Mistakes So You Don't Hurt Your Clothes

A lot of jersey damage actually comes from ignoring the little details, and the following are common jersey maintenance taboos:

• Use bleach or strong alkaline detergents: they can damage the fabric and the printed image.
• Washing or drying in high temperature water: This can lead to shrinkage and deformation.
• Excessive sun exposure: Prolonged direct sunlight accelerates color fading.
• Ironing the jersey: High temperature ironing may deteriorate the heat sublimation print.
• Storing without washing: Sweat can cause the fabric to turn yellow, smell or mildew.
