LAUNDERING AND CARE OF ATHLETIC GAME UNIFORMS 

 

1. Prior to laundering a load of new uniforms, a sample uniform should be washed according 
   to label instructions. 

2. All contrasting color items (e.g. belts) should be removed and washed separately. 

3. Check for normal wear and tear so repairs can be made promptly to prevent further damage.
 
4. Launder uniforms immediately after each use.
 
5. Garments that can not be laundered promptly should be rinsed out in cold water 
   and hung individually on rust proof hangers. 

6.Perspiration fading can occur if uniforms are left wet in a pile or in a travel/laundry bag. 
  PRE-SOAK 

7.Soak heavily soiled garments in cold water with a protein release agent for a 
  maximum of 45 minutes.
 
8.Garments should be washed in normal cycle immediately after soaking. 
  WASHING 

9.DO NOT wash whites and colors together.
 
10.Wash only in COLD water (30°C or 65°-86°F). 
   Be careful that water is NOT too cold (Below 30°C , 65°F) which can cause some dyes to run.
 
11.Wash with a mild detergent, ph under 10 (Ivory, Biz, etc.).
 
12.DO NOT USE chlorine bleach, or any form of bleaching agent, whitener, brightener, 
   or laundry booster (excessive fading or color bleeding or weakening of fabric may result). 
13.DO NOT use any fabric softener.
 
14.DO NOT over load washing machine.
 
15.Maintain a high water level in the machine to minimize the mechanical action. 
  
                                       DRYING 

1 For best results, uniforms should be hung to dry on rust free (plastic) hangers. When tumble 
  drying, use the LOWEST temperature AIR ONLY setting. Do not allow uniforms to sit in the 
  dryer after cycle is completed. 

2. If a tumbler dryer is used Jersey's should be dried with the reverse side out. 
   SPECIAL NOTE: 
   EXCESSIVE HEAT WILL CAUSE SHRINKAGE AND IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE PRINTING ON THE GARMENT. 
   NEVER WASH OR DRY USING HIGH TEMPERATURE SETTINGS (over 120°F).

STORAGE
