Looking after your football jerseys properly keeps them lasting longer and looking fresh. Here are our best tips for preserving the colour, the print and the fit.
Washing advice
- Wash at 30°C maximum – use a gentle cycle for the best result.
- Hand washing is recommended – where possible, wash the jersey by hand to minimise wear.
- Turn the jersey inside out – this protects the print from damage and fading in the wash.
- Wash with similar colours – avoid discolouration by washing the jersey with garments in similar shades.
Drying and aftercare
- Let the jersey air dry – avoid the tumble dryer, as the heat can damage both the fabric and the print.
- Skip the fabric softener – softener can degrade the quality of the fabric and the durability of the print.
- Iron carefully – if you need to iron the jersey, use low heat and avoid ironing directly on the print.
Extra tips for a longer life
- Wash the jersey soon after it gets dirty or sweaty to prevent odours and stains setting in.
- Store the jersey on a hanger or folded in the wardrobe to keep its shape.
Follow this advice and your football jerseys will stay looking sharp for longer – and feel like new every time you wear them.
