HOW TO WASH YOUR BASKETBALL JERSEY?

(Tips and tricks to keep your jersey lasting long)

BY: MIKE @JERSEYCONNECT

1. TURN YOUR JERSEY INSIDE OUT

• Turning your jersey inside out will help extend the longevity of your jersey.
• The interior of the jersey will take most of the aggressiveness of the wash cycle. This will leave the lettering/numbering less prone to long term fading.

2. PUT YOUR JERSEY IN THE WASHING MACHINE

• We recommend washing your jersey in its own load or by itself.
• Washing it by itself will reduce any unnecessary damage from other clothing. (zippers, buttons, Velcro, bleeding colors etc.)

3. ADD SOAP

• Fabric softener is optional. (I tend not to use fabric softener because it kinda serves no purpose for jerseys in general)
• DO NOT ADD BLEACH (it will fade the colors).
• If there are spot stains, we recommend using a bleach pen to work on concentrated areas.

4. PUT WASH TO A DELICATE CYCLE

• The delicate cycle is the gentlest wash and will keep your clothing lasting longer.
• We recommend putting the washing cycle in a cold temperature.

5. RECOMMENDATION: HANG/AIR DRY YOUR JERSEY

• Hang drying your jersey will be the best way to preserve your jersey.
• Dryers can be very harsh to clothing. They can loosen stitching due to vigorous spinning and fade colors due to the high heat.
• If you do dry your jersey in the dryer, PLEASE use a low heat and delicate cycle.
