What are the Ways to Take Care of Your Custom Sports Jerseys?

Every true sports fan has custom sports jerseys for their favorite teams. These are no doubt expensive and we wish that they would last long. These are some of the very basic things to keep your jersey intact and long lasting.

When you have to wash, read the care label. Use cold water when it says to use cold water. It may sometimes say not to put it in the dryer and you must follow it. Treat marks and stains like those of mustard, ketchup etc before you put it in the washer. Turn it inside out as this will protect the numbers and lettering. Maintain the water temperature as mentioned or else using hot water can fade the colors away, shrink it and may even damage the letters.

Having removed from the washer, turn the right side out. To dry your jersey just make it lie flat or hang it for air drying. Do not iron as the high temperature can burn a hole or melt the letter. If however, you do need to iron, then use a cloth and set the temperature to low.

When repairing the letters and numbers ensure that the jersey has been cleaned clean so as not to let stains accidentally set-in. Set your iron on high temperature with no steam and placing your custom sports jerseys with the letters facing up, cover the curling section with a tough sheet of white paper.

Make sure to use just the tip of your iron and do not use the flat bottom of the ironing surface. Then just over the white paper, start pressing the edges of the letter. Start slowly, with very short pressings with just tapping the edges of the iron for only a few seconds. Increase the time slowly until the letters start sticking to the custom sports jerseys.
