Almost all football uniforms are constructed of a heavyweight polyester weave or mesh. The fabric is more durable than cotton, has stretch for flexibility of movement, and is easier to care for. The use of the proper water temperature, detergent, and stain removal techniques is the key to success.
How frequently should Football Uniforms be cleaned?
Train your player to hand up the American football uniform USA as soon as he or she steps in the door following practice or a game.
Almost every sports uniform becomes dirty and stinky, so the sooner you can get it in the laundry, the greater chance you'll have of removing stains and odors.
Instructions
The Uniform should be rinsed
After each game or practice, rinse the uniform with cold water in a utility sink to eliminate as much loose debris and mud as possible. If you don't have a utility sink, put the uniform on a clothesline and water it down.
Prep the Uniform
Presoaking is critical for achieving a consistent clean. Warm water should be poured into a big sink, bucket, or plastic storage tub. 1 cup baking soda and 2–3 teaspoons heavy-duty laundry detergent
Allow at least one hour, if not overnight, for the uniform to soak. The detergent begins to work on the stains, and the baking soda aids in the reduction of smells. This procedure is safe for both colorful and white materials, however separate soaking tubs for colors and whites are recommended.
Stains should be pre-treated
If the presoak does not remove all stains, use these mud and grass stain removal strategies.
Stains from grass: With a soft-bristled brush, work a dab of heavy-duty detergent into the discolored area. Allow at least 15 minutes for the detergent to operate before washing as normal.
Mud: Using a soft-bristled brush, remove any leftover dirt from the cloth and apply a heavy-duty detergent. Prepare a mixture of oxygen bleach and a few drops of water if the mud is produced by red clay. Apply the paste to the discoloration and wait at least half an hour before washing as normal.
Clean the pads
When washing shoulder pads and other protective gear, detach the plastic shells from the fabric and wipe them off. To treat the pads, use an anti-odor disinfectant spray. If they're significantly discolored, use an enzyme-based stain remover to the afflicted areas for 15 minutes. Place the pads in a mesh laundry bag and toss them in the washing machine.
Fill the washer with water
Turn the football jersey inside out to preserve the lettering and badges, then clean it with the pants. Add no other clothes to the washer, since lint from other cotton or cotton-blend clothing will stick to the numbers and letters on the jersey. Set the washing machine to the regular cycle and use cold or warm water.
Detergent and Odor Control should be added
When washing uniforms, always use a heavy-duty laundry detergent. They have enough active enzymes to cut through the thick dirt and take it off the cloth.
Allow the pads and uniform to air dry
Machine-drying a football uniform can cause the fabric to shrink, set-in stains, fade colors, and remove screen-printed lettering and numbers. Rather, hang the uniform to dry out of direct sunshine. If you must use the dryer, tumble it on low heat using the permanent press cycle. Hanging protective pads to dry is usually a good idea.
