Wash & Wear

Garment Care

Correct care helps custom uniforms keep their shape, colour and decoration quality. Follow the garment label first, then use these practical guidelines for printed, sublimated and embroidered items.

Cold Wash

Wash custom uniforms in cold water where possible and follow the garment care label.

Avoid Heat

High heat can damage prints, fabrics and adhesives, so avoid tumble drying unless the label allows it.

Protect Prints

Turn printed garments inside out before washing to reduce abrasion during the wash cycle.

General Washing

Always check the garment care label first. These guidelines are general advice for decorated uniforms.

  • Wash in cold water with similar colours.
  • Turn printed garments inside out before washing.
  • Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  • Do not soak decorated garments for long periods.

Drying

Heat is one of the main causes of avoidable damage to prints and fabrics.

  • Line dry in shade where possible.
  • Avoid tumble drying unless the garment label specifically allows it.
  • Do not dry clean decorated uniforms unless advised on the care label.

Ironing

Direct heat can damage printed decoration and some synthetic fabrics.

  • Do not iron directly over prints, numbers, names or logos.
  • If ironing is allowed, iron inside out on a low setting.
  • Avoid steam or pressure over decorated areas.

Embroidery & Sublimation

Embroidery and sublimation are highly durable, but correct care still helps garments look better for longer.

  • For embroidery, avoid pulling loose threads; trim carefully if needed.
  • For sublimation, wash with similar colours and avoid abrasive surfaces.
  • Store uniforms clean and dry before the next game, shift or event.
