Pretreat The Stain
It can be tempting just to toss that stinky jersey into the
laundry, but if you want to get stains out you need to pretreat them before
they set. Use a laundry stain remover to spray or apply to the stain and allow
it to set for at least 10 minutes. Then toss it in the laundry and wash it.
Soak It
Sometimes a stain can be easier to remove if it has been soaked
before it is washed. You may choose to pretreat the stain before you soak it
soak it is a laundry booster that has the ability to remove stains.
Check Before You Dry
Before you put, the treated and washed jersey into the dryer
make sure the stain is gone. If the jersey is dried with the stain still on it,
it could be harder to remove it. Heat can make a stain and that is the last
thing you want to happen. If the stain does not come out during the first wash,
treat it and wash it again.
Football jerseys are always going to get dirty and stained, but
they don’t have to stay that way. By treating the stain and removing it
properly, you can remove them. The next time you have a dirty football jersey to
wash remember to check it for stains.
