How to Wash and Care for Your Football Jersey

Short answer: turn your jersey inside out, machine wash it cold, don't use bleach or fabric softener, never put it in the tumble dryer, and hang it to dry straight after the wash. If it needs ironing, use a cool iron on the inside.

Step-by-step washing guide

1. Turn it inside out. This protects the badge, sponsor logos and any name and number printing from friction.
2. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, ideally with similar colours.
3. Skip the bleach and avoid fabric softener, which can damage technical fabrics and printed details.
4. Remove it promptly once the cycle ends so it doesn't stay damp and creased.
5. Hang to dry. Do not tumble dry: heat can crack prints and shrink the fabric.
6. Iron only if needed, with a cool iron and inside out. Never iron directly over badges, logos or printing.
7. Do not dry clean.

Extra care for personalized and Player Version jerseys

• Names, numbers and heat-pressed details are the most delicate parts of a jersey. Washing inside out and avoiding heat keeps them intact for longer.
• Player Version jerseys use a lighter fabric. A gentle cycle and air drying are best.
