How to Wash Your Jerseys

Preserving Your Legacy for Years to Come

ProGoal Kits Collection

A premium football kit is an investment in your passion. Proper care is the definitive difference between a kit that lasts one season and one that remains a centerpiece of your collection for a decade.

The 3-Step Cleaning Ritual

1. Turn Inside Out

Protect fragile crests, heat-pressed names, and sponsor patches from direct friction against the drum and other garments.

2. Cold Water Only

High temperatures are the enemy of adhesives. Use a cold wash (max 30°C) to keep your jersey’s shape and color vibrant.

3. Mild Detergent

Avoid bleach and softeners. Strong chemicals can clog moisture-wicking pores and cause technical fabrics to lose their breathability.

🚫 The "Never" List

  • NEVER use a tumble dryer; intense heat causes nameplates to crack.
  • NEVER iron directly over heat-pressed patches or vinyl numbers.
  • NEVER wash with heavy denim or items featuring sharp zippers.
  • NEVER wring or twist the fabric to remove excess water.

The "Always" List

  • ALWAYS air dry on a wide plastic or wooden hanger.
  • ALWAYS treat stains immediately with a gentle pre-wash spray.
  • ALWAYS separate whites from vibrant team colors to prevent bleeding.
  • ALWAYS wash in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.

Pro Tip: The Steam Method

To remove wrinkles without an iron, hang your jersey in the bathroom while you take a hot shower. The natural steam relaxes the high-quality polyester fibers without risking any heat damage to the delicate transfers.
