St. Patrick Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I have a jersey thats auto'd (sharpie), is it o.k. to wash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I have a jersey thats auto'd (sharpie), is it o.k. to wash? should be ok as long as you wash it on the gentle cycle but it will probably come out a little lighter then before. I washed my Robitaille auto'd jersey twice and the auto was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHLGuy20 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Maybe it's just me, but personally, I would NEVER wash an autographed jersey or a game-worn jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 On a related note, how would you get rid of an auto from a jersey. I have one (that I don't care much for) signed on the jersey itself (and the jersey is white) Any tips on removing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saviola7hk Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hand wash the jersey will be the safest way to do. Machine wash with gentle cycle works well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I soaked an old Devils authentic (1992-93 Ultrafil) in Oxyclean, which wiped out not only about 95% of the signature, but also the yellowish haze that was all over the jersey. I also took a picture of the "after" water in the bucket. How one jersey can turn it that deep a shade of brown is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curry1fan Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I wash my autographed jerseys inside out. That's the best thing to do if you want to keep the autographs looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawksFan719 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 can anyone tell me about dry cleaning jerseys? I've asked before and I know its ok to do it, but I have a white devils Brodeur jersey that needs cleaned up pretty bad and I'm worried about the red from the crest and lettering bleeding into the white.

Nathan Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 How long did you soak it for? I think it was about five or six hours. These pictures show the before, the after, and the bucket that the jersey was soaking in. All that remains of the whole autograph and inscription are what look like hot pink pressure point, kind of like if someone touched a highlighter to it.

I let it soak overnight. No difference on the autograph though. It still looks the same as it went in. Maybe the ink used was a little different on yours than mine. The one on mine looks like black sharpie. I'm going to try rubbing alcohol to see if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had used hairspray to try to loosen it up beforehand; supposedly that breaks down the ink in a Sharpie signature. In my case, the jersey had been laundered so many times that, at most, it took out about 5% of the signature. It's possible that there was enough of a reaction that the Oxyclean did some real damage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I know most people are against the signing of jerseys, but for those who do like it, try to use the sharpie rub-a-dub laundry marker... I've had jerseys signed on the numbers with this marker that have had several washings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
