NorCalFlamesRangers Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 While traveling, my Rangers winter classic got a few dark spots on it, I don't think they're stains, just dirty areas. A couple are right on the upper edges of the crest. What is the best way to wash the jersey? The crest and numbers are felt, and I don't want to ruin them, obviously.

JoeM7392 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Machine wash cold inside out, air dry. Same for pretty much every jersey ever. I know it scares people thinking they may ruin something, but these things are meant to be washed. Don't stress over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I would add, I wash mine on low spin as well. Jerseys aren't especially absorbent so they don't need a fast spin to squeeze the water out. Using low spin, in my opinion, makes it come out less creased. High spin makes clothes come out in a ball.

Brilliant! Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Years ago when I had one of those, there was a small smudge underneath the crest that absolutely drove me nuts. I tried getting it out with a little water but it didn't work. So, I actually dug out the stitching on the crest, pulled it off gently and then threw the blank shirt in the wash. The stain came out, I sewed the crest back on and bingo! This was a blank though and I see yours is lettered. Try dabbing some water and laundry detergent on there and rubbing it with your fingers. That might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might work. I just put it in the washer, cold, on the "extra light" cycle, and no other clothes. I was nervous because of the felt crest and numbers, I knew the jersey itself would be fine, the felt parts were what I worried about. Everything turned out fine though, it was nearly dry already when I pulled it out of the washer, the dirty areas are cleaned, the crest is perfect, still stiff, no wrinkling, the numbers are fine, colors didn't bleed or anything. Now, I wouldn't wash it on a regular basis, I've had it for a year and a half or so, and this is the first time I washed it. The only thing that sucks is that there was a small sticker attached to the tag inside the jersey, I think it was the manufacture date or something, but that obviously didn't survive the wash. Jersey turned out great though, thanks for all the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
