MEET JERSEYS – EXPO ATTIRE – MEET JERSEY WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
*We are so happy to announce that our jerseys have been delivered! Meet jerseys will be passed out at practice on Thursday, October 17th. Athletes will wear their meet jerseys to Expo with their Nike Pros (girls) or athletic shorts (boys), no show socks, acro shoes, and double French braids (girls). Appropriate light makeup is allowed.
*Meet jersey care/washing instructions:
1. Wash in cold water: Sublimated garments should always be washed in cold water to help preserve the vibrant colors of the design. Hot water can cause the dyes to fade or bleed, so it's best to avoid it.
2. Lay flat or hang to dry.
3. Use mild detergent: Choose a mild detergent when washing your sublimated garments. Harsh detergents can strip the dye from the fabric, causing it to fade or lose its color over time.
4. Turn garments inside out: To help protect the design on your sublimated garments, turn them inside out before washing. This will help prevent the design from rubbing against other clothes or surfaces during the wash cycle, which can cause fading or wear.
5. Avoid bleach: Bleach can be extremely damaging to sublimated garments, so it's important to avoid using it when washing your sublimated sports apparel.
6. Don't iron over the design: If you need to iron your sublimated garments, be sure to avoid ironing directly over the design. The heat from the iron can cause the dyes to fade or distort, so it's best to iron on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth.
7. Avoid dry cleaning: Sublimated garments should generally not be dry cleaned, as the chemicals used in the process can strip the dye from the fabric. If you must dry clean your sublimated garments, be sure to use a reputable dry cleaner that is familiar with the special care requirements of sublimated garments.
