The 7 Rules

Keep It
Match Ready

01

Always
Cold Wash

Hot water destroys the fabric fibres and causes dye to bleed. Always set your machine to 30°C or below to preserve colour, elasticity, and fit.

✓ 30°C or below ✓ Delicate cycle ✗ Never 60°C+
02

Turn It
Inside Out

Washing inside out protects the printed crest, name, and number from abrasion against the drum and other garments. Do this before every single wash.

✓ Every wash ✓ Protects printing ✗ Don't skip this
03

No Fabric
Softener

Fabric softener coats moisture-wicking fibres and permanently kills their performance. Use a gentle liquid detergent formulated for sportswear instead.

✓ Sport detergent ✗ No softener ✗ No bleach
04

Air Dry
Only

Tumble dryers shrink synthetic fibres and crack heat-transfer badges and crests. Hang the jersey in a shaded, ventilated area and let it dry naturally.

✓ Hang in shade ✓ Good airflow ✗ No tumble dryer
05

Never Iron
The Print

Direct heat will melt or crack the crest, name, and number transfers. If you need to press it, turn inside out and use the iron on the lowest setting only.

✓ Reverse side only ✓ Lowest setting ✗ Never on print
06

Store It
Folded

Long-term hanging stretches the collar and shoulder seams out of shape. Fold loosely and store flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

✓ Fold loosely ✓ Cool & dry ✗ No direct sun
07

Treat Stains
Quickly

Fresh stains lift easily — set stains don't. Blot (never rub) with cold water immediately. Apply a little sport detergent and let it soak before washing.

✓ Blot, don't rub ✓ Cold water first ✗ Never hot water

Pro Tip

Wash your kit separately from everyday laundry. Mixed loads cause pilling and colour transfer — your Spain home shirt doesn't need to meet your gym socks.
