Jersey

Washing jersey garments 

• Read care labels and follow the washing and drying instructions. 

• Only wash jersey garments when truly needed – avoid washing after every use unless necessary. The garments you wear closest to your body on a daily basis naturally require regular washing. 

• Spot treating and steaming are excellent alternatives to a full wash. 

• Between washes, allow them to air out for a refreshed feel or apply garment refresher spray. 

• Wash jersey garments with similar colours to prevent colour bleeding. 

• Turn the garments inside out before washing to prevent pilling and reduce friction on the outer surface of the garment. 

• Opt for the lowest temperature and shortest cycle to prevent shrinkage and reduce stress on the fabric. 

• Use a mild detergent free from harsh chemicals and bleach. 

• Do not overload the washing machine, as this can cause excessive friction and wear on the garments. 

• Consider skipping the fabric softener, as it can leave residues that build up over time, affecting the fabric’s breathability. If a softer feel is desired, use a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle instead. 

   

Drying jersey garments  

• Air dry your jersey garments to help maintain their shape. Be aware that hanging garments can stretch the fabric. 

• When air drying, keep the garments out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation of the fibres. 

• Check the care label before using a tumble dryer, as some jersey garments may shrink. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting and remove the garments while they are still slightly damp to reduce the risk of shrinkage and maintain elasticity.  

Ironing jersey garments 

• If needed, iron jersey garments on a low to medium heat setting. Always iron them inside out to avoid shiny marks and preserve the fabric’s texture. 

Storing jersey garments 

• Fold jersey garments instead of hanging them to prevent stretching and distortion. 

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
