Troubleshooting

Jersey appears to have shrunk after washing

Ensure you followed the washing and drying instructions carefully. If air drying, ensure it was not exposed to excessive heat. For minor shrinkage, gentle stretching while damp may help. Consider hand washing in cold water for future washes.

Color fading or bleeding

Always wash with like colors in cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid direct sunlight during drying. Pre-treating with a color catcher sheet can also help prevent bleeding.

Logos or print peeling

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly over printed areas. If peeling has started, cease ironing and consider professional garment repair if the issue is significant.
