Garment Care

DO:

• Wash garments inside out.
• Cold wash kit. Some fabrics, for example those containing elastane or Lycra should be washed at 30oC (or lower, should your machine have a lower setting).
• Wash coloured and white garments separately.
• If hand washing, use a mild soap or detergent and cold/lukewarm water.
• Remove any mud or surface dirt and wash kit as soon as possible after use, as this prevents embedding of stains.
• Always air-dry kit.
• Do not leave garments folded or piled together whilst wet or damp as colour transfer may occur.
• Socks should be washed separately from other items, in particular if the colour differs significantly from the main kit items.
• When ironing, use the coolest setting on your iron.
• Dry kit completely before storing.

DO NOT:

• Overload washing machine. Friction between sublimated clothing and other garments can ‘tease out’ the non-sublimated (white) layers below the sublimated surface.
• Wash with items that have abrasive components (e.g. zips/hooks/clasps/Velcro)
• Wash in hot water (40C or above).
• Tumble dry.
• Use metal hangers, as they can leave rust marks.
• Iron using any setting other than the lowest one on your iron.
• Use harsh cleansers, chlorine bleach or bleach substitutes.
• Use fabric softener, as this will reduce the wicking properties of the garment.

Whilst we will replace any garment that has a manufacturing defect, we cannot accept responsibility for any damage that arises from incorrect garment care.
