Dirt, sweat, and many other impurities can easily build up on basketball jerseys during a game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might not think there\u2019s much to washing a basketball jersey as it is a fairly simple task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While that is true, one does need to be careful when doing it as certain incorrect practices may affect the texture and feel of the jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, I\u2019m going to cover the steps to be followed when washing a basketball jersey correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the 5 steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Pre-soak the jersey.<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Prepare the washing machine.<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Put the jersey in.<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Start the wash cycle.<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Dry the jersey.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Read on to find out more about how to wash a basketball jersey. Happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What you need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To get started with washing a basketball jersey, here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. A tub of cold water <\/li>
    2. Mild or strong detergent (a special detergent for basketball jerseys is the best choice) <\/li>
    3. Washing machine with a suitable washing cycle <\/li>
    4. Clothes hanger (for drying) <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1 \u2013 Pre-soak the jersey to remove stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      It is highly unlikely your basketball jersey will be free of stains after an exhausting game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ideally, stains should be removed before the actual washing part. This is usually done by soaking<\/a> the jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To get started, soak the jersey in a tub of cold water for about 10 to 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After that, you\u2019ll need to gently scrub off the stains using your hands. For more persistent stains, soaking the jersey<\/a> for a bit longer does the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 2 \u2013 Prepare the machine and set up the cycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Next, you should set up the washing cycle for the jersey<\/a>. Basketball jerseys should be washed with cold water and a mild or strong detergent (depending on how dirty they are). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For best results, use a dedicated detergent specifically made for basketball jerseys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The wash cycle should be a gentle one and shouldn\u2019t last long. Ideally, a 20 or 30-minute wash cycle is perfect for basketball jerseys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3 \u2013 Put the jersey into the machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Once you\u2019ve prepared your washing machine and selected the correct cycle, throw in the basketball jersey so that the washing cycle can begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u2019re washing your jersey along with other laundry items, make sure you don\u2019t overstuff the washing machine. This may damage the jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Also, avoid wrinkling or folding the jersey too much when you put it in the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4 \u2013 Start the washing cycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Once the cycle has begun, wait for it to complete before you can take out the jersey and start drying it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As I mentioned before, the ideal duration for a wash cycle for basketball jerseys is between 20 and 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 5 \u2013 Dry the jersey properly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This step is important. And doing it incorrectly can affect the feel and texture of your jersey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After the wash cycle is complete, you can either let the jersey dry naturally or put it into the dryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u2019re letting it dry on its own, hang it on a clothesline directly, or use a clothes hanger. In humid or damp weather, the jersey will take longer to dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Alternatively, you can pop the jersey into the dryer and run it on a low-heat setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Washing a basketball jersey isn\u2019t a difficult task, but it does require some care and patience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A basketball jersey can be washed by first soaking it to remove stains and then washing it on a delicate and short cycle using cold water and mild detergent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Afterward, the jersey can be dried outdoors on a clothesline, or in a drier on low heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
