LAUNDERING & CARE OF ATHLETIC GARMENTS

SPEEDLINE ATHLETIC WEAR recommends the following cleaning and storing procedures.

LAUNDRY PREPARATION
• Launder uniforms immediately after each wearing.
• Garments that cannot be laundered promptly should be “rinsed out” in cold water (tap water) and hung individually on rust proofs hangers.
• Perspiration fading will occur if uniforms are left “wet” in a pile or in a travel/laundry bag.

WASHING
• All garments should be washed in “cold water”. Rinse-water temperature should not vary more than a few degrees from wash-water temperature.
• Wash with a “mild” detergent (pH under 10.0) for washing all uniforms. (Ex., Ivory, Biz, etc.)
Do not use chlorine bleach, or any form of bleaching agent or whitener/brightener. (Extensive fading and /or color bleeding will result.
Do not use fabric softeners or laundry boosters which will cause a breakdown of plasticizer and speedcote cracking.
DRYING
 • For best results, uniforms should be hung to drip dry. When tumble drying, use the lowest
temperature or “air only” setting. Remove all uniforms promptly from dryer.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Excessive heat and/or extended drying time will cause
1- Shrinkage that may alter the size of the uniform.
2- Irreparable damage to Speedcote lettering and Speedcote graphics.
#20 Micro fiber warm up fabric Warm ups with inserts must be washed with “cold water” and should be tumble dried.
DRY CLEANING
 • DO NOT DRY CLEAN any uniforms.

STORAGE
 • Dry garments completely before storing. Store in a cold dry area, protected from sunlight and
fluorescent light to prevent mildew and yellowing.
SPECIAL NOTE:
*IF YOUR GARMENT IS A ‘PRO-PAK’ JERSEY AND HAS VELCRO STRIPS ON THE BUTTON PLACKET, THE VELCRO MUST BE CLOSED BEFORE WASHING AND DRYING TO PREVENT SNAGGING AND PILLING OF FABRIC.
