Treat The Stains Right Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be quite tempting to say \u2018I\u2019ll do it later\u2019 whenever you see a stain but to properly care for your football kit, don&#8217;t leave it to the last minute and treat the stains right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do wear your football kit when you play football and see any mud or grass on them, tackle the stains the minute you return home instead of waiting for laundry day. The longer you wait, the more chances of odours settling in the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Read Care Labels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sport kits are usually made from polyester and synthetic fabrics. The general rule of thumb is that they can be washed in the washing machine but some parts of the kit such as logos, letters or numbers can fade away in the washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s always best to read the care label and if you want to play it safe, you can also wash your football kit by hand to prevent the prints from fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, be sure to follow the golden rule of laundry; separate the colours. You don\u2019t want your favourite kit\u2019s colours to fade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Don&#8217;t Wash Above 30\u00b0C Setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are washing your football kits at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/washing-at-the-right-temperature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">temperature<\/a> higher than 30\u00b0C  then it\u2019s time to blow the whistle on this habit and stop. Washing above the 30\u00b0C temperature setting will cause the prints to fade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also highly recommend using cold water in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/4-ways-to-make-your-washing-machine-last-longer%ef%bf%bc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">washing machine<\/a> cycle to prevent shrinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, turn your shirt inside out to prevent the numbers and letters from peeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Avoid Tumble Dryer &#8211; Air Dry Instead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting your football kit in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/tumble-dryer-care-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tumble dryer<\/a> is a big mistake that can lead to damage and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/what-happens-if-my-clothes-shrink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shrinkage<\/a>. Even leaving them to dry on radiators is something you should avoid doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, proceed to air-dry your football kit either on a clothesline or on a drying rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world cup is better enjoyed when you wear your favourite team\u2019s kit. Now that you know how to care for your football kit, we hope you have a great time watching the world cup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If in doubt, just get in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laundryheap<\/a> and we will be on the ball and clean your football kit for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laundry<\/a>, we do the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.laundryheap.com\/booking?#step1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scoring!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=495%2C495&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Laundry service app - laundryheap\" class=\"wp-image-10791\" width=\"495\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?resize=164%2C164&amp;ssl=1 164w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dry-cleaning.jpeg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/how-it-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learn more<\/a> about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laundryheap<\/a>, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a> or download the free app on <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/laundryheap-on-demand-laundry\/id1037581290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iOS<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.encureit.laundryheap&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The football world cup is here!
