Uniform Shirt Washing Instructions
These are the specific instructions we need you to follow to ensure that your shirt is in the best shape possible all season:
- Do not wad the shirt into a ball. Try to keep it loosely folded or hung.
- Wash the shirt each time you wear it. Sweat will stain the fabric if it is left.
- Hand wash, or use the delicate cycle on the machine, with cold water & mild detergent. Wash separately from other items
- If washing in the machine, turn the shirt wrong side out. For added protection, you may place the shirt in a lingerie bag.
- Lay flat or hang to dry. Do not wring excess water out or machine dry. Gently squeeze the excess water out before hanging or laying out to dry.
- No bleach
- No fabric softeners
- Do not rub fabric together. If hand washing, gently squeeze the detergent and water through the fabric.
- Do not iron or dry clean
ORDERS ARE DUE TODAY BY 6PM!
