A football shirt lasts much longer with the right care. Whether it is part of a collection or a favourite you wear often, these simple steps will help protect the print, badges and colours.

Washing

• Turn the shirt inside-out before washing.
• Use a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which can damage prints over time.

Drying

Air dry your shirt rather than using a tumble dryer. Heat can crack printed numbers and lettering and may affect the fit over time.

Storage

Store shirts somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, which can fade colours. Folding or hanging both work well; for valued shirts, a breathable garment bag helps keep dust off.
