Aftercare

Congratulations you have purchased a Nike Team Sports apparel garment that has been engineered to the exact specifications of championship athletes and engineered for the rigors of Team Sports use. 

During use your garments may be exposed to extreme conditions which are out of control of the garment manufacturer.  Exposure during the game of play may result in discoloration due to staining by substances as mud and/or grass which may not be entirely removed by washing. The degree and type of staining will directly affect the amount of discoloration. The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for discoloration or damage to garments which is attributable to staining caused by elements foreign to the fabric or yarns used in manufacturing which are beyond the manufacturer's control.

Graphic and Logo Guidelines
Some Nike team Sports garments are constructed out of high quality sublimated printed materials. Despite the high quality process used to create these materials, the fabric dye/pattern may become unstable at temperatures above 70"C.

Care must be taken when applying heat to all Nike Team Sports garments especially during the application of graphics/logos. Nike will not accept liability for any results of graphic applications such as lettering, numbers, logos or motifs being applied by organizations other than Nike. Responsibility for the satisfactory result of such applications must be upheld by the relevant organization. Light colored decorative elements have a high potential to absorb dyes from the materials used in certain garments and care should be taken when applying these elements.

How to care for your performance apparel product?
Care for jerseys promptly the sooner you pre-treat and launder the stained clothes, the better your results will be. Don't allow mud or stains to set. Do not leave wet or dirty jerseys in soccer or gym bags, where smells and permanent stains can develop.
 
The sooner you pre-treat and launder the stained clothes, the better the results will be. If a stain is not removed in washing:
1. Do not dry it.  Dryer heat will set the stain.
2. Soak the stain in a pre-wash. Then launder again.
3. Do not dry a garment until the stain is removed because dryer heat will set the stain.

Once stain is removed launder the garment according to the garment manufacturer care instructions.

Care Definitions
Pre-treat heavily soiled spots. Apply undiluted laundry detergent with a bleach alternative.
Pre-soak heavy stains. Soak stained items in a plastic bucket or laundry tub with the warmest water safe for the fabric and a good laundry detergent for one to three hours. Sensitive stains should be rinsed in cold water, and then washed with a non-chlorine bleach product.
Pre-wash: Used for heavily soiled garments. Run through the pre-wash cycle with the recommended amount of detergent. When wash cycle is complete, drain the pre-wash solution and launder in the hottest water recommended by the manufacturer.
