I guess this board would be the right place to ask this.

My uncle from Houston sent me 2 jeresys and ive worn them about 3 times and its time for them to get cleaned.

Any suggestions on how to handle them?

Sheep will give you all the correct details, but I hand-wash mine inside-out and let it air dry if it has lettering on it.

Machine wash (cold) with air dry. The sponsor will almost always be that same type of lettering as is on the back, so if you want to keep that on the shirt don't dry it.

Wash inside out (hand is better, but I'm too lazy for that... That's what she said), minimal dry time under minimal heat.

My dryer is like a plutonium oven, so I do low heat for 10 minutes.

Also, don't wash the damned thing every time you wear it (provided you aren't wearing it to a smoke filled bar, or sweating in it).

Won't last for longer than a few days. You'll have to reapply constantly.

I usually throw mine in with the normal wash and hang dry them.

If it's the lextra (fuzzy) numbers... Go to Hobby Lobby, buy some fabric glue. Apply the absolute thinnest amount you can. Place a towel over the numbers and iron over the top.

Hot iron directly to the numbers will probably frick them up.

My red sash Landycakes kit lettering got fricked up, and I washed it the right way and only when necessary. Kind of sucks, but I got for a really deal on ebay from one of you guys' link.

Semen stains are generally pretty difficult to remove
