Looking for tips on cleaning a white jersey.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would like to have the ground in dirt/clay out without fading the rest of the Jersey.

I know there will be some good ideas so thank you in advance.

There is a bar called FelsNaptha. (Not sure if spelled exactly right). It works great! Around here (IN) you can buy it at some Krogers or Ace Hardware Stores. I believe in the Laudry area.

Using a lot of Spray and Wash on the stained areas. Really soak them good--has worked for me.

Biz is the best with stains!! Pre-soak it in a bucket with Biz and then add a scoop to the load when you put it in the washer and it will get just about anything out. Don't use the liquid, the powder works the best.

Fels-Naptha is by far the best on the market and the cheapest. My DD has white pants and is a catcher and loves to get dirty. I have used pretty much everything out there with lots of elbow grease and nothing works better than this stuff.. I wet the area rub the bar of soap on the area pretty thick and let sit for 10 mins. Rinse and apply then use a tooth brush or something that wont snag the material and scrub. I usually do this 2-3 times then throw in wash, comes out clean every time!! I have told all the mom's on our team and they all swear by it.

I would have never thought of fels-naptha. Use it for washing poison ivy off when I get into it. Jersey is looking 100% better. DW will be picking up some biz powder tomorrow.

First year for white Jersey and both her HS and Travel teams have them.

I was confident that good answers would come out from the OFC crew.

Thank You
Mike

Arm and Hammer Washing Soda - only certain stores carry it. Its in a box (not liquid) and is great stuff. Dissolve it in some warm water and soak pants or jersey then wash. Can add to washing machine too. It will clean anything - old furniture (will make it look brand new), walls, floor, etc. I was amazed how well this stuff cleans.

Karna-Kleen spray is awesome as well. You can have this shipped to you by Corken Steel Products out of Dayton. I believe a 64 oz. bottle cost about $10.00

Tide w/ Bleach powder - make a paste & rub it in w/ either your hand or a light bristle toothbrush. Then back it up with rubbing a little Dawn into the stain. Nothing better.

We have one uniform that is all white pants with all white with red in the top. I've used Spray N Wash on the stain, rub it in good and then I throw it in the wash with regular detergent and a Oxi Clean Stain Remover. Gets it clean every time and I use cold water, not hot due to the red in the top. Might try the Fel-Naptha cause if that stuff works, can do one process and leave out the Oxi Clean.

Iron-Out works really well too! You can buy it at Menards or Lowes.

I use the oxy clean powder and make a paste. Leave it set for about an hour then soak in hot water.

Believe our team mom's used cascade with some success.

We use Cascade dishwasher liquid detergent. Squeeze some on, let it set and rub a bit. Eliminates grass stains too. For added bonus, pop a liquid gel dishwasher detergent pod thing into your laundry machine. Makes everything really white....

Try a darker colored jersey, then a regular wash cycle will do just fine......:)
