Help with hockey jersey cleaning

Post by Inkio »

My girlfriend layed her face on my Malkin jersey and her makeup seamed to have made the 'A' an off white color instead of the pure white of the rest of the patches on the jersey.

Anyone know of a good way to clean and whiten the patches on the jersey without damaging them?

Dry cleaner and point out the problem area?

Do what you think is best, and if it doesn't work out, get a new A and have a tailor/seamstress swap it out.

actually I thought this was going to be a question about getting the stank out of a game player jersey.

I thought you weren't supposed to dry clean jerseys

I guess I can try soaking it in oxy clean

Cold water, inside out. Then hang dry it. Do not put it in the dryer! You risk ruining the stiffness of the names and numbers, plus if anything is glued on the jersey you risk numbers, letters pealing.
