A long time ago I went into Gunzo's to order a jersey and get skates sharpened....while in there talking to the staff about how to take care of my jerseys in walks Lou Varga-one of the Hawks equipment guys and the staff says "Here, let's ask Lou"...

BEST way to wash a Hawks jersey....Woolite....cold water...hand wash cycle...NEVER USE ANY Downy (fabric softener)....immediately take out of the washer and hang dry....

I have been doing that for over 32 years and every one of my 325+ Hawk jerseys still look brand new...

Woolite is a brand.

I use the same detergent I use for my regular clothes, which has never caused any issues. Its Purex Free & Clear, the one with no dyes and detergents. I already used it because my daughter has very sensitive skin.

I wash it on as gentle a cycle as possible. On my machine, its cold water and low spin. The low spin also helps because it comes out less creased that way. Then I take them out and hang them to dry, and that's it.

My washer is a front loader, with no center agitator, which is also more gentle on your clothes to begin with.

I wash them separate from other clothes, but I do wash 2-3 jerseys together in one shot if necessary.

Never had a single issue.

My colors have never been affected, and we're talking the same colors. What detergent do you use?

OH, I also use the "extra rinse" cycle, to get as much of the soap out as possible.

So just to make sure before I go on washing my jersey, is it okay to use Gain? Just the original, nothing fancy. I don't want to try to wash my jersey with it and end up somehow ruining the fabric lol.

I've never used Gain but I can't imagine any detergent damaging the fabric really, unless it had bleach in it but that's pretty obvious.

I've got a white ultrafil jersey that has a slightly yellowing name bar, is there anything that can be done about that?

I considered just having it stripped and a new namebar put on there but if I can avoid that, it would be ideal.

So, just to be clear, my three customized (tackle twill from EPS) jerseys will be OK in the normal wash as long as I hang them to dry? I've used the delicates cycle before when they weren't customized and I want to be sure that that'll still work without damaging the twill.

Yes, if it came out fine in the washing machine before customization it should be fine after customization.
