LongDistanceHeart Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't know, it can get pretty confusing. If only clothing came with tags that instructed you on how to wash it, life would be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr_Puck Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 My first experience with acetone did not go well on my Raycroft tonight. I used a piece of cotton and rubbed it in. Nothing. What's worse is that it left a ring around the spot I was working on. I had a thought of pressing an iron over each glue spot (with a towel in between) to loosen the glue. Thoughts on using acetone for glue removal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts on using acetone for glue removal? The ring has happened to me too, I just throw them in the wash after and it goes away for me. Never haven't been able to fix that. I usually just mess around with an iron and an old pillowcase or sheet, it feels better to me than using acetone. Not that it doesn't work, I've just seen what that stuff can do and feel better not using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr_Puck Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Good to know that the iron/cloth approach works. That's next on my list tomorrow. I've been scrubbing my hands for ten minutes, that awful remover smell won't go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah acetone is pretty nasty stuff. I made a mistake back when I did a lot of aquarium stuff and inhaled a lung full of the fumes. My breathing wasn't right for a few days after. That's why I shy away from using it if I can. Burned like hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlereFlammam Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just got an NYR gamer in the mail that smells musty. How do I wash it without ruining the Steiner sticker on the neck? Or am I just stuck with a skunky jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano9 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 A friend recently lost his home in a fire, but managed to salvage some items. Among them, his late father's hockey jersey. The jersey is about 10 years old (Minnesota Wild), and is smoke damaged. Any tips on how to restore it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Throw them back in, add no soap, extra rinse/spin cycle on low spin. That should take care of it. Edited December 13, 2015 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Of_The_Chi Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Very afraid to machine or Spot wash out of fear of ruining it. I honestly dont even know what the stains are lol. Only wore for the WC. Any tips where you can send a jersey for cleaning or what I can do? Tag says do not dry clean.

Machine wash isnt going to ruin the chain stitching or anything? If you can't already tell, I'm really paranoid about this. I don't alway have an extra $300 laying around for a replacement. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Dude, it's a shirt. It's made to be washed. What do you think they do with the players's stuff? They WASH them. After EVERY GAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Best place to take it is your laundry room. Put it in the big wet spinny one with detergent, then hang it up to dry. Don't put it in the big dry hot spinny one. By the way, you wore that once? How drunk were you that it got that stained a you have no idea how?

Brilliant! Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Turn it inside-out, use some detergent and some OxyClean liquid as well. Put it in cold water and wash it on the delicate/gentle cycle. Once it's done, let it hang dry on a hanger. It'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I find that in addition, using the lowest possible spin cycle is good too, results in less creases. And they aren't all that absorbent anyway so you don't need a fast spin to get the excess water out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I've found the Hawks crests to be very durable and forgiving in the wash. I couldn't even count how many times I've washed my first one from the early 90s and it's still in good shape. Like previously said, spot treat, wash cold, hang dry. Repeat if needed.

thebiggoalie Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I've dry-cleaned EVERY type of jersey (ultrafil, airknit, 1.0, 2.0) and never had a problem, even though the tags specify not to dry-clean. Just drop it off for $6 and it will look new again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
