Washing instructions for Joma

Joma items, follow the specific care label instructions which generally recommend machine washing at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle, avoiding fabric softeners and tumble drying, and air drying the garment.

Detailed Washing Instructions

• Turn inside out: Always turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect any prints, logos, or numbers from damage and abrasion.
• Washing temperature: Machine wash at a low temperature, ideally no higher than 30°C (cold water is also effective for odors/stains). Higher temperatures can cause the material to shrink and colors to fade.
• Detergent: Use a mild, non-bleach, colour-safe detergent. Avoid using liquid detergents if possible, opting for powder, and absolutely do not use fabric softener, as it can damage the functional fibres and reduce breathability.
• Wash cycle: A gentle or delicate cycle is best to reduce agitation. Consider using a laundry bag for extra protection, especially if washing with other items that have zippers or Velcro.
• Stain treatment: Pre-treat heavy stains (like mud or grass) with a stain remover or by soaking in lukewarm water with mild detergent before the main wash. Do not dry a stained garment, as heat will set the stain.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry the shirt by hanging it up or laying it flat, away from direct sunlight and radiators, to maintain its shape and prevent damage to prints.
• Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting and iron the garment inside out, avoiding direct contact with any printed areas.
• General care: Do not leave the shirt wet or soiled in a gym bag, and wash dark colours separately from lights.
