How do you wash the dirt off a football shirt?

Have you ever thrown a T-shirt into the washing machine and, after taking it out and drying it, found that unwanted dirt still remained on the fabric? In this short tutorial I will try to explain to you how you can easily deal with this. I'll point out in advance that I'm not guaranteeing success, as there are stains and dirt that this method won't work on, but it does deal with many that your washing machine can't handle.

You will literally need 3 things to do this:

Magic sponge, which you can buy both online and in popular discount stores, is ridiculously cheap.

Stain-removing soap, which you can easily purchase online.

Sink and hot water tap, which you most likely own and do not need to buy.

Let's fly, the washing process itself is trivial, but in the case of heavier soiling it can prove to be quite time-consuming and tiring.

  1. Turn on the waterRinse off the soiled area and wait until the temperature is warm (not boiling).
  2. Soap rub the dirt so that its presence is marked on the fabric.
  3. Sponge Run warm water over it, squeeze it out and start rubbing the desired point until it is rubbed off. You don't have to be afraid of hard rubbing, the sponge is designed to wear itself out instead of the material.
  4. Successively, over time check for contamination By washing them with water. If it has come off, move on to the next point, if not, repeat the first 2 until done. If you see that further washing does not do anything, unfortunately, but this way will not help your case.
  5. Peel wash the area with cold water to get rid of any foam and sponge residue, then gently wring it out, unless there are prints in the area, in which case do not do this.
  6. T-shirt hang on a hanger and hang it from the tap in the shower or bath, then wash it all off with cold water.
  7. It may be the case that the shirt will feature brown stains, don't worry about it, it's normal and to get rid of them, just wash it by hand (guide #1)
  8. Wait until most of the water has drained into the shower/bath and when it is no longer so wet, post it on the hanger, you can place a towel underneath for safety so that it collects any remaining dripping water,
  9. Done!

Caution: beware of pressed sponsor/name prints, which, if they are of poor quality and years old, can become even more damaged using this method.

I hope this guide helps at least some of you and remember to do it at your own pace, as haste is not a good advisor in this case!
