Muddy Sports Gear

Good Morning!

With all of the lovely weather we have been having in Melbourne recently I thought a blog about getting mud out of soccer or footy gear was appropriate.

The first thing that I do when dealing with muddy clothing is soak it. Place all of the muddy garments into a buck or laundry troth with warm water, I normally place some napisan vanish into the water as well, and let it soak overnight.

Note: Make sure the sports gear that you are washing doesn't have any grass stains of blood stains. Hot or warm water will set blood and grass stains only cold water will remove them.

Next up I check the sports gear as I put them into the washing machine, pulling out any of the items that still have marks on them so that I can scrub them. Most of the time soaking takes care of most of the stains.

After putting the uniform through the wash the next thing I do is hang it up on coat hangers to let it air dry. Most sports uniforms are made out a lightweight polyester type of material so they will shrink if you put them into the dryer, also the colours have a higher possibility of fading.

Hot, Warm or Cold?

On Thursday I was talking to a regular customer at the Lilydale Supa Laundrette and he asked me about water temperature, more specifically which types of clothing go with which water temperature. So I thought Id post a quick glance guide for anyone who is interested.

Use cool water for:
- Items washed on the delicate cycle, such as pantyhose, lingerie, washable silk, wools.
- Items with a delicate construction, such as an antique fabric, or a lacy fabric
- Any item that you think is going to bleed or the dye will run
- Items that have a protein stain, such as a blood stain, dairy-based stains or bodily fluids
- Items that aren’t exceptionally dirty – those that are just lightly soiled

Use warm water for:
- Dark colors
- Items washed on permanent-press (synthetic materials, etc)
- Items that are moderately soiled

Use hot water for:
- Bath Towels, sheets and all other bedding
- Kitchen Towels, dish rags, pot holders
- Heavily soiled items (sweaty work-out clothes, etc)
- Items of sturdy fabric, such as white cotton t-shirts or underwear
- All cloth diapers
- Cleaning rags and cloths
- Any item that is stained with grease or oils

Melbourne weather and new website

So hopefully everyone has been keeping cool during Melbourne's heat wave. While at the laundrette today doing service washing for some local businesses, Brian and I have come to the conclusion that we need to put an air conditioner in the shop for the comfort of not just our selves but our customers as well.
