Sports Kit Care Tips

Practical advice to help keep your sports clothing clean and fresh between professional cleans

After the Match

  • Don't leave dirty kit sealed in a bag - allow it to air out as soon as possible.
  • Shake off loose mud and grass before it dries and becomes harder to treat.
  • Avoid aggressive scrubbing, particularly around printed names, numbers and badges.

Proper Storage

  • Store clean, dry kit in a cool place away from prolonged direct sunlight.
  • Make sure kit is fully dry before storing it to help prevent unwanted odours.
  • Hang shirts where possible to reduce creasing and help them keep their shape.

Between Cleans

  • Follow the garment care label when washing sportswear at home.
  • Use a suitable detergent and wash at the temperature recommended on the care label.
  • Turn garments inside-out where appropriate to help protect printed details and badges.

Avoid These Mistakes

  • Avoid washing hotter than the garment care label recommends.
  • Avoid high-heat drying unless the garment care instructions specifically allow it.
  • Do not use bleach or strong cleaning products unless they are specifically suitable for the garment.

Goalkeeper Glove Care

  • Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for your goalkeeper gloves.
  • Allow gloves to dry naturally and keep them away from direct heat.
  • Store them in a suitable dry place once they are completely dry.

When to Use a Professional Clean

  • Stubborn grass, mud or other marks that remain after normal washing.
  • Persistent sweat or other odours that are difficult to remove at home.
  • When you want your kit assessed before an important match, tournament or regular season.

Common Sports Stains We Treat

Grass Stains

Grass marks can be assessed and treated using a suitable stain-treatment approach.

Mud & Dirt

Mud and dirt can be pre-treated where appropriate before the main cleaning process.

Sweat Marks & Odours

Sweat-related marks and odours can be assessed for suitable cleaning and deodorising treatment.

Blood Stains

Blood marks should be treated carefully, with the cleaning approach depending on the garment and stain.

Pro Tip

Deal with heavily soiled sports kit as soon as practical. Fresh marks are generally easier to treat than stains that have been allowed to set. If your kit has stubborn stains or persistent odours, professional cleaning can provide an additional cleaning option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about sports kit cleaning in Cardiff

How long does sports kit cleaning take?

Turnaround depends on the items, cleaning required and current workload. Many sports kit orders can be completed within a standard turnaround, and we can discuss urgent or express requirements where availability allows. If you need your kit back for a particular match or training session, please let us know when you drop it off.

Can you remove grass stains and mud?

Yes, grass, mud and other sports-related marks can be assessed for suitable stain treatment as part of the cleaning process. Results depend on the type of stain, the fabric and how long the mark has been present, so we cannot guarantee complete removal of every stain.

Do you offer team discounts?

We can discuss suitable rates for larger sports kit orders and regular team or club requirements. Pricing depends on the number and type of items and the frequency of the service. If you manage a Cardiff sports team or club, contact us on 029 2023 9257 to discuss your requirements.

Will my kit number or player name come off?

Printed names, numbers, badges and other team branding are taken into consideration when selecting a suitable cleaning approach. However, older, damaged or poorly adhered transfers may already be peeling or cracking. If you are concerned about a particular print or badge, point it out when you drop off the item so it can be assessed.

Can you clean football boots or trainers?

Sports footwear is assessed on an individual basis. Some fabric or canvas trainers may be suitable for cleaning, while leather football boots and specialist sports footwear may require a specialist footwear cleaning service. If you are unsure about a particular pair, ask us before bringing them in.

Do you clean goalkeeper gloves?

Goalkeeper gloves can be assessed for suitable cleaning. Our current price for a pair is ยฃ6.00. The cleaning approach depends on the glove construction and materials, so please let us know about any particular concerns when you drop them off.

Can you remove sweat odours from sports clothing?

Sportswear can be assessed for sweat-related odours and suitable deodorising treatment can be included where appropriate. Results can vary depending on the fabric, garment condition and how long the odour has been present.

Do you offer regular team kit service?

Yes, clubs and teams can contact us to discuss regular sports kit cleaning. Weekly, fortnightly or other arrangements can be discussed depending on your requirements. Larger orders, collection options and suitable rates can also be discussed for local Cardiff teams.

What sports kit do you clean?

We can assess a wide range of sportswear, including football kits, rugby shirts and shorts, cricket whites, gym wear, tracksuits, sports jackets, base layers and goalkeeper gloves. If you have a particular sports item that is not listed, contact us and we can advise whether it is suitable for our service.

How much does sports kit cleaning cost?

Pricing varies by item. Football kits (shirt + shorts) are ยฃ8.50, rugby kits are ยฃ9.50, individual sports shirts are ยฃ5.00, and tracksuits are ยฃ12.00. Additional sportswear items and larger team orders are priced according to the relevant item or service. See the pricing section above or contact us for further information.

What if my kit still has stains after cleaning?

Some stains may remain after cleaning, particularly if they are old, set-in or have affected the fabric. We assess items and use suitable stain-treatment methods where appropriate, but complete removal cannot be guaranteed. If you have concerns about a particular stain, point it out when you drop off the kit so we can assess it before cleaning.

Can I drop off kit on match day?

You can drop off sports kit during our normal opening hours. If you need the kit cleaned urgently for a match, please contact us in advance on 029 2023 9257 so we can discuss the required turnaround and whether an express option is available.
