Rawlings Uniform Cleaning and Drying Instructions 
Uniforms should be washed immediately after each use if at all possible, in cold water.
The rinse cycle should likewise be set for cold water. 

We recommend a detergent similar to Tide for Coldwater. 
Prior to washing, turning the garments inside out will help preserve the twill or 
	Perma-print lettering. 	
.. 
Do not wash uniforms with other items, such as towels. 
DO NOT USE CHLORINE BLEACH ! 
Heavily soiled garments (grass, dirt, clay mud), pre-treatment is recommended Spray on 
1) Products such as Spray'n Wash or Shout and leave on-about 
               15 minutes to absorb before washing. 

2) Products such as Stick Stain or Shout Gel can be rubbed on stubborn stains and left overnight,  
    for, washing the next day as well. 

3) For blood stains, it is best to rinse in cold water as soon as possible and if necessary, soak in 
     cold water before Washing. One of the above pre-treatments can also be used, 
                or an oxygen based laundry booster such as Oxy Clean can also be used for blood stains. 
4) An oxygen based laundry booster such as Oxy Clean can also be used to eliminate odor. For ink,       stains, use hair spray. Simply spray on and rub until the ink is gone. 
Then wash as normal. 
DO NOT OVERLOAD WASHER. 
Remove uniforms immediately after washing and hang dry all garments if at all possible. 
DO NOT DRY UNIFORMS ON HIGH HEAT . 
  If you must use a dryer, use a damp dry or air dry setting. High heat can cause shrinkage, perma-print ink to crack, twill to wrinkle, etc. 
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE DRYER. 
The uniforms will stick together, especially those with perma-print ink. 
Remove the garments immediately after the· dryer has finished. 
	DO NOT DRY CLEAN OR IRON. 	 
To avoid static and lint build-up, use an anti-static agent such as Bounce Dryer Sheets. Store in cool, dry area, protected from sunlight & fluorescent lighting.
