WASHING ADVICE
PROSTAR garments are made using high quality materials under strict quality control conditions. It should be noted that most fabrics discolour due to staining by substances such as mud and grass which may not be entirely removed by washing.
We recommend removing as much mud from the garment as possible before soaking/washing. Follow detergent manufacturers’ instructions particularly with powders/liquids designed for heavy stains. Avoid products containing chlorine bleach that may damage fabrics, trims and decoratives.
Soaking garments in water and detergent as soon as possible can reduce discolouration. Use at least an equal amount of water by volume to that of the garments being soaked/washed. Make sure all parts are fully immersed. Pale kits such as White, Yellow, Sky and Tangerine may require more attention and the use of prewash soakers will assist in the removal of stains.
Do not overfill the washing machine with garments since if the ratio of water to garments is too small, dirt can easily be redeposited. This can stain all the garments grey.
We do not recommend fabric conditioners on jerseys and shorts which may cause a build up of film on fibres. This can prevent the washing process from penetrating filaments and dislodging dirt. However, socks will benefit from fabric conditioners and softeners.
PROSTAR will not accept liability for discolouration or damage to garments which is attributable to staining caused by elements foreign to the materials used in manufacture.
CUSTOMISING YOUR GARMENT
Please check your order carefully before printing/embroidery as PROSTAR are unable to exchange goods after customisation.
PROSTAR will not accept responsibility for goods incorrectly supplied which are then printed or embroidered nor for goods incorrectly printed or embroidered by sources other than Star Sportswear Ltd.
Many PROSTAR garments are manufactured using high quality sublimation print processes. Trained operators should carry out any further process involving inks or heat.
PROSTAR is unable to offer advice on the application of decorative products other than those it supplies and will not accept liability for any damage and/or discolouration attributable to decorative products applied by others.
HEAT APPLIED LOGOS/BADGES
- Do not exceed contact temperature of 160ºC or 40 seconds dwell time since fabrics may shrink and distort
- Use a suitable protective layer to prevent dyes re-printing accidentally on other areas
- Always keep surfaces free from dirt
- Ensure zip components are not trapped between press surfaces
SCREENPRINTING
- Protect from heat any fabric that is already printed to prevent transfer of dyes between fabric surfaces
- During the process do not allow newly printed fabric areas to touch other parts of the garment
- Maximum curing ambient temperature 160ºC
EMBROIDERING
- We recommend using a needle size 70 to avoid splitting fibres
