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 pre-wash 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 re-deposited. 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
