Default Best way to clean RBK Edge jersey?

So I have an away jersey with a little bit of dirt on it and I want to clean it. It's not a stain or anything, but just a little grey where it should be white on one spot. I went to the dry cleaners and they wouldn't take it because it says not to dry clean... and I'm scared to put it in the wash because my old CCM home has been through the wash and the edges of the flaming C frayed a bit.

I have the RBK semi-pro or whatever... the second one down from the pro one. Has anyone put theirs through the laundry yet? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hand wash it with woolite or something. Or just washer detergent and a scrub brush

I use Zero on my jerseys.

Made the mistake of trying to clean hot wing sauce of my Jets jersey with Tide. Now the jersey actually looks like it's 14 years old.

Hand wash a jersey? Are you guys women? Turn it inside out and put it in the washing machine. That is what I do with all my Authentic jerseys, NHL & NFL, they all look as good as the day I bought them. Maybe hang them to dry if your worried about wrecking them.

Exactly. I hang mine to dry which takes very little time with the fabric. If you are really paranoid and your washer has a hand wah/delicate cycle use that.

Any experience with an old school fabric signed jersey? Will the signature come off? fade? I was planning to hit up the dry cleaners but I did notice the "do not dry clean" statement on it.

I don't have any signed jerseys. I would assume that the signature would fade with washing though.

Use the delicate cycle of your washing machine and make sure you use the cold water setting plus woolite. When done, hang dry. Have a Bobby Orr jersey and this method works great.

I made the mistake once of sticking a jersey in the dryer - it shrunk

My koho original is still okay, a little freyed but still good. Plus the C is so messed up with this new one it is all krinkly and i can hear the glue crinkle. Going to try to iron it and see what happens.
