Special Project!

Easy on the team comments.

I have a special side project. I was asked to see if I could remove the spots on this jersey. Ideas? I don't want to remove any signatures.

What are the spots? Its hard to see in the picture.

Oxidized sugars? Water Stain?

What is the jersey material fabric made of?

The pots seem to be soda spills, maybe even food spills. The jersey is 100% polyester

Have you qualified the spots as theirs? I would make sure that they know IF you work on it there is some risk of brightening the areas.

I'd try a good protein spotter than has an enzyme in it and see how it fares from there. Unfortunately if that doesn't remove it then I think you may need some type of a peroxide type spotter.

I'd use a q-tip or towel and rise with upholstery tool. Allow to dry and evaluate the results. Don't try to do too much. Several attempts are better than one aggressive attempt.

Why doesn't the owner take it to a clothing dry cleaner?

I agree.
My father worked in the dry cleaning business for 25-years before starting this business. They have the solutions, the spotting board and air pressure to make easy work of it.

It is a family members jersey. Good idea with the dry cleaner. I never thought of that. Thanks guys

but he does not want to remove the signatures.

i would start with q tips and some spotting agents you think might work, watch you dont get too close to the signatures, and do not over saturate, hence the Q tips.

I would just replace it with a real jersey!! Believe me, they will thank you!!
