Uniform Cleaning Guide

Proper care of your cheerleading uniform ensures it stays vibrant, durable, and full of sparkle.

Follow these step-by-step instructions carefully to keep your uniform in performance-ready condition.

Before Washing

• Remove all accessories like bows, pins, belts, and detachable pieces.

• Close zippers and Velcro to prevent snags.

• Turn the uniform inside out to protect rhinestones and delicate fabric.

• Shake off any excess dirt or debris before placing in the washer.

Washing Instructions

• Always wash uniforms **separately** to prevent friction and color transfer.

• Use **cold water only** on a gentle or delicate cycle.

• Select a **mild, clear detergent** that is free of bleach or fabric softeners.

• Do **NOT** use bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage glue, stones, and fabric fibers.

Drying Instructions

• Lay the uniform flat on a clean towel or hang it up to **air dry** immediately after washing.

• DO NOT use a dryer — heat will weaken adhesives and may cause rhinestones to fall off.

• Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.

Stain Treatment

• Address stains as quickly as possible by blotting gently with a soft cloth and cold water.

• Avoid scrubbing or rubbing stains to prevent damage.

• For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild detergent and gently blot.

Storage

• Ensure the uniform is completely dry before storing.

• Store flat or on a padded hanger to maintain shape.

• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Important Warnings

• **NO Dry Cleaning** — Dry cleaning chemicals will ruin the stones and fabric.

• **NO Ironing** — Heat can melt adhesives and damage embellishments.

• **NO Fabric Softener** — It will weaken the uniform material and rhinestone glue.

Reminder: Following these steps will help extend the life of your Luxe Cheer Apparel uniform, keeping it looking beautiful and performance-ready for every competition.
