Laundry problem

I have washed a hockey jersey and the emblem in the center is wrinkled and it says do not iron... is there anything i can do? any info would be greatly appreciated thank you

hand-held clothes steamer.

Jago,
Welcome new member! I'm sorry to hear about the laundry problem. Yes, a hand-held steamer should do the trick. You can pick one up at Walgreens, Wal-Mart, CVS, or maybe even the Dollar Store. I have one that is small and I use to carry it when I traveled a lot with the company. They are great to have around for emergencies just like yours.

Now... back to you. Welcome to the forum and if you get the time, please tell everyone a bit about yourself. I'm assuming you have children or else you play hockey.

You can also try putting a towel over it and then ironing it. This way the iron won't burn the logo. Or else put a heavy flat object on top of it and leave it over night. I used to do that with my son's jerseys. I never had any real wrinkles but they always used to sort of curl up.

Jago,

Did you have any luck?

Welcome Jago. Hope you got things straightened out. Let us know.
Anyone know what works BEST for permanent marker. I tried spray and wash, and hairspray so far. Any of you had a tried and true success?

Chick,

With permanent marker - I think you have to use scissors....... to cut the mark out. LOL. (sorry - not so helpful, huh?)

Oh Danita, you just made me laugh out loud!
Great advice! LOL

I'm a stain attractor! Here's a laundry tip. I keep a Spray & Wash stain stick in my bathroom. Whenever I get undressed I search my clothes for stains. I rub the stain stick on the stain and throw the clothes in the laundry hamper. The stain stick goes to work on the stain and when laundry day comes around, my clothes are ready for the washer.

Spray & Wash says you can use a stain stick up to 7 days before washing the clothes. Works perfect for me because I do laundry every Monday.

Welcome to the boomer women forum, Jago. I hope you were able to straighten out your hockey jersey logo.

Chick, I think permenant marker, is um, permanent, isn't it? Kinda defeats the purpose if you can wash it out, doesn't it?

One of my favorite sayings is, "I look good in everything I eat."

If I ever forget what I had for lunch that day, I just look down. A piece of it will be SOMEWHERE on my clothing.

Its hard being me.

We call those "left overs" or "snacks" in our part of the country!

Vicki, thanks for clarifying the "permanent marker" issue with chick....sometimes a "hammer" is better then a "whisper"! lol

I'm afraid the stain stick would turn into "mildew stick"...I ignore the laundry until it makes my hubby nuts -- then HE does the laundry! love it!

me.

Ha, having fun at my expense are you ladies. Well just for that, I'm not telling anyone how to remove permenent marker from clothing.

When I find out, that is...

chick

I have removed so called permanent marker stains with hair spray and dry paper towel, it worked fine...

Permanent marker?? Same thing I do for smallish holes: APPLIQUE.

Y'know, a little embroidered sew-on butterfly, or flower, or Sponge Bob Square Pants.
