If you or your kids play outdoor sports, you know how quickly uniforms can get covered in hard-to-remove dirt and grass stains. This trick can keep those uniforms looking their best.
Sometimes a regular washing machine just won’t cut it — even if you use a bunch of different detergents. All you really need is a pressure washer and you’ll be ready to slide into home with a pair of baseball pants that look brand spankin’ new. The same trick can be used for guernseys, soccer socks, shin guards and more.
This YouTube video from Abram Butler and this GIF from redditor xian24 shows how easy it is.
Also, notice how that isn’t somebody’s garage. If you don’t own a pressure washer yourself, just take the dirtied sports gear with you the next time you go to wash your car. Hang the pants, shirts, or what have you up on the floor mat clips and spray them down on the rinse setting. They’ll be looking like their old bright-white selves again in no time.
Don’t worry, sports gear is made to be more durable, so, just like you in an intense game, it can handle the pressure.

Sometimes, no matter how many times you run them through the washer, the technical materials used to make exercise clothing just don’t seem to want to come clean.”]
