Things You'll Need:

- Mild detergent
- Clothes dryer

- Antibacterial wipes
- Towels
- Microporous foam cleaning product
-
Step 1
Check the tags of your lacrosse uniforms, pads and gloves before cleaning. Some equipment can be washed only in cold water or cannot be put in the clothes dryer.
-
Step 2
Turn your lacrosse uniforms inside out. Washing the clothing inside out keeps iron-on numbers and other designs from flaking off in the washing machine.
-
Step 3
Launder your lacrosse uniforms, pads and gloves on the delicate cycle with low agitation. Use a mild detergent as directed on the packaging.
-
Step 4
Tumble-dry your lacrosse equipment on the low setting of your clothes dryer. You can air-dry the pads and gloves if you prefer to avoid shrinkage and bunching of the padding.
-
Step 5
Spray your lacrosse pads with a fabric refresher spray after the pieces have dried. The fresh scent eliminates slight odors that can remain after washing.
-
Step 1
Wipe down both the outside surface and the inside of your lacrosse helmet with an antibacterial wipe to eliminate germs.
-
Step 2
Wash mud and dirt off your lacrosse stick under running water. Dry the stick with a clean towel.
-
Step 3
Remove scuff marks from your helmet and stick with a damp microporous foam cleaning product. Many companies market this type of product as "cleaning erasers."
