I just bought a new jersey with lextra NN, am soaking them right now. So the idea is to handwash them and put them in the spinner to dry, and hang them indoors right?
You shouldn't soak your jersey. Why must soak them?
Just handwash them, no need to soak. Then spin dry and you can iron them.. be careful when ironing them.. because you might ruin the printed sponsors or namesets. Always set to medium heat (2 dots) on the iron and iron them inside out (terbalikkan dahulu jersi then iron them..)
It is not a rule of thumb to do it, but it is one of jerseyman's petua to enhance the lifespan of your jerseys.. It helps bond the glue of the printed sponsors (PU) or namesets (lextra or pu).. So later you won't have namesets that peels off easily and cracked sponsors (don't hang them outside beneath the sun.. if have to, must terbalikkan jersey first).

Are you saying that you just applied the NN on the jersey? I hope you haven't just applied it, cos you're not supposed to wash the jersey for at least 3 days after the application.
Plus I don't think you need to soak your jerseys, just rinse them through.
Yup.. the rule says that you shouldn't wash your jersey after you've applied the namesets.. lextra or PU. But don't worry, it shouldn't effect them, as long as you iron them afterwards (spin dry them and the iron beneath the namesets.. terbalikkan jersi first).
To tell you the truth, I ignore the instructions of not washing your jerseys after applying namesets.. because I want to strengthen the bond of the printed namesets by ironing them inside out while they are still slightly damp (after spin dry)... No need to follow my way so it is advisable to follow what is instructed.
