Taking to her TikTok social media page, Lahey took viewers through the “long process” of washing her kit.
In a voiceover at the beginning of the clip, she is heard saying: “Clean my DCC uniform with me.
“If you’ve ever wondered how we keep these clean or how we wash them, this is the video for you.
“I start by removing all of my velcro stars. Yes, they’re on with velcro. That typically shocks people.
“And we can also remove the big belt buckle.
“Another little fun fact is that we pin the lapels down, but you have to remove the safety pins before you wash it so you don’t leave any rust on the uniform.”
Despite the odd video subject it seemed to go down well with fans, as the 92-second clip racked up more than three million views and almost 264,000 likes within five days of posting.
She then grabbed her stain spray which she said she uses to remove any dirt from the field or self-tanner that might have rubbed off onto the uniform.
Lahey, a graduate from the University of Kentucky, continued: “This is a stain spray that I use to get out any dirt and tanner.
“There are certain ingredients that we are not allowed to use on the uniform — and surprisingly, this material is very forgiving and easy to clean.
“The blouse is a much simpler process. You just turn the sleeves wrong-side out, use a free and clear detergent and put it on gentle wash.”
Lahey then finally gets on to the stars of the uniform, explaining: “I put them in a Tupperware with warm water and Dawn dish soap.
“After the white pieces of my uniform have soaked for a little bit, I tied them in pillowcases and put them in a gentle wash with free and clear detergent as well.”
After removing them from the washing machine, she concluded: “It’s time to put the stars back on — and there’s a little hack.
“Each star has a little pink dot of marker at the tip of the star. This ensures that the same tip of the star is getting dirty, so it’s easier to clean.
“Now everything’s good as new!”
Lahey, who first joined the DCC for the 2024-25 NFL season, has more than 65,000 followers on the platform.
