Comprehensive guide covering how to properly care your tees to ensure longevity. Focuses on the types of fabrics used in your products and the best practices for washing and maintenance. Practical advice on garment care. To keep your tee looking fresh, vibrant and protect the print, follow these steps:
- Turn It Inside Out: Before washing, always turn the tee inside out to protect the printed design. It will reduce friction on the print.
- Cold Water Wash: Use cold water and a gentle cycle to prevent the print and the fabric from fading or cracking.
- Mild Detergent: Use a mild, bleach-free detergent to avoid damaging the fabric and the print. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can fade colors.
- Gentle Cycle: Wash on a gentle cycle to minimize agitation.
- Air Dry: Avoid the dryer as the heat can cause the print to crack or peel. Instead, lay the tee flat to dry or hang it in a shaded area to prevent shrinkage and preserve the print. Air dry the tee by hanging it up or laying it flat.
- Avoid Ironing Directly on the Print: If ironing is needed, place a cloth over the printed area or iron on the reverse side at a low temperature.
- Ironing: If ironing is needed, do it inside out on a low setting, and never directly iron over the print.
By following these steps, you’ll keep your tees looking fresh and vibrant while preserving the quality of the print
