Always Wash Inside-Out
It’s simple: turn it. This protects the print from rubbing against everything else in the machine (especially your zipper-covered hoodie or those jeans with attitude).
Why it matters: The inner layer of your washer is a battlefield. Let the blank side take the hits.
Cold Water Only
Heat is the enemy of prints. So unless you want your bold black graphic turning into a foggy gray mystery, keep it cool.
Best practice: 30 °C (86 °F) is your friend. Hot water is not.
Skip the Tumble Drama
Tumble dryers are like bad exes: convenient, fast, but wildly destructive. Air drying is kinder—on the fabric and the print.
Bonus tip: Hanging it in the bathroom while you shower adds just enough steam to smooth it out.
Don’t Iron the Print. Ever.
Yes, wrinkles are annoying. But never press a hot iron directly onto your graphic. It can melt, crack, or ghost.
Solution: Turn the tee inside-out or place a cotton cloth over the print if you must iron.
Avoid Bleach & Harsh Detergents
Your tee isn’t a white towel—it doesn’t need bleach. Use mild, color-safe detergents that are kinder to both humans and graphics.
Look for: Detergents labeled “gentle” or “for darks.”
Wash With Like Colors
Don’t mix your neon-pink tee with your all-white laundry. The colors might not bleed, but why tempt fate?
Safe zone: Wash darks with darks, lights with lights, and keep your graphic friends together.
Store It Right
Fold it. Don’t hang it for months. Hanging can stretch out the collar and make the print warp like a Picasso fever dream.
Rule of thumb: If you wear it often, fold it like it’s a favorite record.
Rock Your Tee
You’ve cared for it like a pro—now wear your graphic tee loud and proud.
