Washing:
Read the Label: Always check the care label on your T-shirt for specific washing instructions. Different fabrics may require different handling.
Separate Colors: Wash light-colored T-shirts with other light colors and dark-colored ones with dark colors to prevent color bleeding.
Turn Inside Out: To preserve the print or design, turn your T-shirt inside out before washing.
Use Cold Water: Wash your T-shirts in cold water to prevent shrinking and color fading.
Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent to avoid damaging the fabric fibers. Avoid bleach, as it can weaken the fabric and affect colors.
Gentle Cycle: If using a washing machine, select the gentle cycle to reduce wear and tear.
Drying:
Air Dry: Whenever possible, air dry your T-shirts by laying them flat on a clean, dry surface or hanging them on a clothesline. Hanging them by the shoulders can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade colors, so dry your T-shirts in a shaded area if you're drying them outdoors.
Avoid High Heat: If you use a dryer, use a low heat setting to prevent shrinking and damage to the fabric. Remove the T-shirts from the dryer promptly to prevent wrinkles.
Ironing:
Check Fabric Type: Iron your T-shirt on the appropriate setting based on the fabric. Use low heat for delicate fabrics and higher heat for cotton T-shirts.
Iron Inside Out: Similar to washing, turn your T-shirt inside out before ironing to prevent damage to prints and designs.
