Learn the best practices for washing, drying, and storing your T-shirts to maintain quality and print longevity. Keep your Packingsix tees looking fresh!
Introduction
You found your favorite T-shirt – the one with the perfect fit and the coolest design. But after a few washes, it starts to fade or lose shape. Sound familiar? Caring for your T-shirts properly can dramatically increase their lifespan and keep them looking like new. Here’s how to do it the right way.
Before Washing: Read the Label
Always check the care label. Different fabrics (100% cotton, cotton blends, organic cotton) may have different instructions. At Packingsix, we include care instructions with each shirt to help you wash with confidence.
Washing Tips for Long-Lasting Tees
- Turn Inside Out: This protects the print and reduces friction in the machine.
- Use Cold Water: Hot water can shrink the fabric and fade the design.
- Mild Detergents Only: Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Wash Similar Colors Together: Prevent color bleeding or staining.
Drying Tips: Air Is Your Friend
- Avoid the Dryer When Possible: Heat can damage prints and shrink fabric.
- Air Dry Flat or on Hangers: Helps preserve the shape.
- If Using a Dryer: Choose a low-heat or delicate setting.
Ironing and Storing Your Tees
- Iron Inside Out: Never iron directly on the print.
- Fold Neatly: Or hang them to keep them wrinkle-free.
- Avoid Damp Closets: Store in a cool, dry space to prevent mildew.
