There is nothing worse than taking that favourite t-shirt out from the washer and it looks completely different. Clothes these days lose their shape and sometimes even their prints after washing. So here’s a few tips on how to care for your awesome Teerify Tee and keep it in shape and full of colour.
1. Wash similar clothes together
It’s not just about the colours, it’s also about texture. Wash garments with others that are of similar fabrics. Denim and other pieces with zips and buttons should be kept separate from T-shirts, for example. This is due to the fact that when harsher materials rub against softer ones, it may cause prints to peel.
2. Wash Gently
The safest way to wash your tee is by hand wash, preferably lukewarm water using a hand wash detergent. Alternatively washing your garment on the delicate cycle in your washing machine is another way to really care for your favourite Teerify T-shirt.
3. Avoid the dryer
Excessive heat can be damaging to your tees. They not only shrink garments, but can also make a print peel or crack. Save the machine for sheets and towels, but hang your clothes the old fashion way. And if you are hanging it out in direct sunlight, make sure to turn the shirt inside out when in the sun.
4. Avoid bleach
Not only bleach, but also other strong detergents like softeners which can dissolve the adhesive in cad-cut vinyls. Instead, go for a milder soap that will take care of your clothes.
5. Be careful how you iron
If you absolutely must iron your printed garment then we’d advice to iron around the prints to get that crisp look or use the lowest setting to iron the garment inside out.
Using the above T-shirt caring tips will certainly prolong the life of your Teerify T-shirts. The higher the quality of the tee, then the longer the print will last. And always remember to read the care label on your garment!
