Whether you just wanted a piece of custom apparel or needed team shirts for an event, printed T-shirts are fantastic ways to make a statement in style. When it comes to caring for them, though, it’s more complicated than throwing them in the washer and dryer. Mustang Graphics in Seward, NE, is an expert when it comes to printed tees, and these are their do’s and don’ts for taking care of them.
Before you throw those tasteful T-shirts in the washer, turn them inside out. This protects the printed image from fading and damage.
Hot water can loosen the design and cause it to fade or warp, even in as little as one wash. Using cold water helps the fabric hold the design.
Harsh, overly-powerful detergents – especially those with bleach in them – can fade or destroy the image on your T-shirts. Gentle detergents that aren’t extra-strength should do just fine.
After washing your shirts in cold water, it’s recommended that you hang them up to dry instead of putting them through the stress of a dryer. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest temperature and gentlest cycle that it allows.
Ironing your printed shirts can result in a mess or a faded design. If your shirt wrinkles, try using a wrinkle-release spray (sparingly).
Bleach will have the same effect on your design that it will on colored clothing. The colors and images of your shirt will be permanently damaged, with no way to reverse or repair it.
Taking care of your printed shirts the right way will ensure the design stays bright and clear for longer.
