Care Guide
Your shirts work as hard as you do. Here’s how to keep them looking fresh through every wash cycle, coffee spill, and kid-hug ambush.
Washing
- Turn inside out before washing. This protects the print from friction with other clothes.
- Cold water only. Hot water breaks down the ink faster and can shrink the fabric.
- Gentle or normal cycle — either works. Skip the heavy-duty setting.
- Like colors together. Your “I Survived Standardized Testing” tee doesn’t need to meet your red towels.
- Skip the bleach. If you need stain help, a small amount of OxiClean on the spot works.
Drying
- Tumble dry low is your safest bet. High heat is the number-one print killer.
- Hang dry for longest life. If you have the patience (we know — it’s limited), air drying keeps both the fabric and the print in peak condition.
- Remove promptly. Sitting in a damp ball at the bottom of the dryer = wrinkles and sadness.
Ironing & Steaming
- Never iron directly on the print. If you must iron, flip the shirt inside out and use low heat. A pressing cloth works too.
- Steaming is fine — just avoid holding the steamer on the print for too long.
Storage
- Fold, don’t hang for long-term storage. Hangers can stretch out the neck and shoulders over time.
- Keep out of direct sunlight. UV fades prints faster than a toddler loses interest in a new toy.
The Short Version
Inside out. Cold water. Low heat. No bleach. Don’t iron the print. That’s it. You’ve got enough to remember already.
