Here are some effective tips to help you maintain the color and print quality of your printed t-shirts for a long time: 

1. Pay Attention to the First Wash

  • Before wearing your new printed t-shirt, turn it inside out and wash it in cold water. 
  • Use a mild detergent to help set the print. 

2. Keep the Washing Temperature Low

  • Always wash your t-shirts in cold water or a maximum of 30°C (86°F)
  • Hot water can cause the print to crack and fade. 

3. Turn Your T-Shirts Inside Out Before Washing

  • This prevents direct friction on the printed surface, reducing wear and tear. 

4. Use a Gentle Wash Cycle

  • If possible, choose the delicate or hand wash mode on your washing machine. 
  • High-speed spinning can damage the print. 

5. Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals

  • Bleach and strong detergents can ruin the print and fabric. 
  • Always use mild detergents suitable for colored clothing

6. Do Not Use a Tumble Dryer

  • High heat from a dryer can cause the print to crack and fade. 
  • The best method is to air dry your t-shirts in the shade

7. Be Careful When Ironing

  • Never iron directly on the printed area! 
  • If needed, turn the t-shirt inside out or place a thin cloth over the print before ironing at low heat. 

8. Store Your T-Shirts Properly

  • Instead of hanging them, fold your t-shirts to prevent the print from stretching. 
  • Keep them away from direct sunlight to avoid color fading. 

By following these simple yet effective tips, you can keep your printed t-shirts looking fresh and vibrant for a long time! 😊👕
