General Apparel Care

For t-shirts, shirts, and other standard clothing items:

Washing Instructions

  • • Turn garments inside-out before washing to protect prints and colors
  • • Wash in cold water (30°C/86°F or below) with similar colors
  • • Use mild detergent - avoid bleach or harsh chemicals
  • • Machine wash on gentle/delicate cycle
  • • Wash dark colors separately for the first few washes
  • • Close all zippers and buttons to prevent snagging

Drying Instructions

  • • Air dry whenever possible - hang or lay flat
  • • Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading
  • • If using a dryer, use low heat setting
  • • Remove from dryer while slightly damp to prevent shrinkage
  • • Never wring or twist wet garments

Ironing Instructions

  • • Iron inside-out to protect prints and graphics
  • • Use low to medium heat setting
  • • Never iron directly on printed areas
  • • Use a pressing cloth if needed
  • • Steam is usually safe for most fabrics

Pro Tip: For the first wash, add a cup of white vinegar to help set the colors and prevent bleeding. This is especially important for vibrant or dark-colored items.

Printed & Graphic Items

Items with prints, graphics, or embroidery require special attention to maintain their quality:

Essential Print Care Rules

Always wash inside-out - This is the most important step for print longevity
Cold water only - Hot water can cause prints to crack or peel
Gentle cycle - Reduces friction that can damage prints
Air dry preferred - Heat from dryers can deteriorate print quality
Never iron prints directly - Always iron from the inside or use a cloth barrier

Print Types & Special Care

Screen Printed Graphics

Durable and long-lasting. Wash inside-out in cold water. Avoid fabric softeners as they can break down the ink over time.

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Prints

Soft and detailed prints. Extra gentle care needed. Wash inside-out on delicate cycle, air dry only, and avoid direct heat.

Embroidered Items

Very durable. Can be washed normally, but turn inside-out to protect threads. Avoid excessive heat when drying or ironing.

Vinyl/Heat Transfer Prints

Requires gentle care. Always wash inside-out in cold water. Air dry or tumble dry on lowest setting. Never iron directly on the print.

Hoodies & Sweatshirts

Heavier garments like hoodies and sweatshirts need special attention:

Before Washing

  • • Turn inside-out
  • • Zip up all zippers
  • • Tie drawstrings to prevent tangling
  • • Empty all pockets

Washing

  • • Cold water on gentle cycle
  • • Use mild detergent
  • • Wash with similar colors
  • • Don't overload the machine

Drying

  • • Air dry by hanging or laying flat
  • • Reshape while damp
  • • If using dryer: low heat, remove promptly
  • • Avoid over-drying to prevent shrinkage

Maintenance

  • • Remove pilling with fabric shaver
  • • Store folded or hanging
  • • Steam to remove wrinkles
  • • Spot clean small stains when possible

Important: Hoodies with prints or graphics should NEVER be dried on high heat. The combination of heavy fabric and heat can cause prints to crack or peel prematurely.

Accessories Care

Caps & Hats

Hand wash or spot clean only. Use mild soap and cold water. Air dry on a towel or form to maintain shape. Never put caps in washing machine or dryer.

Bags & Backpacks

Spot clean with damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Air dry completely before use. Empty all pockets before cleaning.

Stickers & Decals

Clean surface before applying. Press firmly and smooth out bubbles. Once applied, wipe gently with damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.

Phone Cases & Tech Accessories

Wipe with soft, slightly damp cloth. Use isopropyl alcohol for stubborn stains. Avoid excessive moisture near ports and openings. Air dry completely.

Pins & Badges

Wipe with soft cloth. Avoid water for enamel pins. Handle by edges to prevent fingerprints. Store in cool, dry place when not in use.

Special Materials Guide

100% Cotton

Breathable and comfortable. May shrink slightly on first wash. Wash in cold water and reshape while damp. Can handle regular ironing.

Cotton Blends

Durable with less shrinkage. Wash in cold water. Resists wrinkles better than 100% cotton. Dry on low heat or air dry.

Polyester

Low maintenance and quick-drying. Wash in warm water. Can tumble dry on low. Avoid high heat as it can melt fibers or set stains.

Fleece

Soft and warm. Wash inside-out in cold water. Air dry or tumble dry on low. Use fabric softener sparingly to maintain softness.

Tri-Blend

Ultra-soft vintage feel. Delicate - wash in cold water on gentle cycle. Air dry recommended. Handle with extra care to maintain texture.

Performance/Athletic

Moisture-wicking materials. Wash in cold water after each use. Avoid fabric softeners - they clog moisture-wicking properties. Air dry.

Storage & Maintenance Tips

Proper Storage Techniques:

Hanging vs. Folding

Hang: Button-up shirts, jackets, hoodies
Fold: T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters (to prevent stretching)

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Store in cool, dark place to prevent fading. UV rays can damage colors and prints over time.

Keep Dry

Ensure items are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odors. Use moisture absorbers in humid climates.

Keep It Fresh

Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to keep clothes fresh and protect from moths. Avoid mothballs with printed items.

Seasonal Storage

When storing seasonal items (like winter hoodies), wash first, then store in breathable garment bags or containers. Avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture. Add silica gel packets to prevent humidity damage.

Do's & Don'ts

Always DO This

  • Read and follow care labels
  • Turn printed items inside-out before washing
  • Use cold water for most items
  • Separate colors, especially for first washes
  • Air dry when possible
  • Treat stains promptly
  • Store properly in cool, dry place
  • Use gentle/delicate cycle for printed items
  • Remove items from washer/dryer promptly

Never DO This

  • Use bleach on colored or printed items

  • Overload washing machine
  • Wring or twist wet garments
  • Store in damp or humid areas

Quick Stain Removal Guide

Golden Rule: Treat stains as soon as possible! The longer a stain sets, the harder it is to remove.

Food & Beverage Stains

Rinse with cold water immediately. Apply mild detergent or stain remover. Gently blot (don't rub). Wash as normal.

Oil & Grease Stains

Apply dish soap or chalk to absorb oil. Let sit for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with hot water. Wash in hottest water safe for fabric.

Ink Stains

Apply rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer to stain. Blot with clean cloth. Repeat until stain lifts. Rinse and wash normally.

Sweat & Deodorant Marks

Mix baking soda with water to form paste. Apply to stain, let sit 30 minutes. Wash in cold water with vinegar added to rinse.

Warning: Never put stained items in the dryer before the stain is completely removed. Heat will set the stain permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my item shrink?

Some shrinkage (typically 3-5%) is normal, especially with 100% cotton items. Wash in cold water and air dry to minimize shrinkage. Follow care instructions carefully.

How can I prevent fading?

Wash inside-out in cold water, use color-safe detergent, avoid direct sunlight when drying, and limit exposure to harsh chemicals. Adding vinegar to the first wash helps set colors.

Can I use fabric softener?

Use sparingly or avoid entirely on printed items and performance fabrics. Fabric softener can break down prints over time and reduce moisture-wicking properties.

How do I remove pilling?

Use a fabric shaver or sweater stone gently on affected areas. Prevent pilling by washing inside-out, using gentle cycle, and avoiding excessive friction.

What if care instructions conflict?

Always follow the care label on your specific item - it supersedes general guidance. When in doubt, choose the most gentle option (cold water, air dry, low heat).
