Good basics deserve good care. By maintaining your T-shirts and tank tops properly, you can extend their lifespan and keep them looking brand-new. Here are some simple yet effective tips:
- Wash with Care
- Use cold water to preserve fabric quality and prevent shrinkage.
- Avoid heavy detergents and stick to mild, gentle options.
- Turn Inside Out
- Washing inside out protects prints and colors from fading.
- Reduces friction on the outer fabric.
- Avoid Harsh Drying
- Air dry in the shade instead of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Iron with Caution
- Use low to medium heat when ironing cotton.
- Avoid direct contact with prints or logos – use a thin cloth as a barrier.
- Store Properly
- Fold neatly instead of hanging heavy cotton tees to prevent stretching.
- Keep in a cool, dry space to avoid fabric damage.
Taking just a little extra care ensures your favorite pieces stay stylish and comfortable for years.
