How to Care for Your Screen-Printed T-Shirt

To keep your Junk Drawer tee looking bold and crack-free, follow these washing instructions:

hand-washing (T-SHIRTS)

Turn the shirt inside out – This protects the design while washing.
Fill a basin with cold water – Hot water can weaken and crack the print.
Use a mild detergent – Harsh soaps, bleach, or fabric softeners can damage the print.
Gently swirl the shirt in the water – Avoid scrubbing or wringing, as this can cause cracking.
Let it soak for 10-15 minutes – This helps break down dirt without harsh agitation.
Rinse with cold water – Make sure all soap is removed.

Machine Washing (hoodie)

Turn the hoodie inside out – This protects the design from friction and direct contact with other clothes.
Use cold water – Hot water can weaken the print and cause cracks.
Select a gentle or delicate cycle – Agitation from regular wash cycles can cause the design to break down.
Use a mild detergent – Harsh chemicals, bleach, and fabric softeners can cause fading and cracking.

Drying

Lay flat to dry on a clean towel – Hanging when wet can stretch the fabric.
Avoid direct sunlight – This prevents fading and cracking.
If needed, press gently with a towel – Don’t wring out the water, as twisting can damage the print.

Ironing and Storage

If ironing, turn the shirt inside out and use low heat – Never iron directly on the print.
Store folded or on a hanger – Avoid creasing over the design.
Keep in a cool, dry place – Heat and humidity can weaken the print over time.

Treat your shirt like a piece of art—gentle care means longer wear!
