T-shirts are 100% cotton so it’s necessary to take care of them in order to keep the quality of the cotton fiber and the print.
We take care of the printing quality of all the t-shirts that come out of our workshop to the smallest detail, but for the printing to be as durable as possible it is important to know how to wash your garments.
Here are our washing tips:
1. Sort t-shirts by fabrics and by colors: it is important to separate the dark colors from the light ones.
2. Wash the T-shirts inside out, so that the print does not rub against the washing machine drum.
3. Wash in cold water: no more than 30ºC.
4. Do not use bleach or abrasive soaps and if you can avoid using fabric softeners.
5. Do not dry clean.
When it comes to drying and ironing it is also important to keep a few things in mind for the durability of the garment:
• Do not tumble dry and always hang the shirts upside down.
• Do not wring the shirts or dry them on the radiator.
• Always iron inside out at a maximum of 110ºC and avoid using steam. Do not iron the printed area.
• Hanging out your clothes as soon as you finish the washing machine will facilitate ironing.
Both screen printing and digital printing are high quality printing techniques, and with due care, your garments will last for years and years.
