T-Shirt Care Guide: How to Keep Your Prints Looking New

You've treated yourself to a cool printed t-shirt and want it to look great for as long as possible? With the right care, your Gildan 64000 Softstyle will stay vibrant and comfortable for a long time – whether it's your Garlic Gamer or a design from our Kawaii Animals Collection. Here are our 5 best tips:

1. Always Wash Inside Out

The most important rule for printed t-shirts: turn them inside out before washing! This protects the print from friction with other clothes and the drum.

2. Max. 30°C, Gentle Cycle

Hot water is the enemy of every print. Wash your t-shirts at maximum 30°C on a gentle cycle. This protects both the print and the cotton fibers.

3. Don't Iron Over the Print

If you want to iron your t-shirt, do it on the reverse side or place a cloth over the print. Direct heat on the print can damage it.

4. Skip the Bleach

Bleach and printed t-shirts are not friends. Use gentle detergent and skip fabric softener – it can attack the print over time.

5. Tumble Dry on Low

If you use a dryer, choose a low temperature. Better yet: air dry your t-shirts – that's the gentlest method for the print and the fabric.

Bonus: Proper Storage

Store your t-shirts flat or on hangers. Avoid tight folding directly on the print – over time, this can lead to cracking. This is especially important for detailed designs like our Garlic Detective or Garlic Artist.
