A solid t-shirt is the hardest-working piece in your closet — from layering under blazers to lounging on slow Sundays. With a little mindful care, your tee will stay soft, hold its shape, and keep that “first-wear” feeling for seasons to come.
1. Wash Cold, Love Long
Hot water breaks down fibers and fades color faster. Always wash your tees in cold water using a mild detergent. This preserves the softness of Airlume combed & ring-spun cotton and protects the dye from dulling.
2. Skip the Dryer (Your Tee Will Thank You)
High heat is the enemy of shape and stretch. Instead, lay flat or hang dry your t-shirts. The fibers relax naturally, preventing neckline sag and hem warping.
3. Steam, Don’t Iron
A quick steam refreshes your tee without flattening the fabric. Hang it in the bathroom while you shower — the easiest wrinkle fix ever.
4. Treat Stains ASAP
Dab, don’t rub. Use a gentle stain remover or diluted white vinegar. Especially for white, butter yellow, or lavender tones, spot-cleaning early keeps color bright and even.
5. Store With Intention
Fold along the seams to prevent stretching and keep colors separate. Stack by shade — neutrals, pastels, deep tones — so your capsule palette stays organized and inspiring.
Why Care Matters
When you invest in high-quality, eco-dyed tees, proper care extends their life and reduces waste. Sustainability starts in your laundry routine.
