Why Washing Cold Actually Matters
Hot water breaks down:
- cotton fibers
- elastane content
- silicone prints
- fabric softness
Cold water does all the cleaning without the damage.
Turn It Inside Out
This protects:
- the drape of your cotton
- the microfiber surface
- any logos or prints
- color consistency over time
It takes two seconds and makes a huge difference.
Use Low Spin
High spin cycles twist and stress fabric unnecessarily.
Low spin:
- reduces stretching
- maintains shape
- preserves shoulder seams
- keeps the tee from "twisting" over time
240 GSM cotton especially benefits from low agitation.
Air Dry Everything
Tumble drying is the #1 reason tees lose shape.
Air drying:
- preserves drape
- protects prints
- prevents shrinkage
- keeps fabric soft
Lay flat or hang - both work.
