Quick Answer
To keep your Rizos Curls t-shirt soft, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, air dry it flat, and skip the dryer and fabric softener. This preserves the cotton fibers and the printed logo.
Why cotton tees get stiff
Cotton is a natural fiber that can feel rough or stiff when exposed to high heat or harsh detergents. The relaxed fit and slim fit Rizos Curls tees are made to feel comfortable, so caring for them the right way keeps that softness.
The printed logo is also part of the design. Heat and friction from a dryer or iron can crack or fade it, so gentle handling protects both the fabric and the graphic.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Turn the tee inside out: Before washing, turn your Rizos Curls tee inside out. This protects the printed logo from rubbing against other clothes and reduces fading. Check the care label first for any specific instructions.
- Wash in cold water on gentle: Use cold water and a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Hot water can shrink cotton and set stains, while harsh detergents strip natural oils that keep fabric soft. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners—they can damage fibers and the print.
- Air dry flat: Lay the tee flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Skip the dryer because high heat shrinks cotton and can make it stiff. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat and remove while slightly damp. Hanging a wet tee can stretch it, especially the slim fit style.
- Iron on low, inside out: If wrinkles appear, iron the tee inside out on a low setting. Avoid direct contact with the logo, as heat can crack the print. Steam is a safer alternative to remove wrinkles without touching the fabric.
- Fold and store properly: Fold the tee and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging can stretch the shoulders over time, especially for relaxed fit styles. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
