Quick answer
Turn your Skrawberry Mane T-Shirt inside out, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, and air dry to keep the screen print looking like new.
Why the print needs special care
Screen-printed graphics are durable but not indestructible. Heat, friction, and harsh detergents can cause the design to crack, peel, or fade over time. The Skrawberry Mane T-Shirt uses a standard screen print that responds well to gentle handling.
The shirt itself is a classic cotton tee, so the fabric is easy to care for. The main concern is preserving the print, not the material.
Step-by-step care guide
- Turn the shirt inside out: This protects the printed surface from rubbing against other clothes and the machine drum. It also reduces friction on the graphic. Always turn inside out before washing.
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Hot water can soften the ink and cause it to crack. Cold water keeps the print intact. Use a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener, which can break down the ink over time. Skip the hot water and harsh chemicals.
- Air dry flat or hang dry: High heat from a dryer is the fastest way to crack or peel a screen print. Lay the shirt flat on a drying rack or hang it on a clothesline away from direct sunlight. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove the shirt while it's still slightly damp. Heat is the enemy of screen prints.
- Store folded, not hung: Hanging a printed tee can stretch the fabric and distort the design over time. Fold it neatly and keep it in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid stacking heavy items on top that could crease the print. Folding prevents stretching and creasing.
