Quick answer
Wash your Tentsile hoodie and t-shirt inside out in cold water, then tumble dry on low or hang dry to preserve the print and fabric.
Why care matters for branded apparel
Screen-printed logos and designs are sensitive to heat and friction. Washing and drying the wrong way can cause cracking, peeling, or fading. The 100% cotton Tentsile T-Shirt and the soft polyester-cotton blend hoodie both benefit from a gentle routine that protects the print while keeping the fabric comfortable.
Step-by-step care routine
- 1. Turn inside out: Before washing, turn your Tentsile hoodie or t-shirt inside out. This protects the printed design from rubbing against other clothes and the machine drum. Always zip zippers and fasten buttons on other garments to prevent snags.
- 2. Wash cold, gentle cycle: Use cold water (60°F / 15°C or lower) and a gentle or delicate cycle. Cold water prevents shrinkage and helps the cotton T-Shirt maintain its structured fit. For the hoodie, it keeps the fleece lining soft. Skip bleach and fabric softener—they break down cotton fibers and can dull prints over time.
- 3. Air dry or tumble low: Hang dry both items flat or on a line to completely avoid heat damage. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove garments while still slightly damp to reduce shrinkage and preserve the print. High heat is the #1 cause of print cracking. If you see peeling, you dried it too hot.
