A T-Shirt going for the long run.

T-shirts are as easy to wash as they are to wear. That said you do need to know what you're doing because they’re in direct contact with your skin and you tend to wash them more often than a sweater for example.

Wash your tee inside out with other similar colours at a maximum temperature of 30°C. That way, they won’t shrink and if the washing machine's drum causes any damage or colours bleed, it won’t be visible. Never wring it out by hand. Rather machine-spin the tee to get rid of excess water limiting the program to 800/900 rpm max to not damage the cotton fibres.

We recommend liquid detergents because the powdered ones usually leave marks on dark colours.

Then just dry it al fresco if possible, laid flat and preferably in the shade.

With knitted garments, drying flat is the best way to avoid warping.

Once it's dry, iron on a low heat (110°C, that’s the cotton setting) avoiding the seams so as not to scorch the cotton.
