Care guide
Care instructions that keep screen printed tees and hoodies looking good.
Screen printed ink is tough. Follow these care instructions, and your prints will look good for years.
Care instructions for tees and hoodies
- Turn the garment inside out before washing.
- Wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Tumble dry low or hang dry.
- Do not iron directly over the print.
- Skip bleach and dry cleaning.
Water-based prints
Water-based ink is part of the fabric, so it softens and fades a little with each wash, the way a favorite tee does. That gentle wear is part of its look.
Plastisol prints
Plastisol sits on top of the fabric and stays bright. Still, washing inside out and avoiding high heat keeps the print from cracking over time.
Your garment’s own care label follows the FTC care labeling rule, so read it alongside these care instructions. For the full routine, see how to wash screen printed shirts. Something look wrong after the first wash? Tell us.
