Before you wash your cotton t-shirts, sort them by color. This will help prevent color bleeding and discoloration. You should also separate your t-shirts from clothes that have zippers, buttons, or other metal hardware that can damage the fabric.

Cotton t-shirts should be washed in cold or warm water, be careful hot water can cause shrinkage and fading our first choice would be cold water. If your t-shirts are heavily soiled, you can pre-treat them with a stain remover before washing.

Choose a mild detergent that is gentle on cotton fabrics. Harsh detergents can damage the fibers and cause discoloration. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, choose a detergent that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. Invest in better quality detergent. It will cost you a dollar more but save you in the long run.

Bleach and fabric softener should be avoided when washing cotton t-shirts. We just told you to avoid using harsh detergent.  Bleach can damage the fibers and cause discoloration, not sure what you were thinking.   Fabric softener can leave a residue that makes the fabric feel stiff. You know that t-shirt that you like and dried slowly and never felt the same after. You can use a natural fabric softener like white vinegar, which can help remove odors and soften the fabric.

To prevent fading and preserve the graphic design or print, turn your t-shirts inside out before washing. This will also help protect the fabric from rubbing against other clothes in the washing machine.

We are all guilty of overloading thinking we would save time. At the end of the day it can damage fabric and create tons of wrinkles and is not very efficient. Leave enough room for the water and detergent to circulate around your t-shirts.

Air drying is the best way to preserve the quality of cotton t-shirts. Hang your t-shirts on a clothesline or drying rack and let them dry naturally. Avoid drying your t-shirts in direct sunlight or high heat, as this can cause fading and shrinkage.

If you need to use a dryer, choose a low or medium heat setting and remove your t-shirts from the dryer as soon as they're dry. Our recommendation is to air dry all the time to minimize chances of shrinkage.

Iron yes you heard right. If you want crispy looking cotton t-shirts take time to iron them on a low to medium heat setting, and use a pressing cloth if necessary to prevent scorching. Avoid using high heat or steam, as this can damage the fabric. If your t-shirt has a graphic design or print, iron it inside out to protect the design.

Fold your t-shirts neatly and store them in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging your t-shirts can cause stretching and distortion.

Store your t-shirts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Exposure to sunlight and humidity can cause fading and mildew.

Rotate your t-shirts regularly to prevent wear and tear on specific areas. This will also help maintain their shape and fit.
