T-shirts for a long time and firmly "settled" in the wardrobe of a modern person because of their practicality and a variety of styles, colors, designs, etc. In order for your favorite things to please the eye longer, you need to properly care for them. Unsuccessful washing will lead to the fact that an expensive (or not so) T-shirt will turn into a rag for mopping the floor.
Fabric Type Definition
To select the correct washing and drying regime, you need to pay attention to the fabric. Such information can be found on the label, where the manufacturer must indicate the type and requirements for care. Natural fabrics suggest any type of washing (by hand or in a washing machine), but here it is necessary to take into account the presence of dyes. Often, manufacturers use several colors at once. In this case, care must be taken to remove contamination, giving preference to the minimum temperature of the water. Otherwise, one shade may switch to another. It is recommended that new colored things be pre-soaked in salt water, which allows you to fix the dye.
Knitted, woolen and lycra t-shirts "do not like" hot water, after such a procedure the thing will lose both its shape and color. Such products can not be strongly wrung out and twisted. It is better to do it manually so as not to spoil your favorite wardrobe items.
Print T-Shirts
Such things must be turned inside out before washing in order to reduce the friction of the pattern with the fabric. As a detergent, give preference to a universal powder without the addition of bleaches (especially chlorine).
If the t-shirt has embroidery, it is best to wash it with your hands in warm water. If run in a typewriter, an embroidered item can easily fade. The same rules are recommended when washing T-shirts with photo printing.
In no case should you rub or unscrew areas with a printed pattern, embroidery or other print. For drying, the t-shirt must be spread out and hung upside down, excluding the clip with clothespins of the picture itself.
