Once you get into the habit of caring for your tees this way, it stops being a special routine. You'll automatically check stains before tossing in the hamper. You'll reach for the low-heat setting without thinking. You'll fold instead of hang. It becomes second nature—and your tees will last longer, look better, and stay softer.

And when you're wearing a tee that still looks crisp after months of wear, you'll be glad you took the extra two minutes.
