• Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hot water can shrink the cotton and fade the color.
• Use a mild detergent—skip the bleach and fabric softeners. They can break down the fibers over time.
• Air dry flat. Lay the tee on a clean towel or drying rack. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the shoulders and collar.
• Store folded in a cool, dry place. If you must hang, use padded hangers and fold the tee over the bar, not on the hanger's shoulders.
• Refresh with steam if needed. A quick steam can smooth out wrinkles without the heat of an iron.
