• Graphic cracking on ring-spun cotton tees is usually caused by heat, harsh detergents, or over-drying. Washing inside out in cold water and air-drying can extend the life of the print significantly. Once cracks start letting moisture reach the fabric, the print will continue to degrade, so it's best to retire the tee or turn it into a keepsake.
• Wash inside out in cold water to protect the print.
• Never use fabric softener or bleach on graphic tees.
• Air-dry flat or hang dry instead of using the dryer.
• Retire the tee when cracks expose the fabric underneath.
