Bought your favorite T-shirt from Finolyn? Great! Now let’s make sure it stays fresh, vibrant, and stylish for a long time.
Proper T-shirt care not only extends the life of your clothes but also keeps the fabric comfortable and colors sharp — just like new. Here’s your complete guide to keeping your Finolyn tees in top condition.
1.Wash Less, Wear More
Unless your T-shirt is stained or sweaty, avoid washing it after every wear. Overwashing can cause fading, shrinkage, and fabric wear. Spot clean when needed and air out your T-shirts after wearing.
2. Cold Wash is Gold
Always wash your T-shirts in cold water. Hot water can damage prints, stretch the fabric, and cause color fading. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
3. Turn Inside Out Before Washing
Flipping your T-shirt inside out before washing protects the print and outer surface from friction during the wash cycle. This simple step helps prevent cracking or fading of designs.
4. Avoid the Dryer – Air Dry Instead
Heat from tumble dryers can shrink your T-shirt and damage prints. Instead, air dry your clothes by hanging them in a shaded area (away from direct sunlight) to maintain shape and color.
5. Iron with Care
If your T-shirt needs ironing, do it inside out and never iron directly on prints or embroidery. Use a low-heat setting and preferably place a cotton cloth between the iron and fabric.
6. Store It Right
Fold your T-shirts neatly and keep them in a cool, dry place. Hanging them can stretch out the neckline over time. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to maintain their shape.
7. Be Gentle With Prints
Avoid rubbing or scrubbing printed areas while washing. Also, skip rough brushes or harsh detergents. If possible, hand-wash printed T-shirts gently for longer-lasting results.
8. Use a Laundry Bag
If you’re machine washing multiple items together, consider putting your T-shirt in a mesh laundry bag. It reduces wear from rubbing against jeans, zippers, or buttons during the wash.
Bonus Tip: Wash Similar Colors Together
Always separate dark, light, and white T-shirts before washing. This helps prevent unwanted color bleeding and keeps your whites looking crisp and bright.
Final Thought
Every Finolyn T-shirt is designed to be comfortable, stylish, and long-lasting — but how long it lasts also depends on how you care for it. Follow these tips and keep your T-shirts looking as good as new, wear after wear.
