T-Shirt Care Instructions

To ensure your Bella Canvas T-shirts stay looking their best and last as long as possible, it’s important to follow proper care instructions. Here’s a detailed guide to help you maintain the quality and comfort of your Bella Canvas apparel.

Washing

1. Sort Your Laundry: Separate your T-shirts by color and fabric type. Wash whites with whites and colors with colors to avoid color transfer.
2. Use Cold Water: Wash your T-shirts in cold water to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric’s integrity. Cold water is also more energy-efficient and better for the environment.
3. Gentle Detergent: Use a mild detergent that’s gentle on fabrics. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can break down the fibers and affect the shirt’s softness and color.
4. Turn Inside Out: Before washing, turn your T-shirts inside out. This protects the outer side from the friction of the washing process, helping the color stay vibrant and reducing the likelihood of pilling.

Drying

1. Air Dry When Possible: The best way to dry your Bella Canvas T-shirts is to air dry them. Lay them flat on a clean surface or hang them on a drying rack. Avoid direct sunlight which can cause colors to fade.
2. Use Low Heat If Machine Drying: If you need to use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting. High temperatures can cause shrinking and faster deterioration of the fabric.
3. Remove Promptly: Whether air drying or machine drying, remove your T-shirts as soon as they are dry to prevent wrinkles.

Ironing

1. Low Heat: If you need to iron your Bella Canvas T-shirt, use a low heat setting. High heat can scorch the fabric, especially if it’s a cotton blend.
2. Iron Inside Out: To protect the outer surface, iron your T-shirts inside out. This is especially important for printed T-shirts to avoid damaging the print.

Storing

1. Fold Gently: Folding your T-shirts gently can help maintain their shape. Avoid hanging them as the weight can stretch the fabric, especially around the shoulders.
2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep your T-shirts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time.

By following these care instructions, your Bella Canvas T-shirts will maintain their look and feel, proving to be a lasting addition to your wardrobe. Remember, taking a little extra care with your garments not only makes them look great but also contributes to sustainable clothing practices by extending the life of each item.
