The best way to iron your printed tees is, quelle surprise, not at all. Heat is an all-round enemy to your clothes, the Iron being one of the most dangerous weapons. So many things can go wrong here, from melting the print to burning the tee, it’s a dangerous ball game. If you absolutely must iron your printed garment (tinder date, family dinner, etc) then make sure you play it safe. We’d advise you to use the lowest setting and iron the garment turned inside out,  This maintains the structural integrity of the imprint. You can always try putting a piece of cloth between the iron and the tee as well for a bit of extra safety. Avoid applying moisture or steam to the print before putting the iron on it, disaster could follow. 

You really need to know how to wash screen printed T-shirts before you start taking care of them. If you’re really proactive in preserving your tee, soak it in a mixture of water and white vinegar pre-wash to keep those colours locked in place. 

Before going head-to-head with the big scary washing machine, make sure to turn your garments inside out. This is a two-second must-do trick that acts as an instant shield against the harshness of the machine and reduces chances of ink washout, fibrillation (broken print) and pilling (unwanted fuzzy balls). Keep the machine turned on a low heat for a short wash for best possible results.

High temperatures and screen prints aren’t exactly a match made in heaven. This means cold washing when possible and when it’s time to rescue your beloved tee from the machine,  dry outside in trusty nature (inside out) to play it safe.  Also, take extra care when ironing, keep a low heat and avoid direct iron on print contact at all costs – failure to do so will end in a print melting meltdown – be warned.
