How to avoid Apparel Products from Shrinking/ design fading?

Modified on Tue, 13 Aug at 2:17 AM

To prevent your shirt from shrinking or the design from fading, kindly follow these tips:


1. Wash in cold water: Hot water can cause T-shirts to shrink, so it's best to wash them in cold water. This can also help prevent fading.


2. Wash safely for washing machine: It's always recommended to wash print apparel products by hand to maintain the durability of the design. If using a washing machine, put your shirts in the laundry bag first. 


2Turn your shirt inside out before washing: Avoid printing design from damaging and fading.


3. Use a gentle detergent: Use a gentle detergent that is designed for delicate fabrics. 


4. Avoid the dryer: The heat from the dryer can cause T-shirts to shrink and fade. Instead, hang your T-shirt to dry, or tumble dry low.


5. Iron on low heat excluding the design area: If you need to iron your T-shirt, use a low heat setting and avoid ironing directly on the design area.


6. Store properly: To keep your T-shirt looking its best, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Fold it neatly and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it, as this can cause the fabric to stretch and lose its shape over time.
