How do You Clean Those T-Shirts With Pictures On Them Without Them Later cracking and color fade?

Answer 1

The absolute best way to clean/wash these T shirts is to launder them inside out in a mild detergent in the gentle cycle of your washing machine AND use cold water. Also, I would never dry the T shirt in a clothes dryer as the heat could do only harm to the "picture" on the T shirt. What I would do is after removing the T shirt from the washer after washing like I recommended above, take the T shirt and shake it out holding the shoulders and shake until as many wrinkles as you can shake out are removed. Then I would hang the T shirt somewhere maybe where it can get a breeze (outside) to further remove wrinkles....I don't think the sunlight is going to hurt it too much but the main thing to get the remaining wrinkles out is to let it blow a bit in the breeze outside OR you can simply let it dry hanging on the hanger inside. This is your best bet for laundering these shirts to prolong their decoration. I hope this helps!!

Answer 2

This type of T-shirt must be washed by hand , and always wash inside out, and on a low Temp. The heat causes the cracking of the plastic, also when you wash dark colored clothes best have them washed inside out ,like this the sun won´t bleach the color out

Answer 3

Turn them inside out before washing and wash in cold water. Warm or hot water loosens the adhesive and thats why it cracks so easily.

Answer 4

no its not the fabric softner----you need tol use one of the detergents that have the "helps prevent color fading" and always use cold water----and do not put them in the dryer-hang dry and then press with a cool iron if needed. Heat fades color even the heat from a dryer-alot of people dont realize this or believe it...good luck

I wash mine all the time, and have never had a problem, Its the drying that you have to watch, the heat is usually to hot for the plastic. So when you wash them, put them in the dryer for about 10 Min's. and then hang them on hangers to dry..
