Totally get your frustration! Cracked prints can be such a bummer, especially on your favorite shirts. Here are some tips to help keep those prints looking fresh:
1. **Wash Inside Out**: Always turn your shirts inside out before washing. It protects the print from rubbing against other clothes.
2. **Cold Water**: Use cold water for washing. Hot water can weaken the print and cause it to crack.
3. **Gentle Cycle**: If you can, use a gentle cycle. It’s less harsh on the fabric and print.
4. **Avoid Fabric Softeners**: They can break down the print over time, so skip them if you can.
5. **Air Dry**: Instead of tossing them in the dryer, hang them up to air dry. If you must use a dryer, use a low heat setting.
6. **Iron Carefully**: If you need to iron, do it inside out and use a low heat setting. Better yet, place a cloth over the print to protect it.
Following these tips should help keep your prints looking good for longer! Happy wearing! |
