Graphic tees and trendy sweatshirts have made a major comeback in recent years. It's no wonder either. They boast comfort, ease, and the ability to show your personality through a uniquely designed graphic. Today we are here to talk about how to take care of your graphic tees so they last long term.

Most of us know the old pain of heat applied screen-printed graphics that would crack the first time you wash them. Thankfully those days are over! New methods like direct-to-garment printing, where specialized ink is printed directly to the garment, have allowed for great print quality and extended durability and washability. 

Here are a few tips get the maximum life out of your Graphic Tees and Sweatshirts from The Fringe Co:

•  Always check the care instructions on the label before washing your graphic tees. Some may require hand washing or gentle machine washing, while others can be washed with regular laundry.
• Wash your graphic tees inside out to protect the print from fading. This will also prevent any lint or other particles from sticking to the print.
• Use a gentle detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach that can damage the fabric or the print. Opt for a detergent specifically formulated for colored garments like Oxi-Clean Color Boost
• Avoid using high heat when drying your graphic tees. Instead, air dry your tees or use a low heat setting in the dryer.
• Iron your graphic tees inside out or use a pressing cloth to protect the print. Avoid ironing directly on the print, as it can distort the design.

By following these simple care instructions, you can ensure that your graphic tees stay in great condition and continue to make a statement. Check out the Fringe Co for cute sweatshirts and graphic tees.
