To properly maintain a cotton t-shirt and extend its lifespan, here are some practical tips:
1. Lavage
Wash in cold water: Wash in cold or lukewarm water (30°C maximum) to avoid shrinkage and fading. Hot water can damage cotton fibers.
Gentle cycle: Use a gentle wash cycle to preserve the cotton fibers, especially if the t-shirt is thin or printed.
Wash inside out: Turn the t-shirt inside out before putting it in the machine to protect printed designs or embroidery.
Separate colors: Wash white clothes separately from colored clothes to avoid color transfer.
2. Drying
Avoid tumble drying: Tumble drying can shrink cotton and wear out the fibers prematurely. It is best to let the t-shirt air dry.
Dry Flat: If possible, dry the t-shirt flat to prevent it from becoming distorted. Hanging the wet t-shirt by the shoulders could stretch it.
3. Ironing
Low temperature ironing: Cotton can be ironed at medium temperature. If your t-shirt has prints, iron it inside out to avoid damaging them.
Light Steam: Use steam or a slightly damp iron to avoid burning or damaging the fibers.
4. Storage
Fold rather than hang: Fold your cotton t-shirts to prevent them from stretching on hangers, especially at the shoulders.
Store out of direct sunlight: Keep cotton clothing out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
5. Other Tips
Avoid harsh products: Do not use products containing chlorine or bleaching agents, as they can weaken the fabric.
Use a mild detergent: A detergent without harsh chemicals is ideal for natural fibers like cotton.
These simple practices help preserve the quality, colors and shape of your cotton t-shirt for longer.
