Wear it often.
Keep it looking sharp.

Your Code Crushes tee was made to be worn, not babied. A few simple habits will help protect the fabric and print so it keeps looking good through workdays, weekends, and plenty of trips through the laundry.

Wash cold

Gentler on the fabric, color, and print.

Turn it inside out

Less friction directly against the printed artwork.

Air dry when possible

Less heat means a longer life for the print.

01 / THE EVERYDAY WASH

The easiest care routine is usually the best one.

For regular washing, turn your shirt inside out and use cold water with a mild detergent.

01 Turn it inside out

This reduces direct friction against the printed surface during the wash cycle.

02 Use cold water

Cold water is easier on both the garment and the printed artwork.

03 Choose a gentle cycle

Your tee doesn't need an aggressive workout every time it gets washed.

04 Use mild detergent

Skip harsh chemicals and let a normal detergent do the work.

02 / HAND WASHING

Gentle hands. Cold water. Done.

Prefer washing by hand? Use cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Work through the fabric gently without aggressive rubbing, stretching, or wringing.

If there's a spot or stain, treat the affected area carefully rather than scrubbing directly across the print.

Keep the artwork out of the fight.

Avoid hard scrubbing directly over the printed design whenever you're treating a stain.

03 / DRYING

Heat is the part your print likes least.

Air drying is the safest option for keeping your tee and artwork looking their best over time. Lay the shirt flat or hang it to dry away from strong direct sunlight.

If you use a tumble dryer, choose the lowest practical heat setting.

Why avoid high heat?

Repeated high temperatures can put unnecessary stress on printed graphics and the fabric underneath them.

04 / IRONING & PRESSING

Iron the shirt. Not the artwork.

If your tee needs ironing, turn it inside out and use low heat. Never place a hot iron directly on top of the printed design.

If you need to work near the print, use a protective cloth between the garment and the iron.

05 / THE QUICK VERSION

Four habits worth remembering.

Do this

Wash inside out
Use cold water
Choose a gentle cycle

06 / DRY CLEANING

You probably don't need it.

For normal care, washing at home is all your Code Crushes tee needs. Dry cleaning generally isn't necessary.

If you choose to have the garment professionally cleaned, bring the care label with you so the cleaner can follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific garment.
