How To Look After Your Favourite T-Shirts
T-shirts are a staple part of our wardrobes; they go with anything, they give us an extra layer of insulation and provide a fashion statement even on a hot day. For this reason many of us have a whole range of t-shirts that we have picked up over the years and even have some that we are emotionally attached to. This might be because they were given to us by a loved one, might remind us of a concert or night out or may even just have been with us for a very long time.
When it comes to these special t-shirts that you never want to lose, you may want to take some precautions to ensure their survival. Here are some suggestions:
Storage
When it comes to keeping your prized t-shirts safe, you need to start with how you store them. You may like to keep your clothes in your floor wardrobe but this will leave your t-shirts open to being trampled on, spilled on or even accidentally thrown away. The best place to keep them is in a dry dark place so that they stay fresh and clean, but also so that they don't get affected by light. Sunlight shining on your clothes for an extended period of time can fade them. You can often see this happen to curtains if you want to see what it looks like.
Cleaning
One of the most common ways for favourite t-shirts to get ruined is through cleaning disasters. Maybe you turn your t-shirt pink with a stray red sock or you leave it in the tumble dryer for too long and shrink it dramatically. The safest thing to do is to wash it by hand in cold water and avoid using anything like bleach and then leave it to dry naturally. This way you have full control over what happens to it and can avoid putting it in your washing machine. You will also save the message on your favourite funny t shirts or even your men's funny t shirts from being rubbed off.
Safety
A final suggestion to help you keep hold of your favourite t-shirt is to keep it safe. Particularly cool t-shirts may well be a target for thieves. Not exactly organised crime syndicates, but if you leave it on the floor during a house party or at the side of the swimming pool while you swim someone might pick it up. Keep it hidden and you should have your t-shirt for a long time.
