Overview
You finally got that Trash Taste Classic T-Shirt from the official store, and it feels perfect. Soft ring-spun cotton, that clean logo print, the relaxed fit you wanted. Now you need to keep it that way. The same goes for the Premium Hoodie you saved up for or the Polo Shirt you wore to that meetup. This guide covers the simple steps to make your Trash Taste gear last, because nobody wants a faded print or a shrunken hoodie.
Details
Washing
- Turn inside out - This protects the print from friction. Always flip your Trash Taste Classic T-Shirt and other printed items before washing.
- Cold water only - Hot water weakens fabric fibers and can crack prints over time. Cold keeps colors vibrant.
- Gentle cycle - Use the delicate or normal cycle with low spin. Aggressive cycles cause unnecessary wear.
- Mild detergent - Skip bleach and fabric softeners. Bleach eats away at cotton dyes, and softeners can leave a residue that dulls prints.
- Stain treatment - Spot-clean with a little detergent and a soft brush before washing. Don’t rub too hard.
Drying
- Air dry is best - Lay flat or hang your merch away from direct sunlight. Heat is the main enemy of screen prints.
- Low heat if machine drying - If you must use a dryer, set it to low heat or air only. High heat can shrink cotton and cause polyester blending (like in the Trash Taste Premium Hoodie) to pill.
- Remove promptly - Don’t let clothes sit in the dryer after it stops. Wrinkles set in fast.
Ironing
- Avoid if possible - The cotton tees are pre-shrunk and designed to look relaxed. If you must iron, do it inside out on low heat. Never iron directly over the print - it will melt or crack.
Storing
- Fold t-shirts - Hanging stretchy cotton tees can distort the neckline. Fold them neatly and stack.
- Hang hoodies and polos - Use padded hangers for hoodies to maintain shoulder shape. Trash Taste Polo Shirt looks best hung.
- Keep out of sunlight - UV rays fade colors over time. Store in a closet or drawer.
Bonus: Caring for Different Materials
- Trash Taste Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) - 100% ring-spun cotton, pre-shrunk. Follow the steps above. Pre-shrunk helps, but heat still risks shrinking.
- Trash Taste Premium Hoodie ($49.99) - Often a cotton-polyester blend. Polyester can melt under high heat, so low dryer temps are crucial. Also, avoid hanging by the hood - stretch it out.
- Trash Taste Polo Shirt ($34.99) - Typically cotton or cotton blend. Gentle wash, hang dry to keep collar shape.
- Trash Taste Tank Top ($19.99) - Lightweight cotton. Same care as the t-shirt but be extra gentle around straps.
