Ghoul Wash Tee Care: Keep the Print Looking Fresh Longer

Quick Answer

To keep your Ghoul Wash Tee's embroidery and puff print looking fresh, wash it inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, air dry it flat, and avoid ironing directly over the graphics.

Diagnosing Print Fading and Damage

• Symptom: Print looks faded or dull: Wash the tee inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can break down print inks and fibers. Check the label for any specific care instructions before washing.
• Symptom: Puff print cracking or peeling: Do not tumble dry on high heat. Air dry the tee flat, or use the lowest heat setting if you must machine dry. High heat can cause puff print to crack and separate from the fabric. If you see cracks, stop using the dryer and switch to air drying completely.
• Symptom: Embroidery snagging or fraying: Wash the tee inside out and avoid washing it with items that have zippers, hooks, or rough textures. Consider using a mesh laundry bag for extra protection. If snags occur, gently pull the fabric away from the embroidery and trim loose threads carefully.
• Symptom: Ironing causes shiny marks or melted print: Never iron directly over the graphics. Turn the tee inside out and iron on a low setting, or use a pressing cloth. For puff print, avoid ironing altogether. If you need to remove wrinkles, steam the tee instead of ironing.
• When to stop and choose another option: If the print has already cracked or peeled significantly, further washing won't restore it. At that point, consider the tee a casual piece or a display item, and follow care instructions strictly for future tees. Prevention is easier than repair—start proper care from the first wash.

Product Facts

• GHOUL WASH TEE: The Ghoul Wash Tee has a heavyweight pre-shrunk 100% cotton fabric with an oversized/baggy fit and a washed black color. Pre-shrunk cotton resists shrinkage, but the washed finish and dark color can fade or develop uneven wear if not washed gently.
