Taking care of your clothes the right way helps them last longer, stay vibrant, and keep their vintage charm. Here’s your ultimate guide to washing and maintaining different fabrics and colors.

👕 Cotton (T-Shirts, Hoodies, Sweatshirts)

✅ Detergent: Mild detergent, avoid harsh chemicals

✅ Drying: Air dry or tumble dry low to keep the fibers strong

✅ Ironing: Use medium heat, and steam if needed

❌ Avoid: High heat, as it can cause shrinkage

📝 Pro Tip: Wash inside out to protect prints and graphics!

🏁 Polyester & Blends (Sportswear, Windbreakers)

✅ Wash: Cold to warm water (30-40°C)

✅ Detergent: Regular detergent, no bleach

✅ Drying: Air dry for best results, or tumble dry low

🖤 Dark & Black Clothing (Graphic Tees, Hoodies, Denim)

✅ Wash: Cold water, gentle cycle

✅ Detergent: Liquid detergent for dark colors
