Keep your Oklahoma City Comets Route 66 Team Tour T-Shirt Black looking great with this straightforward care guide. Learn how to wash, dry, and preserve the screen print.
Quick Answer
Wash your Route 66 Team Tour T-Shirt inside out in cold water, then tumble dry on low or air dry to protect the screen print and keep the black color from fading.
Why Care Matters for This Tee
The Route 66 Team Tour T-Shirt Black is a classic cotton tee from GoTeez Clothing Co., featuring a bold screen-printed graphic. Cotton is comfortable but can shrink or fade if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. The screen print needs gentle treatment to avoid cracking or peeling.
This guide focuses on the specific needs of this shirt, so you can wear it to games or around town for seasons to come.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Turn the Shirt Inside Out: Before washing, flip the tee inside out. This protects the screen print from direct friction against other clothes or the machine drum. Skipping this step is the most common cause of premature graphic wear.
- Wash in Cold Water on a Gentle Cycle: Use cold water and a mild detergent. Hot water can shrink the cotton and fade the black dye. A gentle cycle reduces agitation that could stress the print. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners—they can dull the graphic and break down the print adhesive over time.
- Dry on Low Heat or Air Dry: Tumble dry on low heat, or better yet, lay the shirt flat to air dry. High heat can cause shrinkage and make the screen print crack or peel. Remove the shirt while it's still slightly damp to minimize wrinkles. If you use a dryer, take the shirt out as soon as the cycle ends to prevent heat buildup.
- Store Flat or Folded: Fold the shirt and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging for long periods can stretch the neckline and shoulders, especially on a cotton tee. If you must hang it, use a wide, padded hanger to reduce stress on the fabric.
