A simple care guide for your favorite graphic tees

Our graphic t-shirts are made to be worn, loved, and lived in. Like most printed tees, how you wash and dry them plays a big role in how long they keep their shape, color, and design. A little extra care goes a long way.

T-Shirt Care Instructions: 

Wash cold. Always.
Cold water helps preserve the fabric and keeps graphics from cracking or fading.

Turn your tee inside out.
This protects the printed design from friction and over-washing.

Gentle cycle is your friend.
Less agitation = longer life for both the fabric and the artwork.

Skip harsh detergents & bleach.
Strong chemicals break down fibers and wear down prints faster.

Air dry when you can.
Heat is the #1 enemy of graphic tees. Hang drying or laying flat keeps tees looking fresh.

If you must use the dryer:
Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly.

Never iron directly on the design.
If ironing is needed, turn the shirt inside out or place a cloth over the graphic.

A Quick Note (Because We’re Keeping It Real)

Many graphic tees (no matter the brand) naturally show wear over time, especially if exposed to high heat or frequent heavy washing. We recommend following the care steps above to get the maximum wear and longevity out of your tee.

We sincerely hope that with these tips, your t-shirts from Bookish Behavior can be worn for a long time.
