Caring for Your GOTHAM'S LEGACY Compression Shirt
To maximize the lifespan and maintain the quality of your GOTHAM'S LEGACY compression shirt, we recommend following these detailed care instructions:
Washing Instructions:
- Machine Wash: Always turn your shirt inside out to safeguard the print. Opt for a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent any shrinkage and to lessen the risk of print damage. Choose a mild detergent devoid of bleach and fabric softeners, which can deteriorate the print quality over time.
- Hand Wash: For those preferring to hand wash, treat the shirt gently, especially around the printed area. Cold water and a bit of mild detergent work best. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to eliminate any soap residues.
Drying:
- Air Drying: Lay the shirt flat or hang it to dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent print fading. Should you need to use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting or an air-only cycle to avoid heat damage. Never wring out the shirt, as this action can lead to print cracking.
Ironing:
- If ironing becomes necessary, avoid direct contact with the print by ironing the shirt inside out on a low heat setting. For added precaution, use a pressing cloth between the iron and the shirt fabric.
Storage:
- Store your shirt either folded or on a hanger, ensuring it's placed away from direct sunlight and high humidity areas, which could affect the fabric and print.
Preventing Damage:
- Steer clear of rough surfaces and sharp objects that might snag the fabric or scratch the print. Additionally, excessive stretching, particularly around the printed areas, should be avoided to prevent design cracking.
By adhering to these care instructions, you can ensure that your GOTHAM'S LEGACY compression shirt remains in top-notch condition, retaining both its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
