Keep It Fresh: How to Care for Your Cotton Tees Like a Pro

At DEMBABES, we don’t just make t-shirts - we craft statement pieces. Whether you’re repping our signature graphics or rocking the essentials, your cotton tee deserves proper care to keep it looking crisp, clean, and ready for the streets.

Here’s the lowdown on how to keep your DEMBABES cotton tees fresh and lasting long:

1. Wash Cold, Stay Bold
Cold water is your tee’s best friend. It keeps colors vibrant and prevents shrinkage. Hot water? That’s a no-go unless you’re trying to turn your XL into a small crop.

2. Flip It Inside Out
Before tossing it in the wash, flip your tee inside out. It protects the print and reduces friction with other clothes. Less wear, more flair.

3. Keep It Chill with the Detergent
Go easy on the soap. Mild detergent does the job without stripping the fabric or fading the color. Harsh chemicals = harsh vibes.

4. Skip the Dryer (If You Can)
Air-drying is the move. Hang it up or lay it flat your tee will thank you with longevity. But if you’re in a rush, tumble dry on low. High heat is a cotton killer.

5. Ironing? Do It Smooth
If you’re gonna iron, flip the shirt inside out and keep the heat on low. Avoid pressing directly on any graphics or screen print, let them live their best life.

6. Don’t Overwash
Not every wear needs a wash. Sometimes a quick air-out or fabric refresher is all it takes. Less washing = longer life = more fits.

Your DEMBABES tee is more than just fabric, it’s your flex. Treat it right, and it’ll stay sharp, soft, and ready for whatever your day throws at you. Respect the tee, respect the brand.
