To preserve the softness, color, and fit of your Bella + Canvas apparel, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors.

Turn garments inside out and use a mild detergent (protect that graphic you're gonna wear until it falls apart).

Only use non-chlorine bleach when necessary and avoid fabric softeners.

If you need that in more detail...

Washing Steps

• Turn inside out: Protects the outer fabric and any printed designs from friction.
• Cold water: Prevents color fading and limits shrinkage (shrinking is guaranteed to stay under 5%).
• Gentle cycle: Keeps the fibers from breaking down.
• Mild detergent: Harsh soaps can strip pigment-dyed tones and degrade the cotton/poly blends.
• No softeners: Fabric softeners can coat the fibers and interfere with the shirt's natural breathability.

Drying Steps

• Air dry: Hang drying is the best method to preserve the shape and extend the lifespan of the shirt.
• Machine dry: If you use a dryer, set it to the lowest heat setting (tumble dry low). Remove the shirt while it is still slightly damp to prevent stress on the fabric.

Ironing & Extras

• Ironing: Use a medium or warm iron, but always keep the shirt inside out. Never iron directly over screen prints or designs.
• Steaming: A fabric steamer is an excellent alternative to smooth out wrinkles.
• Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean these garments.
