Learn how to wash, dry, and store your LIFX tee so the gradient print stays vibrant and the fabric keeps its soft, oversized fit.
Quick answer
Turn your LIFX tee inside out, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, and hang it to dry to keep the gradient print and soft cotton looking their best.
Why the print needs special care
The LIFX tee features a subtle gradient mark across the chest that can fade or crack if treated roughly. Heat and friction are the main culprits, so avoiding hot water and high-heat drying is the simplest way to keep the design intact.
The midweight cotton fabric is designed to drape naturally from dropped shoulders. Over-washing or using harsh detergents can break down the fibers, making the tee lose its relaxed structure over time.
LIFX Tee Care FAQ
- How should I wash my LIFX tee?
- Turn the tee inside out, use cold water, and select a gentle cycle. Mild detergent helps protect both the print and the cotton fibers. Always zip or button any other garments in the load to avoid snagging the fabric.
- Can I put my LIFX tee in the dryer?
- Air drying is best. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove the tee while it's still slightly damp to reduce shrinkage and print cracking. Lay the tee flat to finish drying to help it keep its oversized shape.
- How do I remove stains without harming the print?
- Spot treat stains with a small amount of mild detergent and cold water, gently dabbing rather than scrubbing. Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers, especially on the printed area. Rinse the spot thoroughly to prevent detergent residue from dulling the colors.
- What about ironing or steaming?
- Do not iron directly over the print. If wrinkles need attention, iron the tee inside out on a low setting, or use a steamer while holding it away from the design. Hang the tee immediately after steaming to let the fabric settle.
- How should I store my LIFX tee?
- Fold the tee and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Hanging for long periods can stretch the shoulders and distort the oversized fit. Avoid stacking heavy items on top that could crease the print.
