Maintenance Script: 100% Cotton Care
GlitchyBerry Care Guide: Keep it Fresh, Keep it Bouncy
Our T-shirts are crafted from 100% premium cotton—which means they’re as soft as a fresh-baked cookie but need the right "logic" to stay that way. Proper care saves you money, protects the planet, and keeps your favorite prints from experiencing unwanted glitches.
To keep your gear in high-res condition, execute this ultimate maintenance script:
1. The Golden Rule: Wash Inside Out! 🔄
Always turn your apparel inside out before tossing it into the drum. This creates a literal "firewall" for your prints, protecting the graphics from friction and keeping the colors vibrant for years.
2. Machine Wash Settings (The System Default) 🧼
Yes, machine washing is fully supported! But remember: Heat is the ultimate enemy. Premium cotton will experience a forced downgrade (shrinkage) if it gets too hot.
-
The Logic: Run a cold/cool water cycle with a gentle detergent.
-
Pro Tip: Cold water keeps colors rendering perfectly and prevents your tee from "downsizing" its own file size.
3. The Drying Protocol (Avoid the Melt) 🌤️
If you choose to use a dryer, treat your garments like a delicate download:
-
The Safe Method: Use a low-heat or permanent press setting, and pull them out while they are still slightly damp.
-
The Gold Standard: Air-drying is the master patch. Hang your tees or lay them flat on a drying rack. This prevents wrinkles, stops shrinkage, and keeps the fabric feeling like a dream.
4. Temperature Control 🌡️
Think of hot water like a system virus—it fades colors and shortens the lifespan of the cotton fibers. Stick to lukewarm or cold water for a healthy, long-lasting garment lifetime.
5. Hand Wash (The Manual Override) 🖐️
If you’re a perfectionist who loves pristine source code, hand washing is the way to go. Fill a basin with cool water, add a dash of mild soap, and let your tee soak. It’s the gentlest way to clear your garment's cache.
💡 Summary for the Busy Berry:
-
Flip it: Inside out, always.
-
Chill it: Cold water only.
-
Air it: Ditch the high-heat dryers.
-
Love it: Because legendary prints deserve to last.
