💕 How to Care for Your Embroidered Tee (So She Stays Cute Forever)

You’ve just unwrapped your new embroidered tee — soft, stitched, and totally custom. Whether you picked it out for yourself or got it as a gift (from someone with excellent taste, obviously), you’re going to want to keep her looking fresh.

The good news? Caring for your embroidered shirt isn’t complicated. Just follow a few simple rules, and she’ll keep showing up cute for wash day after wash day.

🌼 Wash Her Gently

She’s been through a lot — thread, heat, and a whole lot of love went into making this tee just for you. So let’s treat her kindly:

• Wash inside out to protect the embroidery
• Use warm water (not hot!) with a mild detergent
• Skip anything intense like bleach, peroxide, or harsh cleaners — they’ll mess with the thread and fade the fabric

🧺 Dry the Right Way

This is important: no line drying. Comfort Colors tees can get stiff and crunchy if you hang them out to dry, and the embroidery doesn’t love it either.

• Tumble dry on low heat
• Do not line dry
• Don’t wring her out — ever. That’s a fast track to wrinkles and warped stitches.

💁♀️ Iron, If You Must

If your tee’s feeling a little rumpled (honestly, same), go ahead and iron — but make sure you do it inside out and on a low heat setting. The embroidery likes things chill.

And please, whatever you do, don’t dry clean. She’s a homebody at heart.

🚫 A Few Hard No’s

Just a few more quick rules, so you don’t accidentally break her heart (or her stitching):

• Don’t soak the tee or leave it damp and folded
• Don’t let embroidery touch embroidery when it’s wet
• Don’t bleach — even a little
• Don’t panic if she looks a little different after the first wash — garment-dyed tees are made to soften and age like fine wine

💌 Final Thoughts

Your tee was stitched with care — not mass-produced. That means a little extra love goes a long way. And trust us, when you treat her right, she’ll be your go-to for everything from errands to brunch dates to matching moments with your best girls.
