Wash off some of that dusty dirt
Keep your favorite Tourbus gear looking great for years. Follow these tips:
Before You Wash
- Turn garments inside out: protects prints and screen-printed artwork from abrasion.
- Sort by color: ash darks with darks and lights with lights to prevent dye transfer.
- Fasten buttons / close zippers (if any) to reduce wear in the machine.
Washing
- Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle or delicate cycle. Cold water helps preserve color and print vibrancy.
- Use a mild liquid detergent: avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Do not use fabric softener on screen-printed pieces; it can break down inks over time.
Hand Wash Option: For extra gentle care, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent.
Drying
- Tumble dry low or air dry: ow heat prevents shrinking and fading of fabric and print.
- Remove promptly when dry to reduce wrinkles.
- For best longevity, air-dry flat or hang dry out of direct sunlight. Sun fading can weaken prints.
Ironing & Decoration Care
- If needed, iron inside out on low heat.
- Avoid ironing directly on screen-printed areas.
- Steam is fine if done on the reverse side only.
Things to Avoid
- No bleach unless label explicitly allows non-chlorine only.
- No high heat drying.
- No dry cleaning unless specified for specialty or delicate items.
