General Rules for All Bad Friends Merch

1. Turn it inside out - This protects the print from rubbing against other clothes and the machine’s drum. 2. Cold water only - Hot water fades colors and can crack the print. Cold keeps the design sharp. 3. Gentle cycle - Aggressive agitation stresses the fabric and print joints. Use the gentle or delicate cycle. 4. Hang dry - This is the most important step. Tumble drying shrinks cotton and can peel the print. Air drying preserves the fit and graphic.

Specific Fabric Tips

• T-shirts and Long Sleeves (100% cotton): Wash with like colors. Skip fabric softener - it coats fibers and reduces breathability. If you must iron, do it on the reverse side (no direct heat on print).
• Hoodies and Sweatshirts (cotton-polyester blend): They resist wrinkles better, but still avoid high heat. Polyester can melt or warp in a hot dryer. Always hang or lay flat to dry.
• Hats and Accessories (cotton twill or polyester): Spot clean with a damp cloth if possible. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cold water and reshape while damp. Never machine wash hats - the brim loses shape.
