Cooking Division Long Sleeve T-Shirt Care and Washing Tips

Quick Answer

Wash your HexClad Cooking Division long sleeve t-shirt in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or air dry to preserve the soft cotton and screen print.

Step-by-Step Care Instructions

1. Turn the shirt inside out: Before washing, turn the tee inside out. This protects the screen print from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum. Common mistake: washing right side out can cause the print to fade or crack faster.
2. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use cold water and a mild detergent. Select the gentle or delicate cycle on your machine. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down cotton fibers and dull the print. Checkpoint: hot water can shrink the cotton and distort the slim fit.
3. Tumble dry low or air dry: Dry the shirt on low heat in the dryer, or lay it flat to air dry. Remove it from the dryer while still slightly damp to reduce wrinkles and prevent over-drying. Common mistake: high heat can shrink the shirt and damage the print. Air drying is the safest option.
4. Iron inside out if needed: If wrinkles appear, iron the shirt inside out on a low to medium setting. Avoid ironing directly over the print. Checkpoint: high heat from an iron can melt or crack the screen print.
5. Store folded, not hung: Fold the tee and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging for long periods can stretch the neckband and shoulders, especially with the soft cotton fabric. Common mistake: hanging a cotton tee can cause permanent stretching at the shoulders.
