Tips

Avoid stretching tees. It is recommended to keep shirts on flat surface instead of stretching to make it wrinkle free. Stretching will distort the original size of the t-shirt.Thanks
-
Use a sock while drying your clothes inside a dryer, as the extra cloth.Thanks
-
Whenever you do laundry, do not keep your clothes, especially t-shirts, in a basket for a long time. If you do, the clothes will get wrinkled. Instead, flatten the clothes right away by folding or hanging them and placing in storage straight away.Thanks
