How to Wash & Care for Your Tank Tops and Sweatshirts: A Simple Guide

Quality pieces deserve quality care.

At Ltashirt, we craft tank tops and sweatshirts with premium fabrics and clean silhouettes – meant to last through daily wear and quiet moments. But even the best-made items need the right care to stay soft, breathable, and beautiful over time.

Here’s how to keep your favorites fresh, season after season.

1. Wash Less, Air More

Washing too frequently can wear down fabric faster. Instead:

  • Hang your sweatshirt or tank top to air out after each wear
  • Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth
  • Only wash when truly needed – especially for sweatshirts

Less washing = longer lifespan + lower environmental impact.

2. Use Cold Water and Gentle Detergent

When it’s time to wash:

  • Turn the garment inside out to protect color and stitching
  • Use cold water to prevent shrinkage or fading
  • Choose a mild, fragrance-free detergent
  • Avoid bleach or harsh softeners – they break down natural fibers

Cold + gentle = preserved softness and structure.

3. Skip the Dryer (When You Can)

Heat can damage fabric elasticity and cause shrinkage. Instead:

  • Lay flat to dry (especially for sweatshirts) to retain shape
  • For tank tops, hang-dry in shade to prevent stretching
  • If you must use a dryer, choose low heat and remove while slightly damp

Air-drying keeps fit and fabric intact.

4. Fold, Don’t Hang (For Sweatshirts)

Sweatshirts are best folded – not hung. Hangers can stretch out the shoulders over time.
Fold them flat and store in a cool, dry space.

Tank tops can be hung if needed, but use padded or wide hangers to avoid strap warping.

Store with intention = wear with confidence.

5. Bonus Tip: Fabric Care Symbols Matter

Always check the care label inside your garment.
At Ltashirt, we include clear symbols and instructions on every tag – so you don’t have to guess.

Understanding those little icons helps prevent big mistakes.

Final Thought: Respect the Pieces You Love

Taking care of your clothes is taking care of yourself.
When you wash gently, dry mindfully, and store intentionally – you extend not just the life of your wardrobe, but the comfort it brings you.

Ltashirt pieces are made to last.
With the right care, they’ll stay with you for a long, long time.
