T-Shirt & Hoodie Care Instructions — How to Wash | Off The Rails

Care Instructions

Want your Off The Rails Clothing tees and hoodies to look as fresh in year three as they did on day one? Follow these simple care steps and your shirts will outlast every trend.

Washing

  • Turn inside out before washing to protect the print.
  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
  • Use mild detergent. Skip bleach and fabric softeners.
  • Wash with similar colors.

Drying

  • Tumble dry low or hang dry.
  • Avoid high heat — it cracks prints and shrinks cotton.
  • Remove from dryer promptly.

Ironing

Turn the garment inside out and iron on a low setting. Never iron directly over the print.

Storage

Fold tees and hang hoodies in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Avoid plastic bags long-term — cotton needs to breathe.

Fabric Notes

Our tees are ringspun combed cotton or premium cotton/poly blends. Hoodies use soft-brushed fleece. All blanks are pre-shrunk.

Stain Removal

Treat stains quickly with cold water and mild detergent. Do not rub directly on the print. Avoid chlorine bleach.

Make Your Tees Last Years

Cold washes + low-heat drying = decades of wear. Our prints stay vibrant for 100+ washes with proper care.
