Keep your ProSupps tee and stringer looking new with simple washing and drying tips. This guide covers care for cotton and cotton-blend gym apparel.
Quick answer
Wash your ProSupps tee and stringer in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry or tumble dry low to prevent shrinkage and fading.
Why cotton gym shirts need special care
Cotton is soft and breathable, but it can shrink or lose shape if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. The ProSupps Oversized Sleeveless Tee and Relaxed Fit Tee are both 100% cotton, while the ProSupps Stringer is a cotton-spandex blend. Each fabric responds differently to heat and agitation.
The 230g weight of the Oversized Sleeveless Tee makes it durable, but heavy cotton can still warp if handled roughly. The Stringer's spandex content gives it stretch, but high heat can break down the elastic fibers over time.
Step-by-step care routine for your ProSupps apparel
- Step 1: Turn shirts inside out: Turn your ProSupps tee or stringer inside out before washing. This protects the printed logo from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum. Common mistake: washing right-side out can cause the logo to crack or peel over time.
- Step 2: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use cold water (below 30°C) and a gentle or delicate cycle. Hot water can shrink 100% cotton shirts and damage the spandex in the Stringer. Add a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener. Checkpoint: if your shirt has stains, pre-treat them with a small amount of detergent before washing.
- Step 3: Air dry or tumble dry low: Lay the shirt flat to air dry for best results, or tumble dry on low heat. High heat can shrink cotton and weaken spandex. Remove the shirt while it is still slightly damp to reduce wrinkles. Common mistake: drying on high heat can shrink the Oversized Sleeveless Tee by a full size.
- Step 4: Store folded, not hung: Fold your tee or stringer and store it in a drawer or shelf. Hanging heavy cotton shirts can stretch the neckline and shoulders over time. The Stringer's lightweight fabric is less prone to stretching, but folding still protects the shape. Checkpoint: avoid storing damp shirts—mildew can develop in cotton within 24 hours.
