Mix tie dye with any other items the first time you wash them.

Use bleach, even on white fabric
Put sheer lingerie, fishnets, or stockings in the washer.
Leave wet clothing sitting in the washer for extended periods of time
Leave clothing running in the dryer for an expended period of time
Repeated exposure to high temperatures or long dryer cycles will diminish the quality of most fabrics.

T-SHIRTS & TOPS (SOLIDS)

SHORTS & PANTS

Shorts and pants can be machine washed using cold water. Do not bleach.

HATS

DELICATE LINGERIE, FISHNETS, STOCKINGS (SHEER & MESH FABRIC)

This applies to items with delicate threads, mesh, fishnet, sheer (see through), or material which may rip if cleaned in a washing machine.

TIE DYE CLOTHING

All tie dye clothing must be washed by itself the first time to get out the excess dye. Use cold water in a washing machine. After that, your free to throw your tie dye clothing in with your regular machine wash.

BLANKETS

As with tie dye, blankets contain large amounts of dye that might run into other clothing if washed together. This is why it's best to wash blankets all by themselves in a washer with cold water.

Note that your blankets will lose their softness if they are exposed to extended periods of time spent in the dryer. To maintain quality, wash only when necessary.

FLAGS, BAGS & OTHER NON-APPAREL ACCESSORIES

These items must be spot cleaned. Dip a wash cloth in warm, soapy water and dab at the areas that need to be cleaned. Do not use bleach.
