How To Take Care Your T-Shirts

2010-06-01T18:40:00.000-07:00

Hello again! Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend! Today I'm going to list ways to take care of your T-shirts. Your T-shirts cost you money no matter how cheap they were, so learn how to take care of them. In terms of cars, the better the maintenance, the further the mileage! Here we go:

Wash white colored t-shirts separately with the colored ones

Unless you want your white t-shirt to become a pink one after the wash

Turn shirt inside-out. Machine wash cold. Use gentle cycle unless heavily soiled.

This is one of the most important steps that people tend not to do. Trust me, T-Shirts with prints on them will last a lot longer washed this way than the ones washed with the design on the outside.
Using color protecting detergent is a plus! Keep those vibrant colored t-shirts vibrant

Do not iron printed or embroidered areas.

This is pretty obvious but I didn't know it at first! When you use high heat, especially with the steam, on printed or embroidered areas, the design will either:

Melts
Breaks
or Cracks

To prevent shrinkage and maintain vibrancy, tumble dry on low heat setting.

Or just buy pre-shrunk t-shirts

Do not dryclean

$3 per dry-clean of a $10-$30 t-shirt ? Why would you want to do that?

Lay flat and drip dry for supreme preservation and a long life.

I personally don't recommend drip drying since it leaves the t-shirt a little bit wrinkly and the hanger marks on the shoulders area

Don't leave your t-shirt in the washers/driers for too long after it's done washing/drying

It will wrinkle!
When this happens, use low heat iron on an inside-out t-shirt with a towel covering the trouble areas (design area).

Don't yank over your head or stretch over the shoulder areas when you put your arms through.

You are over-stretching the seams when you do the above mentioned actions

Buy t-shirts that are your size!

If you are a slightly overweight, don't buy a Small shirt. Wear your Large shirt comfortably!
It's actually bad for your health and bad for the t-shirts (again, you are stretching the seams and you are squeezing your body)

There you have it! I hope your t-shirt will last longer this way.

Daily update: 05/21/2010

Only 4 designs were approved by Spreadshirt and I wasn't very happy about it!
It actually takes time to edit over a finished design. There's so much limitations and rules that I have to comply before the design is actually approved. Enough ranting, here's some of the designs that went up:

I will be extremely busy this weekend, and with 40 more designs to go in less than 10 days, that means I would have to design at least 4 approved designs per day. I CAN DO THIS!

No new designs tonite sorry - 12 uploaded & waiting for approval!

2010-05-13T22:33:00.001-07:00

Daily update: 05/13/10

Sorry to say there are no new designs or new product for tonight (I blame Tony Stark for this).
I went to see Ironman 2 and came back home really late.

But, nevertheless, I will keep on with my schedule of having 100 designs in 1 month (deadline is end of May). I uploaded 12 designs tonight (including Baby Got Belly - Piggy) and if everything gets approved tomorrow, I will have a total of 41 designs.

Although my main series are the Baby Got Back and Baby Got Bellies, I wanted to introduce a design series based on the store name: Voices of Mars. Hopefully with this series, I could create some sort of branding that is not too attached to both of the BGB seriesI found out that VOM was already taken by some church group and I don't feel any of my design should be affiliated with any churches.

Another plan that I have is opening up 2 online store front. One using Spreadshirt, while the other is using Storenvy. I will have the 2nd store out by the time I hit my goal of 100 designs in 1 month.

It is kind of hard to concentrate on designing while I have my other half of the brain thinking of internet marketing tools. Voicesofmars is already set up on YouTube, waiting for me to record a video. Any ideas on what to shoot for?

To anyone reading this, here's my plea: tell your friends about Voices of Mars! Be a fan, add me on Facebook, follow me @virtualonmars!

That is it for today's update. I will not be posting anything up on Saturday since it is my paintballing day! But I will work on the store more on Sunday, hoping to have at least 10 designs uploaded to be approved by Monday! C'ya then!
