Heavyweight cotton tees and hoodies Wash inside out in cold water with a gentle cycle. Dry in the shade. Direct sun fades dark colours. Avoid high-heat dryers: they cause most shrinkage. Denim and cargos Wash less often, and inside out, to keep the colour. Cold wash, and hang to dry. Sneakers Brush off dust, then clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Stuff with paper and dry in the shade, never on a heater. Printed and embroidered pieces Wash inside out, and iron on the reverse side.
