You just got your new shirt from the local print shop and you love it! But it's a little stiff...what can you do? Luckily, there are a few easy ways to soften screen printed shirts so that they feel great against your skin. In this blog post, we'll show you how to do it.

How to Soften a Screen Printed Shirt

There are a few different ways that you can soften a screen printed shirt. One way is to wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Wash it in the washing machine on the delicate cycle. You can also add half a cup of table salt to the wash water to help break down the fibers of the shirt and make it softer.

After washing the shirt, hang it up to dry or put it in the dryer on low heat. If you hang dry your shirt, be sure to smooth out any wrinkles before putting it in the dryer so that they don't set in. Once the shirt is dry, you can iron it on low heat to further soften the fabric.

How to Tell if Your Screen Printed Shirt is Too Stiff

If you're not sure whether your screen-printed shirt is too stiff, there's an easy way to tell: try bending it. If it cracks or breaks, then it's definitely too stiff! If it bends without breaking, then it's probably just stiff from the printing process and will soften up over time. I

f you're still not sure, take it to your local print shop and ask them for their opinion. They should be able to tell you whether the shirt is too stiff or just needs a little more time to soften up. In the meantime, try not to put too much pressure on the shirt by folding it or hanging it up by the neckline.

Treat it gently and give it some time - eventually, it will soften up and be as comfortable as any other shirt in your closet.
