How do you wash those shirts that you get your name spray painted on?

They gave me a piece of paper with instructions... but i lost it...

I remember hand washing it the first time but i forgot how...

Can i machine wash it now that the ink kinda settled in or are there still specific washing instructions??

    It actually depends on the cloth and paint used. normally ,

    Use mild detergent

    To wash spray painted shirts, invest on a mild detergent with no bleach that is meant for machine use. Some types of detergents are too strong that they dissolve paint particles. It is also important to turn the shirt inside out to protect the prints. Wash these shirts on low and rinse twice in tepid water.

    Dry with bath towels

    Finally, once you’re done with the washing, you can then place the shirts in the dryer. A vital tip to follow is to place the shirts with two big bath towels. The bath towels will serve as protection to the fragile shirt by enveloping it with thick fabrics that do not get twisted too much while the dryer is running. If you can follow those steps above, there is no doubt that your spray painted shirt can last for years.
