Sanitarium t-shirt warning!!!!!!!!! (important read!)

[boxzila]

Hey yall

I just got a PM from someone who washed thier Sanitarium T-shirt and all the ink bled, and bled on other clothes!!!!!


Please try this method for washing and wash the shirts seprately from other clothes the 1st time.

*****Wash your shirt on a gentle cycle in cold/warm water with 2 cups of plain white vinegar (no detergent or other chemicals.) Adding the vinegar to water is a method I have used on other dyed clothes to "set the ink"****

Then you can dry it by either hanging it or on a warm gentle drying cycle

I will try a test on one of my shirts today and let you know the results

I will also be contacting the manuafacturer about this today as well

Ok I did a test this morning the vinegar method worked fine, there was no bleeding, the colors remained vibrant so that is the proper method (old method I learned from setting the dye in my work clothes)

Wash the shirt separately in cold/warm water with 2 cups of vinegar (no detergent) drip dry or dry in a gentle cycle. After that you can was as normal

Unfortunately I dont have any more

Someone who shall remain nameless (she drives a green box with graphix on it) gave them away behind my back:pirate: and the box was set out and people just took them so there are none left, which is a shame because I had promised all of the sponsors one, now I gotta get on the :telephone: and kiss some booty:(

Im sorry Malane,

Tom from Rip graphix said that was an issue on the first batch he ran so he started over and ran another batch (hence I didnt get them till Saturday AM) and he thought he had the problem corrected.

The vinegar wash works just fine, Im just hopeful people read this thread before anymore wash them

although a friend of mine in Scinergy who didnt get the caution in time was very happy he had "mint green" "thighty whiteys" to wear yesterday on St Paddys day:rofl::rofl::rofl:
