PRODUCT CARE GUIDE

At Earn Ya Rep, we want to help you keep your t-shirts, hoodies, and performance gear looking fresh, comfortable, and durable. Follow these care instructions to extend the life of your apparel.

FABRIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

COTTON

FABRIC

Cotton is a natural, breathable fabric that is soft and versatile. It is commonly used for t-shirts, casual wear, and undergarments. While comfortable, cotton can shrink if washed in hot water and absorbs moisture, drying slowly. To care for cotton, wash it in cold water to maintain its shape and color and dry it on a low heat setting or air dry.

WASHING

Use cold water to prevent shrinkage and fading. Wash on a gentle cycle to avoid excessive friction and wear. Avoid overloading the washing machine to allow proper cleaning. Gently agitate the fabric and rinse thoroughly.

DRYING

Air dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain shape. If using a dryer, choose a low-heat setting and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles.

STAIN REMOVAL

Treat stains with baking soda paste (baking soda + water) for odors or tough stains. Pre-treat with a gentle liquid detergent or white vinegar before washing.

CARE NOTES

Avoid using bleach as it can weaken fibers. Turn garments inside out before washing to protect printed designs.

FABRIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

POLYESTER

FABRIC

Polyester is a durable, wrinkle-resistant, and quick-drying fabric that retains color well. Lightweight and low-maintenance, it’s ideal for activewear, jackets, and everyday garments. Although not as breathable as natural fibers, polyester is easy to care for: wash it in cold or warm water, and air dry or tumble dry on low heat to avoid damage.

WASHING

Wash in cold or warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce breathability. Wash with similar synthetic fabrics to prevent lint transfer.

DRYING

Always air dry performance gear to maintain elasticity and moisture-wicking properties. If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to avoid damaging the fabric.

STAIN REMOVAL

Use dish soap for oil-based stains. Apply rubbing alcohol or white vinegar to ink or stubborn stains.

CARE NOTES

Avoid washing with rough materials like denim, as friction can cause pilling. Store flat or folded; hanging can stretch out the fabric over time.

FABRIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

COTTON-POLYESTER

FABRIC

Cotton-Polyester Blends combine the softness and breathability of cotton with the durability and wrinkle-resistance of polyester. These blends are less prone to shrinking and are perfect for t-shirts, sweatshirts, and casual wear. To preserve the integrity of the fabric, wash in cold water and dry on a low heat setting.

WASHING

Wash in cold water to preserve the integrity of both cotton and polyester fibers. Use a delicate cycle to minimize wear and tear. Turn inside out to protect any designs or screen prints.

DRYING

Air dry whenever possible to prevent shrinking. Low heat in the dryer is safe for blends, but remove promptly to avoid wrinkles.


STAIN REMOVAL

Pre-treat with a mixture of detergent and water. For grease stains, sprinkle baking soda and let it sit before washing.

FABRIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

FLEECE

FABRIC

Fleece is soft, lightweight, and insulating, making it perfect for hoodies, jackets, and blankets. It dries quickly and resists moisture but is prone to pilling over time. For care, wash fleece in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat in the dryer to preserve its texture.

WASHING

Turn fleece garments inside out to prevent pilling. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to maintain softness. Avoid fabric softeners—they can reduce fleece’s plush texture.

DRYING

Air dry flat to preserve the fluffy texture. Avoid high-heat drying, which can cause matting of the fleece fibers.


STAIN REMOVAL

Use a stain remover spray and let it sit for 10 minutes before washing. For stubborn stains, gently rub the area with a mixture of water and dish soap.


CARE NOTES

Use a lint roller or fabric comb to remove any fuzz or pills.

FABRIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

ELASTANE, SPANDEX, NYLON

FABRIC

Elastane/Spandex/Nylon fabrics are known for their stretchiness, durability, and moisture-wicking properties, making them ideal for activewear, leggings, and performance gear. They retain their shape well and resist wrinkles but are sensitive to high heat. For proper care, wash these materials in cold water with mild detergent and air dry to maintain their elasticity and performance.

WASHING

Wash performance apparel separately to prevent lint buildup. Use cold water and a gentle detergent designed for activewear. Avoid washing with towels or other materials that can shed fibers.


DRYING

Air dry only—high heat can damage the elasticity and moisture-wicking properties. Hang garments in a shaded area to prevent UV damage.



STAIN REMOVAL

Treat stains with white vinegar or an activewear-specific stain remover. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no detergent residue remains.


CARE NOTES

Do not use fabric softeners; they can clog the fabric’s breathability. Fold performance gear rather than hanging to maintain its shape.


FABRIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

WOOL

FABRIC

Wool is a natural fabric known for its warmth and excellent insulation, even when wet. It is breathable, moisture-wicking, and ideal for sweaters, cold-weather gear, and socks. However, wool requires delicate care to avoid shrinking. Hand washing or using a wool-specific detergent on a gentle cycle is best, and always air dry to maintain its quality.

WASHING

Hand wash in cold water with a wool-safe detergent. Avoid twisting or wringing the fabric; gently press out water.



DRYING

Lay flat on a towel to air dry. Reshape the garment as it dries. Never use a dryer for wool items.




STAIN REMOVAL

Blot stains with a clean cloth and cold water immediately. Use a wool-safe stain remover for tough spots.

  • WASH LIKE A PRO

    Read the Label: Follow care instructions specific to each garment.
    Pre-Treat Stains: Use stain remover or mild dish soap on stains before washing.
    Sort by Color: Keep darks and lights separate to avoid color bleeding.
    Turn Inside Out: Protect prints and reduce wear during washing.

  • DRY IT RIGHT

    Air Dry is Best: Lay flat or hang to maintain shape and avoid shrinkage.
    Low Heat for Dryers: If using a dryer, stick to a low setting and remove items promptly

  • KEEP IT FRESH
