Glow in the dark ink went brown after one wash?....

about Carnie Nightlife

So this was washed for the first time on a cold wash with other white (mostly threadless) shirts and when it comes out all the glow in the dark ink turned brown!
Nothing else ran so I have no idea what happened.
Is everyone else's shirt ok?

I need to make a shirt with me on it with glow in the dark ink.

Brown in the dark is a brilliant idea!

weird, i've yet to wash mine.

you should post some pics of it...

Espoz on Sep 08 '07 at 8:46am

I'll post pics later on today.

Aww I loved that shirt, I would buy another but it might happen again :/

Espoz on Sep 09 '07 at 3:23am

Added the photo

radiostaticstar on Sep 09 '07 at 3:28am

whoa! no kidding!

did you put it in the dryer or line dry it?

Espoz on Sep 09 '07 at 3:36am

Line dry.

I still have no idea what happened, I mean I have a couple of other glow in the dark shirts and they are fine :/

Has anyone elses gone brown?

Bramish on Sep 09 '07 at 1:53pm

I like how that looks.

chelly on Sep 09 '07 at 1:55pm

does it still glow?

Espoz on Sep 09 '07 at 1:56pm

It still glows a bit, but not as strong as before.

Espoz on Sep 10 '07 at 7:44am

Is everyone else's shirt fine?

lsmc88 on Sep 10 '07 at 7:52am

that's so weird!

well, its cool to see now where the glow in the dark ink is in relation to the color design.

I haven't washed mine yet... now I'm scared! I'll let you know when I do...

Tonteau on Sep 10 '07 at 7:56am

You should have taken out the turds from your washing bachine before hand. Noob error.

fatheed on Sep 10 '07 at 7:58am

hmmmmm

Espoz on Sep 10 '07 at 7:59am

What were you doing in my washing machine, Tonteau?

Tonteau on Sep 10 '07 at 8:01am

Looking for the toilet.

Espoz on Sep 10 '07 at 8:02am

Easy mistake to make.

Awesome Replies from Both Espoz and tontau :D

Just bought it.. Gonna see it I can fit the t shirts.. And if it turns into shit brown..

falco123 on Sep 10 '07 at 1:58pm

I'm wearing the shirt right now and came to post asking what to do about washing glow in the dark stuff...

Guess I found my answer.....

Espoz on Sep 10 '07 at 3:27pm

I emailed Brianne and she said my shirt may be defective as they have no one else with the same problem.

I'm posting it back and going to hope for another :D

falco123 on Sep 11 '07 at 7:06pm

I washed mine today.

It's fine.

It's just a little faded. A little too much for an inside out, cold, low tumble wash.

Bleh.

valorandvellum on Sep 11 '07 at 7:08pm

Whoa... does anybody remember the Kool-Aid that started out one color when it was a powder but then changed colors once you added water? This is like the t-shirt version of that.

Espoz on Sep 12 '07 at 10:39am

Mine is now in the post back to Threadless. Hopefully it will still be in stock when it gets to them.
