must be the detergent i use.

First important thing is to use a good soap and if possible, wash by hand. If machine washing, Do not wash with towels!

Use cold or cool water and lay flat to dry or line dry.

I buy my soap from www.thelaundress.com

They are fantastic !!!

omg, this blog helped me alot, i just bought new threadless tees and i wont want them to fade like my other ones.

I hand wash mine, but thats because I am poor and don't have a washing machine. I have had Flowers in the Attic for maybe two years now, and it is only just starting to curl...

Most, but not all, of my threadless tees fade after washing--something about the ink, I think. I actually had discoloration issues with the actual shirt AND the screenprint design faded for Camouflage.
