How to Wash Supima Cotton?

Wash It Right, Wear It Longer

You’ve invested in something better—Supima cotton. It’s softer, stronger, and smoother than regular cotton. But if you want it to stay that way, the secret is simple: wash it with care.

Let’s break it down. No fuss, no confusion—just the right way to keep your Supima T-shirts looking and feeling brand new.

Step-by-Step: Washing Supima Cotton

🧼 Step 1: Start with the Label

Before anything else, check the care label on your T-shirt. Brands sometimes add their own recommendations based on stitching, dyes, or blends.

👕 Step 2: Flip It Inside Out

This protects the outer surface and helps the fabric hold onto its color and smooth texture.

💧 Step 3: Use Cold Water

Hot water can weaken fibers and cause shrinkage. Stick to cold or lukewarm water—it’s gentler and works just as well.

🌀 Step 4: Gentle Cycle = Gentle Care

Use your washing machine’s gentle or delicate cycle. If you're washing by hand, even better!

🧴 Step 5: Go Easy on Detergent

Avoid strong detergents or bleach. A gentle, liquid detergent will clean your Supima cotton without stripping its softness or color.


Drying: Less Heat, More Love

Best Choice: Air Dry

Lay flat or hang in a shady spot. It helps the fabric keep its shape and avoids shrinkage.

⚠️ If You Must Use a Dryer:

Use a low heat setting and don’t over-dry. High heat can weaken even the strongest Supima threads.

Extra Tips to Keep It Looking Fresh

  • Avoid fabric softeners. Supima cotton is naturally soft—you don’t need them.

  • Wash similar colors together to prevent color transfer.

  • Don’t over-wash. If it’s not dirty, give it a break. Over-washing wears fabric down faster.

Final Thought

Supima cotton is built to last—but only if you treat it right. 

Give it a little extra care, and it’ll stay soft, strong, and sharp-looking for years.
