Fisher Price x André Saraiva Tie Dye Sweatshirt Care

Quick answer

Wash your Fisher Price x André Saraiva tie dye sweatshirt inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat to preserve the print and colors.

Diagnosis and care steps

• Symptom: Colors look dull or the print starts to crack after a few washes.
• Likely cause: Washing in warm or hot water, using a harsh cycle, or drying in a machine. Heat and agitation break down the dye and the print adhesive.
• Corrective action: Turn the sweatshirt inside out. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Air dry flat away from direct sunlight. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove while still slightly damp. Check the care label before each wash. If the print feels stiff or the colors look uneven, switch to hand washing.
• Stop or choose another option: If the sweatshirt has stubborn stains, do not scrub the print. Instead, dab a small amount of mild detergent on the stain and rinse gently. If the print lifts or the dye runs, stop washing and consult a professional cleaner who works with collectible apparel. For everyday wear, consider a garment bag for extra protection in the wash.
