Keep your Minor Figures sticker pack and Barista Brain T-shirt looking fresh with simple care steps, from applying vinyl stickers to washing screen-printed cotton.
Quick answer
Treat your Minor Figures merch like your favorite brewing gear: apply stickers to clean, dry surfaces and wash the Barista Brain T-shirt inside out in cold water, then air-dry it. These small habits prevent peeling edges and cracked prints.
Why sticker placement and shirt washing need different approaches
Stickers and screen-printed shirts fail for opposite reasons. Stickers peel when they go on dusty or oily surfaces, while screen prints crack when they face heat and friction in the wash. The MF Sticker Pack uses high-quality vinyl, but the adhesive still needs a clean base to bond. The Barista Brain T-shirt is 100% certified organic cotton with a screen print, so the fabric can shrink slightly and the ink can wear if you treat it roughly.
When to skip the dishwasher or dryer
Never put the Barista Brain T-shirt in the dryer if you want the print to last. High heat breaks down the screen-print ink and can cause the cotton to shrink. Similarly, avoid soaking stickers in water or applying them to surfaces that stay damp, like a bathroom mirror or a frequently washed water bottle. If you need to remove a sticker later, gentle heat from a hairdryer works better than scraping.
Your step-by-step merch care routine
- Apply stickers to a clean, dry surface: Wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth and let it dry completely. Peel the sticker from its backing and press from the center outward, smoothing out air bubbles as you go. Avoid touching the adhesive side; oils from your fingers weaken the bond.
- Remove stickers gently with heat: If you need to reposition or remove a sticker, warm it with a hairdryer on low for 10–15 seconds, then peel slowly from one corner. Use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth to remove leftover residue. Never use a knife or razor blade; it can scratch the surface underneath.
- Wash the T-shirt inside out in cold water: Turn the Barista Brain T-shirt inside out before washing. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Washing inside out protects the screen print from friction against other garments.
- Air-dry the T-shirt flat or hang it: After washing, reshape the shirt and dry it flat or hang it on a line away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove the shirt while slightly damp.
- Store stickers and shirt properly: Keep unused stickers in the original glassine bag in a cool, dry place. Fold the T-shirt loosely and store it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Check stickers periodically for curling edges; press them back down before they attract dust.
