Bedside Report Nurse Tee — Handing Over the Chaos

You spend your shifts caring for others.

Here's how to care for the shirt that carries your story.

Washing

• Machine wash cold — max 30°C / 90°F
• Wash with similar colors to prevent color transfer
• Turn the shirt inside out before washing — protects the print every time
• Use a gentle cycle when possible
• Avoid washing with heavy items like jeans or towels — they create friction that wears the print down

Drying

• Tumble dry on low heat only
• Remove promptly when dry — sitting in a hot dryer breaks down the print over time
• Air drying is always the gentlest option — lay flat or hang to keep the shape
• Don't high heat — it shrinks the fabric and cracks the design

Ironing

• Iron on low heat only
• Never iron directly on the print — always iron inside out or place a thin cloth over the design
• Steam is fine — keep it moving, don't hold in one spot

Always Avoid

• No bleach — ever
• No dry cleaning
• No wringing or twisting — it distorts the fabric
• No ironing directly on the graphic

Pro Tips to Make It Last

• Wash less frequently when possible — spot clean minor stains instead
• Use a mild, fragrance-free detergent — harsh chemicals fade prints faster
• For heather or blended colors, cold water is especially important to prevent color bleeding
• Store folded, not hung — hanging stretches the collar over time

Treat it well and it'll be with you through hundreds of shifts — just like the calling that inspired it.
