1. **Washing**: It is advisable to wash sensitive items in cold water to prevent fading and shrinkage. Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine to minimize agitation, which can lead to wear and tear. If possible, turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the printed designs.
2. **Drying**: Air drying is the preferred method for sensitive items. Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it to dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting to prevent damage to the fabric and designs.
