Tie-Dye!!

Tie-Dye shirt - Instructions for home

We love pouring joyful color on our Cheyne Ranch t-shirts! Now your child is home with a very wet, very colorful shirt in a plastic bag, here’s what to do next to help that vibrant color last:

Step-by-Step Tie-Dye Care

1. Do NOT open the bag!
Instead, toss the closed bag with the shirt straight into your freezer.

2. Let it freeze for 6–24 hours.
This helps lock in the color before rinsing.

3. Time to rinse.
Take the shirt out of the freezer and head to a sink, bathtub, or outdoor hose area.

4. Remove the rubber bands.
Unfold the shirt carefully and take off all rubber bands.

5. Rinse with cold water.
Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. (This might take a little while—totally normal!)

6. Wash it solo.
Pop the shirt into the washing machine by itself.
(If you have multiple tie-dyed shirts, wash them one at a time.)

• Use cold water.

• No detergent.

7. Don’t use the dryer!
Instead, hang the shirt to air dry.

🎉 That’s it!
These extra steps are all about making sure your child’s shirt stays bright and beautiful—just like the memories they made at the ranch.

Kids are welcome to wear their shirts - we are going to try for a group photo on Thursday!!
