Parents,

During the Reading Counts party tomorrow, your son or daughter will be coming home with a tye dye shirt in a plastic bag. Please read the directions below about how to care for the new shirt:

IMPORTANT: Shirt MUST set and “cure” for 24 hours.

Instructions:

1. Pre-fill washing machine with HOT water.

2. Remove shirt from the bag. While still tied, rinse shirt with cold water.

3. Continue rinsing in warmer water while untying and until the water runs fairly clear.

4. Then, wash the shirt through full wash cycle in hot water.

NOTE: Wash 2 times by itself as colors could bleed the first few washings!!!!
