Where To Keep Your Smiling Friends Doll To Add Personality To Your Space
March 26, 2026
The reason to keep your favourite Smiling Friends T-shirt from fading even more is simple: it’s your favourite Smiling Friends T-shirt! We get that it is sometimes unavoidable but it’s good to remember: Smiling Friends T-shirts are not like your 3, 4 or 5 test-tee to see whether it fits or not, and also not something to discount because you got it at the swap meet. It should also not be confused with the shirts you wear to paint the fence (pro tip: wear an old shirt you don’t mind ruining!). It’s crazy annoying to see that after 5 or 6 washes your Smiling Friends T-shirt is fading, cracking or becoming to small to wear anymore. It is the hard work of designers and or illustrator that makes a Smiling Friends T-shirt of value; and your caring for it can change how it looks in the coming months and years. Most care for a clothing item we can wear, is not even that hard, and that also goes for a Smiling Friends T-shirt.
While we get that not a lot of people remember doing this because it’s often not your first instinct, the reason we strongly recommend you do this is because it is a good habit to get into. It’s even more so a good habit to wash your Smiling Friends T-shirt in cold water!
An additional tip that may be less obvious is how you store your shirts. In many instances, if you keep shirts stored folded instead of hanging, you store shirts folded, instead of hanging, you can keep shirts made of lightweight fabric from losing their shape as quickly as you would if you were to hang them. This can also prevent the neckline from stretching too much over time.
Caring for your Smiling Friends T-shirts doesn’t take terribly much effort on your part. With the right habits, your favorite designs can be worn for a long time while still looking nice and being comfortable.
