Without you, the event would have been unsuccessful.

We've never had a problem with any of the SFD shirts running because we expect any dyed stuff to possibly run the first time it's washed and always do this. I wasn't around to see the water this time but I recall one of the previous orange shirts ran pretty bad the first wash too.

T-Shirt Washing Instructions

by GPCS - Grant Petch

Hi All: I had the same thing here in South Australia last year when we had those bright orange shirts. You have to wash them separately in a bucket soaking overnight with laundry powder, then rise them thouroughly at least 2 to 3 times with clean water until all excess dye is gone, then dry them out on the line. After this process they are usually fine to go through the main wash with everything else in they need washing again in the future.
