Justice Clothing Washing & Fabric Care Handbook
Justice clothes are crafted for tween energy, tumbling, playground recess, and daily wear. With our proven cold-water laundry protocol, you can keep graphic foils glowing, fleece cloud-soft, and denim crisp through dozens of washes.
How to Wash Every Justice Silhouette
Tailored instructions engineered to preserve high-sparkle foils, fleece loft, and stretch denim recovery.
Graphic Tees, Glitter & Rhinestones
- Prep: Turn 100% inside-out so ink doesn't rub zippers or buttons
- Water Temp: Cold cycle (30°C max); hot water softens foil adhesives
- Dryer: Tumble dry ultra-low or line dry to prevent print micro-cracks
- Ironing: Never touch hot iron directly to front graphic print
Sherpa Jackets & Brushed Fleece Hoodies
- Zip Up: Fully zip main front zipper to avoid snagging plush sherpa
- No Softeners: Avoid liquid softeners that coat fibers in matted silicone
- Wash Cycle: Gentle cycle with mild liquid laundry detergent
- Fluff Trick: Tumble on 'Air Fluff' (no heat) with wool balls to restore volume
Wide-Leg Denim & Cargo Pants
- Color Lock: Wash inside out with dark colors to prevent wash fading
- Hardware Check: Fasten button waistbands and zip flies prior to wash
- Damp Shape: Pull leg seams straight while damp to prevent ankle curl
- Adjuster Tabs: Leave inner elastic waist tabs buttoned in place
Active Biketards, Leggings & Swimwear
- Post-Swim: Rinse in cold tap water immediately to clear pool chlorine
- Zero Bleach: Bleach degrades Spandex elastane fibers instantly
- Drying Method: Lay flat in shade; direct high sun bakes elastic stretch
- Wash Bag: Use a mesh laundry bag for dance leotards and swim ties

Justice Care Tag Symbol Cheat Sheet
Decode the care symbols stamped inside your Justice garments:
| Care Symbol | Standard Meaning | Justice Apparel Rule | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🧺 Wash Tub (30°C / 1 Dot) | Machine Wash Cold | Default for 100% of Justice Tops, Denim & Active | Prevents 100% combed cotton shrinkage and locks in pastel dye vibrancy. |
| 🔺 Triangle with X | Do Not Bleach | Strict rule across all prints, fleeces & swimsuits | Bleach dissolves Spandex stretch and oxidizes rhinestone glue into yellow tint. |
| ⭕ Square with 1 Dot | Tumble Dry Low Heat | Recommended for pajamas, fleece & casual tees | High heat cooks polyester fleece into scratchy texture and cracks screen prints. |
| 🪹 Square with Horizontal Line | Dry Flat in Shade | Biketards, gymnastics leotards & bikinis | Maintains elastic waistband tension and eliminates water droplet sun-bleaching. |
Frequently Asked Care Questions
Clear answers to help you get the longest lifespan out of her favorite pieces.
While low-heat tumble drying is safe, we recommend hanging graphic tees to air dry or tumbling on ultra-low heat for just 10 minutes to remove wrinkles. Air-drying preserves the flexible water-based inks and prevents glitter flakes from shedding into the dryer drum.
Spot cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a damp microfiber cloth is recommended for sequin and holographic backpacks. Do not machine wash backpacks with metallic glitter or rigid laptop dividers, as the machine agitator can crack holographic coatings.
Justice tees are made with pre-washed combed cotton knit, meaning shrinkage is under 3% when washed in cold water and dried on low heat. Avoid high-heat commercial laundromat dryers to keep the length true to size.
