Acid Washed Tees

1. This isn’t truly “acid” washed; just laundry bleach. Acid sounds cooler though, right?
2.  Don’t dilute the bleach. Pour it into a spray bottle and label the bottle so no one mistakes it for water.
3. Do wear Goggles, gloves, working in a ventilated area (open a door or window), and taking a break periodically for a breath of fresh air in the other room. The fumes are strong and can make your eyes burn a bit without goggles.
4. Do NOT wet the fabric before spraying (tried it). This will dilute the bleach and spread it too evenly, rather than making it blotchy.
5. Vary your sprays with the spray bottle lid—from wide sprays to small direct sprays.
6. Don’t over-bleach or the shirt will simply look like a new color, rather than textured looking.
7. It takes about a minute for the color to pull up.
