I have tossed a load of tee's in the washer before pressing . . only at the request of the buyer . . of course I did charge them for it, I included it in the setup fee when doing customer work . .. .
the only other time I have washed a load of tee's . . if they should come in with dirt dust on them from the warehouse . . it does happen . . the workers that pull the orders . . I'm sure at times . . they might drop some tee's on the warehouse floors, . . thus the dirt dust on the tee's . .
for single orders,.....naaa, I don't prewash the tee's . .
if i have nothing else to do . . I will prepress the tee's and folder them and put them in rubbermaid tubs . . when an order comes in . . just have to press for moisture and then the transfer . . .
