Make sure that the t-shirt is lying flat, and it is not crumpled or wrinkled. This will help to ensure that you can spray as much of the t-shirt as possible.
Spray your shirt in a random pattern rather than trying to make a design. This will help to give your acid washed t-shirt it’s signature grungy look.
If you like, you can also spray the shirt again after 10 minutes, and then wait 10 more minutes to rinse and wash. This will give your acid washed t-shirt some dimension.
If you want to rinse it again, don’t use the same water because this water will now be full of bleach it dipping it into the same water again may ruin your design.
Do not hang the shirt over any areas that might get damaged by the bleach. Make sure to hang it up somewhere that it will be okay for it to drip.
You can do this multiple times to get more dimension. Try sprinkling some bleach on, waiting 10 minutes, and then sprinkling bleach on again before rinsing and washing the shirt.
Also, make sure to put down some old newspaper or paper towels to protect your floors and other surfaces. If you work outside, then you will not have to worry about getting bleach on the ground.
You may even consider working outside since it is well ventilated.
Stick with bold and dark colors, such as black, blue, red, purple, orange, green, etc. Steer clear of lighter shades and pastels, such as lavender, powder blue, light pink, cream, and light gray.
