Garment Care Instructions for Long-Lasting Prints

To keep your custom apparel looking vibrant and feeling great:

✅ Wash with Care

• Turn garment inside out before washing

• Machine wash cold (max 86°F / 30°C)

• Use mild detergent - no bleach or fabric softeners

✅ Dry Gently

• Tumble dry low or hang dry

• Avoid high heat - it can shrink fabric and damage prints

✅ Ironing Tips

• If ironing is needed, turn garment inside out

• Do not iron directly on the printed area

🚫 Avoid

• Dry cleaning

• Harsh detergents or stain removers on the print

• Soaking for extended periods

Following these steps helps your custom piece stay bold and beautiful - just like you!

How to Care for Decorated Apparel

First and foremost, Follow the Label.

For instance, the garment may say, “Do not iron.” Often, it’s because the fabric is heat-sensitive. Given that, recommending washing in cold water is a safe bet.

When garments are in the wash, they rub up against one another. By keeping the item turned inside out, you’ll reduce the abrasion factor.

Hanging dry is always best, but let’s face it…real life often doesn’t allow for that.

If you must use a dryer, do so on a low tumble dry. It might take a little longer, but it will help preserve the garment's integrity and the transfer.

Don’t Dry Clean

Dry clean. It sounds so gentle, doesn’t it? Don’t get fooled! Dry cleaning solvents will break down the adhesives in both heat transfers and heat transfer types of vinyl.

Don’t Use Fabric Softeners

Fabric softeners are going to dull your shine! They create a cloudy film on the surface of heat transfer ink (which is what most of our transfers are made of). Yikes.

Add to that the fact that it takes away one of the significant benefits of cotton materials – absorbency. This is why it’s often recommended that you don’t use fabric softener on your towels (or if you do, do so infrequently).

Don’t Use Oxy

Many people don’t realize that solidified hydrogen peroxide is the primary ingredient in oxygenated laundry products. While it’s incredibly effective at removing stains and even killing some germs, have you ever spilled hydrogen peroxide on your clothes? Just like bleach, it can remove pigment. That’s precisely the effect it will have on a decorated garment.

Don’t Iron Over Transfers or Decals

This one is straightforward.

If it’s necessary to get wrinkles out, it’s time to go old school.

The garment can be hung in a bathroom with the shower running to steam the wrinkles out. Alternatively, you can use a garment steamer to move quickly across the garment and not hover too long over the decorated areas. Lastly, as a last resort, throw it in the dryer with a damp washcloth (if the item can be put in a dryer, of course) for a few minutes.
