To maintain the vibrant colors and quality of your sublimation printed and dtf and htv printed garments, please follow these simple care instructions:
- Turn Garment Inside Out
Before washing, turn your sublimation, vinyl transfers, or DTF-printed garment inside out to protect the print and reduce friction.
- Cold Water Wash
Wash the garment in cold water (preferably 30°C / 86°F or lower) to prevent the print from fading and to ensure the fabric remains in good condition.
- Gentle Cycle
Use a gentle or delicate cycle to minimize wear and tear on both the fabric and the print.
- Use Mild Detergents
Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they can damage the print. Opt for a mild, non-chlorine detergent.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners
Do not use fabric softeners as they can leave residue on the print, potentially affecting its appearance and durability.
- Do Not Bleach
Do not bleach your garment, as this can cause discoloration or damage to the print.
- Air Dry
For best results, air dry your garment by hanging it or laying it flat. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the high heat may cause the print to crack or peel over time.
- Iron with Caution
If ironing is necessary, always iron the garment inside out. Use a low heat setting and avoid ironing directly over the print. Place a cloth or parchment paper between the print and the iron to protect it.
- Avoid Dry Cleaning
Do not dry clean the garment, as the chemicals used can damage the print and fabric.
- Storage
Store your sublimation, vinyl transfers, or DTF printed garments in a cool, dry place to prevent fading or deterioration of the print. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
By following these care instructions, you can extend the lifespan of your printed garments and keep them looking fresh and vibrant.
