You’ve got your new products and we hope you’re super happy with the finish. Here’s our recommended wash settings to prolong the life of your printed apparel.
WASH ON 30, REDUCED CYCLE
We recommend washing at 30 degrees (lower if possible). Heat can cause fading & shrinkage of the garment & will degrade the print faster. Spinning your garments at 1400 rpm & long washes (over 1 hour) will eventually take its toll on your garments. Try & keep the revolutions down, & washes short. Treat your garments nicely & save some electricity.
HANG DRY (OR IF YOU MUST, TUMBLE DRY LOW)
Tumble dryers can cook garments & cause fading, shrinkage & degrade the print. We recommend hang drying your garments, but if you need to use a tumble dryer make sure to keep the temperature low.
WASH INSIDE OUT
Flipping your clothing inside out will add a layer of protection & will prevent other garments in the same load rubbing against the print.
WASH WITH LIKE COLOURS / MATERIALS
Don’t wash your nice white t-shirt with a black hoodie, that’s a sure way to get a grey, bobbly t-shirt. Same applies to heavier fabric like towels, denim, clothing with zips, buttons etc, these can rub excessively & damage the print.
DO NOT BLEACH
Using harsh detergents or bleach on your garments will fade the garment & is a sure way to mess up your prints. We recommend using a mild detergent. If you have a stain you need to remove, use a product you can apply directly to the stained area before washing.
DO NOT IRON OVER THE PRINT
Ironing over prints is not a good idea. High heat can cause damage to the print.
By following these guidelines you should be able to enjoy your custom garments for years to come.
