Clothing Care

Do not dry clean. Your shirts should never be dry cleaned. The harsh temperatures and chemicals used during dry cleaning do not mix well with HTV, DTF, or Sublimation.

Wash and dry garments inside out. By turning the shirts inside out, you’re giving the Design a layer of protection during the wash. While washing and drying clothes, they’re rubbing up against each other, and that abrasion during washing can cause your design to peel or fade prematurely.

Choose cold or warm water temperature settings for the wash. When washing your shirts, you don’t want your water temperature to exceed 178 degrees Fahrenheit. High temperatures can weaken the adhesive on the design, which can cause the image to peel or crack.

Use mild detergent. Detergents that are “green” can be too harsh for the adhesive on your shirts. You should also avoid bleach and fabric softeners in order to make the design last as long as possible.

Dry on a low/tumble setting or hang dry. Just like when washing, you won’t want to dry your shirts on high heat. If you stick with tumble dry or low heat, you should be good to go. If possible, you can hang dry your shirts for the best results. Hang drying will minimize any wrinkles and is especially recommended for sublimated designs.

Do not iron directly on a heat transfer design. Any type of high heat on the vinyl will melt the vinyl and or burn the adhesive. Regardless, ironing directly on vinyl is a great way to ruin a shirt. If you must iron the shirt, make sure to use low heat and place a dish towel or cloth over the transfer.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure to follow all washing instructions. This is incredibly important, especially when it comes to washing your DTF designs.  If you don’t follow all washing instructions, your shirt will fade more than what’s expected. I do not process refunds or offer replacements for any fading issues that you may have after washing your DTF designs. As stated previously, if you have an issue with your shirt before washing, then please reach out to me within 24 hours of receiving your order.
