WASH AT LOW TEMPERATURES (30°C OR LOWER):
Wash your printed t-shirts at 30°C or lower to prevent prints from fading or deteriorating over time. Cooler washes also help protect the fabric from shrinking, bobbling, or fading.
HANG DRY (OR IF YOU MUST, TUMBLE DRY LOW)
The best way to dry printed t-shirts is to hang them up to air dry. High heat from tumble drying can cause prints to fade or crack over time and may also shrink the garment. If you must tumble dry, use the lowest heat setting.
WASH INSIDE OUT
Before washing, turn your t-shirts inside out. This protects the print from rubbing against other clothes and helps keep it looking fresher for longer. It also reduces wear on the garment itself, keeping it smoother and less prone to pilling.
WASH WITH LIKE COLOURS / MATERIALS
Before washing, we recommend turning your t-shirts inside out. This helps protect the print from rubbing against other clothes and keeps it looking fresh for longer. It also reduces wear on the garment itself, preventing pilling and surface damage.
USE MILD DETERGENTS AND AVOID BLEACH
Use a mild detergent to clean your printed shirts. Harsh chemicals, such as bleach, can cause colours to fade and may weaken both the print and fabric. For stains, apply a gentle stain remover to the affected area before washing.
DO NOT IRON OVER THE PRINT
Avoid ironing directly over the printed area. If needed, turn the shirt inside out or place a cloth over the print and use a low heat setting to prevent damage.
