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 the print to fade or crack and may shrink the garment. If you need to use a tumble dryer, choose the lowest heat setting.

WASH INSIDE OUT

Before washing, turn your t-shirts inside out. This helps protect the print from rubbing against other clothes and reduces wear on the fabric, keeping both the garment and print looking fresh for longer.

WASH WITH LIKE COLOURS / MATERIALS

Wash your t-shirts with similar colours and materials to avoid colour transfer and excessive friction. Mixing heavy items like jeans or towels can cause unnecessary abrasion and shorten the life of your print.

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.
