Apparel Care

With mindfulness and a gentle touch in both washing and drying, your graphic tees can serve you faithfully for years to come. Remember, by nurturing them with the right techniques, even the most delicate prints will retain their vitality. So treat your beloved tees with the love and respect they deserve - and they'll thank you by remaining bright, bold, and vibrant for many years to come.

How to Machine Wash:

  1. Turn your pressed shirt inside-out before washing.

  2. Separate similar colors, weight, and textures. Make sure to not overfill the washer.

  3. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach with cold water on a gentle cycle.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after pressing to wash your DTF garments to ensure the transfer is completely adhered to the material and the adhesive is fully cured and locked in. This will ensure that it is durable in the long term.

Warm water, harsh detergents, and aggressive wash cycles can damage both the garment and the transfer itself.

How to Dry:

We recommend hang-drying on a plastic hanger, but a drier works fine if you follow the steps below.

  1. Turn your pressed shirts inside-out before drying.

  2. Separate similar colors, weight, and textures.

  3. Use the lowest possible heat setting or Permanent Press.

Removing Wrinkles

To finish off freshly washed tees, you'll need to smooth out any wrinkles. Carefully ironing or steaming can restore a wrinkle-free look without damaging designs:

  • Ironing: Turn the tee inside out and use the coolest appropriate setting for the fabric. Place a cloth between the iron and design. Iron until wrinkles release.

  • Steaming: Hang the tee inside out and use the lowest temperature setting. Avoid directly steaming printed areas--work around them instead.

Our logos have been rigorously tested and verified by a third party to ensure long-lasting durability. After undergoing 100 machine wash cycles (80°F, normal cycle, line dry) on a 100% cotton shirt, the transfers were evaluated for color retention, peeling, cracking, and overall integrity. The results were overwhelmingly positive, with a "Satisfactory" grade across all criteria, including negligible hand-feel change and no significant signs of delamination or print detachment.
