In order to preserve the design on your tshirt print, we recommend the following product care guidelines
- DO NOT DRYCLEAN.
- Always turn your t-shirt inside out before washing. This reduces the wear-and-tear of the teeshirt printed design and preserves it longer.
- Wash similar coloured clothes together. This is to prevent colour leeching from dark coloured clothes to light coloured clothes.
- Wash in cold (30 Degrees Celsius or below) water, either machine wash or by hand. Using hot water might cause printed designs to leech colours.
- DO NOT BLEACH, avoid using softeners. Bleach can cause colours to run, and softeners may affect vinyl designs print on the teeshirt.
- Avoid using hot dryers. The high level of heat may cause shrinkage of garments and may affect vinyl designs.
- When possible, dry your tee shirt under the shade with minimal direct contact with sunlight as prolonged exposure to UV rays will cause colours to fade.
- Iron on low, and always iron the shirt turned inside out so as not to iron directly on print.
