Care Instructions: Save Clothes, Save Earth
Screen Printing
- Washing your screen-printed garments at 30 degrees or less will save your clothes longer. Because when the clothes are spun at 1400 rpm or long washes it hurts the garment’s newness and color.
- Avoid ironing over the prints to prevent damage due to high heat.
- If you start using harsh detergents on your nice t-shirts, it won’t result in a way you’d like to see. To prevent that scenario, use a mild detergent to wash your clothes and save them for longer. And don’t use bleach while washing your clothes.
- When you wash your clothes with warm water, the ink on the clothes gets heated up and starts to lose grip and weaken easily. So, you should use cold water to wash your screen-printed clothes.
- Wash your embroidered clothes by flipping them inside out.
Embroidery
- Before washing the embroidered clothes, don’t forget to undo all the buttons and close all the zips on the garments.
- Dry cleaning your embroidered clothes can affect its threads and mess up your new clothes.
- The best way to dry your embroidered clothes by lying them on the surface or hanging them on a clothes rack will be fine.
- Embroidered clothes should ironed inside out on the reverse. Otherwise, ironing the embroidered clothes like printed ones can damage the thread.
- The ideal way to store these clothes is to hang them in a wardrobe. But if you have to fold and store them in a drawer, flip them inside out and then fold them.
Heat Pressed Venyl
- After the HTV pressing, you can’t wash the clothes any way until 24 hours have passed. Washing instantly after the HTV pressing will cause the HTV to stretch or move around which can damage the whole thing.
- Never use any bleach or even fabric softener on the heat-pressed garments.
- You can’t iron directly on the vinyl because it will damage the whole piece of clothing.
- When you have a bigger design, you need double extra care for your clothes because heat-pressed vinyl usually needs more care than other clothes.
