Garment Care Advice
WASHING
Turn your t-shirts inside out—a small yet crucial step to avoid scratches and friction and keep the printed area safe.
Wash with cold water—opt for temperatures at or below 30°C (86°F) to be gentle on the print, preventing it from fading or shrinkage.
Delicate cycle—set your machine to a delicate cycle, ideally around 600 rpm to minimise friction.
Soft detergent—use a mild detergent, as harsher detergents can cause the ink to fade or discolour.
Avoid fabric softener and dry cleaning, as it can be too harsh for the ink, degrading the print quality. If you absolutely want to use fabric softener, try and keep it to a minimum.
Avoid bleach—although it’s best not to use bleach, you can opt for a non-chlorine bleach, if necessary.
The best option would be to hang dry them, but with DTG-printed t-shirts, you can also use tumble drying.
If you choose tumble drying, do it on a low heat setting, as over time higher temperatures can dry out the ink, causing it to crack.
