Care instructions
Here are our care instructions for our printed textiles:
Natural fibers such as cotton or linen that have been finished with our modern direct-to-garment printing technology require special care to maintain their quality and color intensity. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure that your printed items stay beautiful for a long time:
-
Washing: Machine washable in cold water inside out. Use a mild detergent and select a gentle cycle. Separate dark and light colors to minimize fading. Avoid using non-chlorine bleach unless absolutely necessary.
-
Drying : Choose a low drying cycle to maintain the integrity of the print, however air drying on the clothesline is recommended to minimize the risk of shrinkage and color loss.
-
Ironing : Turn the printed garment inside out before ironing. Avoid direct contact of the iron with the print to avoid damage.
-
Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners : Chemical cleaning agents can affect the print, so they are not recommended. Likewise, fabric softeners should not be used as they can reduce the color intensity.
By following these simple care guidelines, you can ensure that your DTG printed items stay fresh and vibrant for a long time.
Here are the revised care instructions for embroidered clothing:
-
Washing : Embroidered clothing can be machine washed cold, preferably inside out and with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and select a low cycle. A small amount of chlorine bleach can be used, but bleach-free alternatives are preferable.
-
Stain removal : If there is any color residue in the water, rinse the item several times in lukewarm water and then in cold water. Avoid rubbing embroidered areas to remove stains.
-
Dry Cleaning : Embroidered clothing can also be dry cleaned to preserve the integrity of the embroidery.
-
Drying : Do not let clothes soak or lie in wet piles after washing. Avoid wringing embroidered items. If you choose to tumble dry, use a cold air setting.
-
Ironing : Turn embroidered items inside out before ironing and ideally place a cloth between the iron and the embroidery. Avoid wetting the items before ironing or using a steam iron.
By following these instructions, you can ensure that your embroidered clothing retains its beauty and quality for a long time.
