How to Care for Your Graphic Apparel

WASHING

  • Turn your garment inside out before washing to help protect the printed design.

  • Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.

  • Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors.

  • Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

DRYING

  • Hang drying is highly recommended to help extend the life of your graphic.

  • If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat.

  • Avoid high heat, which can damage the printed design over time.

IRONING

  • If ironing is necessary, turn your garment inside out.

  • Use the lowest heat setting appropriate for the fabric.

  • Never iron directly over the printed design.

WHAT TO AVOID

  • Do not use chlorine bleach.

  • Do not use fabric softeners.

  • Do not dry clean.

  • Avoid excessive heat when washing, drying, or ironing.
