Care Instructions

Washing Instructions
  • Turn Inside Out: Always flip the garment inside out before washing to protect the print from friction against other clothes and the machine drum.
  • Use Cold Water: Wash in cold or lukewarm water (ideally below 30°C / 86°F). High heat can soften the adhesive, leading to peeling or cracking.
  • Mild Detergent Only: Use a mild, pH-neutral liquid detergent.
  • Gentle Cycle: Select a delicate or gentle cycle with a low spin speed (600–800 rpm) to minimize mechanical stress.
  • Items to Avoid:
    • No Bleach: This will cause rapid fading and damage the film's integrity.
    • No Fabric Softeners: These chemicals can leave a residue that weakens the print's adhesion.
    • No Rough Fabrics: Avoid washing with heavy items like denim, towels, or garments with zippers and Velcro that can scratch the design.

Drying Guideline
  • Air Dry is Best: Hang the garment or lay it flat on a drying rack in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV rays can cause the ink pigments to fade significantly faster.
  • Low Heat Tumble Dry: If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting (delicate) and remove the item immediately once dry. Never use high heat.
  • No Dry Cleaning: The harsh chemicals used by professional cleaners will degrade the adhesive layer.

Ironing and Storage
  • Never Iron Directly on Print: Direct heat from a hot iron will melt the ink and ruin the design.
  • Ironing Technique: If necessary, iron the garment inside out on a low heat setting (silk/delicate). Alternatively, place a pressing cloth or parchment paper over the print as a barrier.
  • Proper Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Fold garments gently and avoid heavy stacking, which can cause creases or pressure damage to the print.
