So, you want to make the most of your printed garments...
Like all precious things, conscious use and appropriate care play a valuable role in the longevity of the item, and custom-printed fabric is no different.
Treat your new threads with love, and they'll love you right back, for a long time (not just a good one)!
Do...
- Cold machine-wash on delicate setting
- Wash inside-out with similar colours
- Hang to air-dry out of direct sunlight
Don't...
- Don't iron over the print (only on the reverse if you must)
- Don't tumble-dry
- Don't dry-clean
- Don't use harsh chemicals like bleach or softeners
All fabric ages over time, that's a given. Exposure to the sun, heat, chemicals, and physical activity all age the garment and the print.
But with the right care, you can ensure an item serves you very well over the course of its lifetime.
