How To Wash "TT" Zipups
1. Turn Inside Out
-
Turn the hoodie inside out to protect the embroidery and painted designs from friction during washing.
2. Skip Fabric Softener
-
Avoid fabric softeners as they can affect the paint and the texture of the French terry fabric
3. Air Dry
-
Avoid using a dryer, as heat can damage the paint and distort the embroidery.
-
Lay the hoodie flat on a clean towel or drying rack to air dry. Reshape it to its original form while damp.
4. Avoid Excessive Washing
Wash the hoodie only when necessary to reduce wear and tear on the delicate details.
How To Wash Cargos
1. Wash custom prints in cold water
This is a universal rule for most clothing in general cold is good and heat is bad. Unless the apparel is very dirty or needs to be sanitized there isn’t much of a reason to wash clothing in heat. Hot water isn’t gentle on fabric and in the end will break it down.
2. Avoid using bleach or other harsh detergents
Don’t use bleach or other harsh soaps (like fabric softener) as it can break down your clothing and prints.
3. Do the hokey pokey and turn your clothes inside out
Turning your clothes inside out is a trick any laundry pro will tell you if the item is screen printed or not. This will help the printed area on your t-shirt stay vivid.
4. Turn it Down! Use a Low Heat Setting in the Dryer
Do not, I repeat DO NOT put your custom printed clothing in the dryer at the hottest setting. Dryers are amazing time savers but they are rough on the longevity of clothing. Dryers can be particularly hard on the ink we use to print with.
5. Stay away from the dry cleaner and ironing
As we’ve established, high heat is not good for screen print designs, and dry cleaning and ironing are no exception. Ironing directly on a screen printed design can cause damage to the design.
