CARE & MAINTENANCE
Turn Inside Out: Always turn the garment inside out before washing. This protects the print from friction against other clothes or the washing machine drum.
Cold Water Only: Wash in cold water. High heat can cause the print to crack or fade and may shrink the fabric.
Use Mild Detergent: Stick to mild or eco-friendly detergents [10]. Avoid bleach and harsh fabric softeners, as they can break down the inks and leave a residue that dulls the design.
Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle or normal cycle and avoid overloading the machine to reduce unnecessary agitation.
Air Dry is Best: Hanging your garments to dry is the safest way to prevent shrinkage and print damage. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade both the fabric and the print; dry them in the shade instead.
Tumble Dry on Low: If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting. High heat is the primary cause of print "peeling" or cracking over time.
Never Iron the Print: Direct heat from an iron will melt or ruin the design. If ironing is necessary, turn the shirt inside out and use a low heat setting, or place a thin cloth over the design for protection.
SHIPPING & RETURNS
