Helpful answers
Care questions
Can I put my printed garment in the dryer?
We recommend line drying instead. The high heat and repeated tumbling can affect the print and may shrink or distort the garment.
Can I iron my T-shirt?
Yes, if the garment label allows it. Turn the garment inside out, use a low setting and never place the iron directly onto the printed design.
Can I use stain remover?
Avoid applying strong stain removers directly to the print. Test a mild product on an unseen area first and follow the garment label.
Why should I wash the garment inside out?
Washing inside out reduces friction between the printed design, other garments and the washing machine drum, helping preserve the print finish.
What should I do if I have a problem with my print?
Please stop wearing or washing the item and contact us with your order number and clear photos so we can help.
Correct care helps extend the life of your garment and print. Normal wear and repeated laundering will gradually affect all printed clothing over time.
