Care
- Garment
- Machine wash warm inside out, tumble dry medium. Don't iron over the print.
Caring for the decoration
- Wash inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Heat is what cracks a print.
- Tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip the high-heat setting.
- No fabric softener or bleach on printed areas. Softener builds up on the ink and dulls it.
- Don’t iron directly on a print or on embroidery. Press from the inside, or put a cloth over it.
