Our designs are printed with DTG (Direct-to-Garment) water-based inks that bond to the cotton fibers for a soft, breathable print.

First unboxing

• A faint pre-treatment smell or light boxy marks are normal with DTG. They disappear after the first wash.
• Check sizing before washing; unworn items are easier to assess if there’s an issue.

Wash & dry

• Turn inside-out to reduce friction on the print.
• Cold (30 °C / 86 °F), gentle cycle.
• Use mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, oxygen whiteners on prints, and fabric softener (softeners coat fibers and can dull prints).
• Air-dry flat or on a hanger. If you tumble, use low heat.
• Do not dry clean.

Ironing & steaming

• If needed, iron inside-out on low.
• Never iron directly on printed areas. Place a pressing cloth between iron and fabric or avoid the print zone entirely.
• Steam is fine off-garment; avoid direct steam jets on prints.

Longevity tips

• Wash with similar colors.
• Mesh bag helps reduce abrasion for delicate fabrics.
• Avoid overfilling the machine (prints rub more when crowded).
• Expect natural cotton shrinkage up to ~5%; size up for an oversized fit.

Troubleshooting

• Faint “box” or sheen after wash 1? That’s pretreat—wash once more, air-dry.
• Cracking after high-heat drying or ironing over print? Heat damage is irreversible—keep temps low.
• Lint/pilling? Use a fabric shaver lightly; avoid harsh lint rollers on prints.

Please note: Care-related damage (high heat, softeners, ironing on print) isn’t considered a product defect. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights.
