Guide to Taking Care of Custom T-Shirts and Shirts
Caring for your custom t-shirts and shirts ensures their longevity and maintains the vibrancy of their design. Different materials and printing methods require specific care. Here’s a detailed guide on how to take care of custom t-shirts and shirts based on their material and print type:
By Material
Cotton
Washing
Use cold water for washing. Hot water can cause cotton fibers to shrink.
Drying
Tumble dry on low heat or let it air dry. High heat can cause further shrinkage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Ironing
Use medium heat. Always iron inside-out to protect the print.
Poly Cotton (Blend of Polyester and Cotton)
Washing
Cold water is best. Turn the t-shirt or shirt inside out to protect the print.
Drying
Tumble dry on low. For best results, remove from the dryer while still damp and hang to dry. Avoid drying in direct sunlight for extended periods.
Ironing
Use low heat. Iron inside-out.
Dry Fit (Usually made of synthetic fibers like polyester)
Washing
Use cold water. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the material's wicking capabilities.
Drying
Air dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid direct sunlight as it can fade the color.
Ironing
Not recommended. If necessary, use the lowest setting and avoid the printed area.
By Print Type
Screen Printing
Washing
Turn the t-shirt or shirt inside out and use cold water. Avoid bleach and heavy-duty detergents.
Drying
Tumble dry on low. High heat can cause the design to crack. Avoid drying in direct sunlight.
Ironing

Direct-to-Garment (DTG)
Washing
Use cold water and mild detergents. Turn the t-shirt or shirt inside out before washing.

Iron inside-out on a low setting. Avoid the printed area.
Direct-to-Film (DTF)
Washing
Cold water is best. Turn the t-shirt or shirt inside out.
Drying
Tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight.
Ironing
Iron inside-out. Do not iron directly over the design.
Embroidery
Washing
Use cold water. Turn the t-shirt or shirt inside out to protect the embroidered design.
Drying
Lay flat to dry. This helps maintain the shape of the embroidery. Avoid direct sunlight for long durations.
Ironing
Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the embroidery. Iron on low to medium heat.
General Tips
Storing
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hangers for embroidered t-shirts and shirts as they can distort the design.
Avoid Chlorine
Chlorine bleach can weaken fibers and cause colors to fade.
Spot Cleaning
If you spill something on your t-shirt or shirt, spot clean immediately to prevent stains.
Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure
Extended exposure to direct sunlight can fade the colours of your t-shirt or shirt. Dry in the shade or indoors when possible.
