Direct heat from an iron can melt, warp, or permanently damage screen-printed or heat-transfer designs. If you need to remove wrinkles, turn the garment inside out and use a low, cool setting, or steam instead.

Bleach breaks down fabric fibers and can cause discoloration, weakening, or fading of both the garment and the printed design. Stick to a gentle, color-safe detergent to keep colors vibrant and the fabric strong.

High heat from a dryer can cause shrinkage, fabric damage, and can crack or peel printed designs over time. Air drying or using a low/no-heat tumble setting will help your garment and print last much longer.
