Turning the garment inside out reduces surface friction and protects the print from rubbing against other fabrics. Air drying is always the safest option, particularly for full color prints.
Here are the best care practices for washing printed tshirts Vancouver:
- Use cold water and gentle wash cycles

Heat is the main reason prints fade or crack over time. Using a dryer can weaken adhesives used in DTF or soften pretreatments used in DTG. Harsh detergents also harm printed areas, especially when washing dark garments. Using mild detergent helps maintain print brightness.
