Garment Care
Caring For Your Custom Sportswear
Screen Printed Garment:
Be sure to read the garment tag carefully for detailed information about the materials used and the specific laundering instructions. This ensures you follow the best care practices for your garment.
Always launder your garment inside out. This simple step is essential for protecting the screen printing from damage and wear, helping to keep the design looking fresh.
NEVER use fabric softener on your screen-printed garments. Fabric softener can significantly damage the ink, leading to its deterioration and a shorter lifespan for your design.
Do not use any form of BLEACH, including those that are marketed as safe for colors. Even these can harm the fabric and disrupt the integrity of the screen print.
Embroidered Garment:
Read the garment tag for information on the materials used and the laundering instructions
Launder your garment inside out – to protect the embroidery.
Do not use BLEACH of ANY kind. Not even the bleach that is supposedly safe for colors.
Bleach may dull or even remove the color from the embroidery thread.
Do not try to remove the white stabilizer material on the inside of your garment.
It must remain in place or your embroidery will unravel.
Cotton Garments:
Most sportswear is manufactured from 50% to 100% Cotton.
DO NOT over dry garments containing cotton. Cotton WILL shrink when exposed to heat.
We recommend that you launder your garment using the instructions on the tag – keeping in mind our instructions above. Then dry the garment (if appropriate) on LOW for 10 minutes – just to wring out the bulk of the moisture.
Hang your garment until dry.
