Top Tips for Washing DTF Printed Clothing

1. Wash Inside Out

Turning your garments inside out protects the printed area from direct friction with other items in the wash. This helps preserve the vibrancy of the design and prevents abrasion.

2. Use Cold or Warm Water (30°C Max)

Stick to a gentle wash cycle at low temperatures. Excessive heat can weaken the adhesive used in DTF transfers, so avoid hot washes.

3. Use Mild Detergents

Harsh chemicals or bleach-based detergents can damage both fabric and print. Choose a non-abrasive, colour-safe detergent to keep everything in top condition.

4. Avoid Fabric Softeners

While fabric softeners can be great for regular clothes, they can affect the bond between the print and fabric. Skip them for DTF printed garments.

5. Air Dry Where Possible

Tumble dryers generate high heat, which can break down the print’s adhesive. Hang your garments to dry naturally, out of direct sunlight, for best results
