Washing instructions - Dirt&Die
At Dirt&Die we use the latest Digital Textile Printing (DTG) methods to offer a wide range of printable clothing and color options. We use high quality inks that will not fade for a long time provided they are well maintained.
This process requires the application of a pre-treatment (only on colored garments) which can make the garment slightly stiff.
Upon receipt of your order, the first wash will remove this pre-treatment and restore the fluidity of your garment.
Your garment may have a label with washing instructions, but these are for unprinted garments. Please follow our instructions to ensure your garment lasts a long time!
Printed clothing can be machine washed cold, inside out on a delicate cycle with mild detergent and with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only if necessary. Do not use fabric softeners or dry cleaning.
DTG printed garments can be machine dried on a delicate cycle, but line drying is best. As for ironing, iron gently on the reverse side. Do not iron the print.
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid fading and cracking the print, and shrinking the garment, which can occur if you wash or dry at high temperatures.
