Suggestions To Prolong the Life of Your Vinyl Images

• Do not dry clean. Vinyl images should never be dry cleaned. The harsh temperature and chemicals that are used during dry clean do not mix well with Heat Transfer Vinyl.

• Wash and dry garments inside out. By turning the shirts, out, you’re giving the vinyl a layer of protection during the wash. While washing and drying clothes, they’re rubbing up against each other and that abrasion during washing can cause your vinyl to peel prematurely.

• Choose cold or warm water temperature settings for the wash.

• Use mild detergent. Detergents that are “green” can be too harsh for the adhesive on the image. You should also avoid bleach and fabric softeners in order to make the vinyl last as long as possible.

• Dry on a low/tumble setting or hang dry. If possible, you can hang dry your garment for the best results. Hang drying will minimize any wrinkles you see in the image after washing.

• Do not iron directly on the design images.
