Wash in cold water and hang dry. No bleach and no excessive wringing!
The high heat in driers can cause much more damage to heat applied graphics than washing. To prevent heat damage to appliques, follow these tips:
● To protect the image from abrasion as garments rub against each other, turn it inside out.
● Tumble dry on the low temperature setting to get the dampness out.
● Don’t overdry your clothes. Remove clothes from the dryer while they are slightly damp. Put clothes on hangers for final drying.
Ironing Garments with Heat Transfer Vinyl:
When ironing a garment decorated with a heat transfer vinyl or polyurethane graphic, turn the garment inside out or cover the graphic with cotton cloth. If a hot iron touches the heat transfer vinyl or polyurethane film, it will melt the film, ruining the graphics!
