Personalized products are made to preserve a photo, artwork or message that matters to you. Proper washing and drying can help protect the fabric and printed design.
Always check the product’s attached care label first. If the label provides instructions that differ from this general guide, follow the care label.
How to Wash a Custom Printed T-Shirt
Turn the shirt inside out before washing. This reduces direct friction between the printed surface and other garments.
Use cold water and a gentle machine cycle. Wash with similar colors and use a mild detergent.
Avoid bleach, harsh stain removers and aggressive washing cycles. These products and settings may affect both the fabric color and printed artwork.
Drying a Printed T-Shirt
Air drying is the gentlest option. Hang the shirt in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
If you use a dryer, choose a low-temperature setting. Excessive heat can affect fabric shape and may shorten the life of a printed design.
Do not iron directly over the print. If ironing is necessary, turn the shirt inside out and use a low-temperature setting.
Caring for a Vintage Washed T-Shirt
Vintage washed shirts are designed to have a faded, lived-in appearance. Slight variations in color and texture are part of this style.
Wash the shirt inside out with cold water and similar colors. Avoid bleach and high heat, which may cause unnecessary fading or shrinkage.
How to Wash a Custom Photo Blanket
Machine wash the blanket separately or with similar soft items using cold water and a gentle cycle.
Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric treatments containing harsh chemicals and high-temperature washing.
Dry the blanket on a low setting or allow it to air dry. High heat may affect the softness of the fabric.
Do not iron directly over the printed blanket surface.
Handling Spills and Stains
Treat spills as soon as possible. Gently blot the area instead of rubbing it aggressively.
Before applying a stain treatment, test it on a small, less visible area. Avoid products containing bleach unless the care label specifically permits them.
Store Personalized Products Properly
Make sure the item is completely dry before folding and storing it. Keep it in a clean, dry location away from prolonged direct sunlight.
With gentle washing, low heat and proper storage, your custom T-shirt or photo blanket can continue to display the design that makes it personal.
