INKMYWEAR / CARE
Wear it. Care for it. Wear it again.
The care label is always the first place to start.
Different garments and personalised areas can have different requirements, so product-specific guidance should always take priority.
Simple care principles
Start with the garment. Then protect the personalised area.
Good personalised clothing care begins with the instructions supplied for the product. A few simple habits can also help reduce unnecessary stress on both the fabric and the printed area.
Reduce direct friction
Turning suitable garments inside out before washing can help reduce direct rubbing against the personalised surface.
Be careful with heat
Avoid applying direct high heat to a personalised area and always follow the garment instructions.
IN / OUT
A simple step before the wash begins.
Why turn clothing inside out?
Less direct contact can help protect the personalised surface.
Where appropriate for the garment, turning personalised clothing inside out can reduce direct rubbing and contact against the printed area during washing. The care label should still remain your primary instruction.
