Care Instructions For EMBROIDERY

Here are detailed care instructions for clothing decorated with Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV):

                                                                         Washing Instructions:

• 1. Turn Inside Out: Before washing, turn the garment inside out. This protects the HTV design from abrasion against other clothing items and reduces friction during the washing cycle.
• 
  
• 2. Use Cold Water: Wash HTV clothing in cold water. Hot water can potentially weaken the adhesive bond between the vinyl and the fabric, leading to premature peeling or lifting of the design.
• 
  
• 3. Gentle Cycle: Select a gentle cycle on your washing machine. This minimizes the mechanical stress on the vinyl and fabric, helping to maintain the integrity of the design.
• 
  
• 4. Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent that is gentle on fabrics. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the vinyl and cause colors to fade prematurely.

                                                                          Drying Instructions:

• 1. Air Dry or Low Heat: Air-drying HTV clothing is preferable to prolong the lifespan of the vinyl design. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting. High heat can cause the vinyl to melt or peel off over time.

• 2. Avoid Ironing Directly: Do not iron directly on the HTV design. The heat from the iron can damage the vinyl. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and use a pressing cloth over the design.

                                                                               Additional Tips:

• 1. Storage: Store HTV clothing folded or hung in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or humid environments, as this can weaken the adhesive bond of the vinyl.

• 2. Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can leave a residue that may interfere with the adhesive bond of the HTV. It's best to avoid using them on garments with vinyl designs.

• 3. Inspect Before Washing: Before washing, check the HTV design for any loose edges or areas that may need reinforcement. Repair any loose edges promptly to prevent further peeling.

By following these detailed care instructions, you can extend the life of your HTV clothing and keep the vinyl designs looking vibrant and intact for longer periods. Proper care ensures that your personalized garments continue to showcase their unique designs and withstand regular wear and washing.
