Custom clothing is an investment, especially when created by DreamStitch’s unique AI-generated design process. To keep your custom hoodies baby tees, graphic top, and all other products staying fresh, vibrant, and high-quality, here’s everything you need to know.
1. Turn Clothing Inside Out Before Washing
Doing this will protect your prints from rubbing against other clothes, zippers, or buttons in the wash. It also reduces color fading and keeps the design looking new.
2. Use Cold Water & a Gentle Cycle
Using hot water can weaken the printing and cause premature cracking. Cold water will help preserve the color, fabric and print longevity.
3. Avoid Harsh Detergents
Use wild, dye-free detergents, and avoid bleach, fabric softners, and strong stain removers. These can break down ink and damage the prints.
4. Air Dry if Possible
Using a dryer cycle with heat is the biggest cause of cracking and peeling in printed designs. Hang-drying preserves shapes, prevents shrinking, and keeps prints smooth.
5. Never Iron Directly on Printed Design
If you need to iron a product from DreamStitch, turn the garment inside out or place a thin cloth over the design. Using direct heat can warp the print, ruining the item.
