If you have applied an HTV design to your shirt, you would want to take care of it so that it lasts longer, allowing you to showcase your unique and exquisite workmanship to everyone. In this blog, we present some simple and easy care instructions for HTV-decorated garments that you must follow to preserve their appearance.

Seven Care Instructions For Your Heat Transfer Vinyl Shirts

Regular maintenance of an HTV-designed shirt is important as it helps prevent premature fading, cracking, or peeling of the vinyl. It not only preserves the visual appeal of your shirt but also reflects your investment in quality craftsmanship.

By following the proper care instructions mentioned below, you can ensure that your heat transfer vinyl design remains vibrant and intact for a long time.

1. Don’t Wash Your Pre-pressed Shirt Right Away

Do not wash your shirt right away. Let the vinyl sit for 24-48 hours. This is to allow the adhesive within the vinyl to fully bond with the fabric. It ensures that the design adheres properly and remains durable over time. It also helps prevent the design from peeling, cracking, or lifting prematurely, especially while washing and wearing.

2. Never Dry Clean

Never expose your T-shirts with an HTV design to the dry cleaning process. The chemicals used during it can potentially damage the vinyl. The solvents and heat involved in dry cleaning may cause the adhesive in the HTV to weaken, leading to peeling, cracking, or fading of the design. Also, the agitation and friction during the dry cleaning process can lead to the deterioration of the heat transfer vinyl pattern on your shirt.

3. Flip Shirt Inside Out

It is recommended that you turn your T-shirt inside out every time you wash and dry garments with HTV. This shields the vinyl design from direct contact with the disruptive elements of the washing machine, such as other garments or the machine's interior. It also minimizes friction and abrasion, which can damage the design.

4. Wash Using Cold Or Lukewarm Water

Don’t put shirts with HTV decals in hot water. They should not be exposed to high temperatures exceeding 178°F. Do observe the proper warm water temperature settings. The adhesive capability of the HTV weakens when exposed to harsh temperatures. This can lead to premature lifting of the design destroying your whole effort.

Choose cold water when washing shirts. Cold water is gentler on fabrics and will preserve the vibrancy and integrity of your HTV design. It will not mess with the adhesive of the vinyl as well.
