Washing:

• Turn Inside Out: Before washing, always turn the shirt inside out to protect the DTF print from rubbing against other clothes and potential abrasion. 
• Cold Water: Wash DTF shirts in cold water to prevent shrinkage and fading of the print. 
• Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle or delicate wash cycle to minimize stress on the fabric and print. 
• Mild Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent to avoid damaging the print or fabric. 
• Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can interfere with the adhesive used in DTF printing, potentially causing the print to peel or crack. 
• Avoid Bleach: Bleach can damage the print and cause it to fade, so avoid using it on DTF shirts. 
• Separate Colors: Wash DTF shirts with similar colors to prevent color bleeding. 

Drying:

• Air Dry: Air drying is the best way to preserve the print and fabric, as high heat can damage the print and cause it to crack or peel.
• Low Heat Dryer: If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting possible.
• Avoid High Heat: Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fabric and the print. 

Ironing:

• Avoid Ironing Directly:If you need to iron, avoid ironing directly on the DTF print, as this can damage the print and cause it to crack or peel.
• Iron on Reverse:If you must iron, iron on the reverse side of the shirt to protect the print.
• Use Steam:If possible, use a steam iron to help smooth out wrinkles without damaging the print.
