1. Wash Inside Out: Always turn the t-shirt inside out to protect the DTF print from friction during washing.

2. Cold Water Wash: Use cold water (30°C or below) to preserve the fabric quality and prevent fading of both the fabric and the print.

3. Use Mild Detergent: Choose a mild, non-bleach detergent that’s safe for colors to protect the fabric and print.

4. Gentle Cycle: Opt for a gentle wash cycle to reduce wear and tear on the fabric and print.

5. Avoid Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners, as they can affect the quality of the print over time.

6. Do Not Bleach: Avoid any form of bleaching, as it may cause discoloration of both the fabric and the print.

7. Avoid High Heat: Air dry is preferable, but if you must use a dryer, tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage the print.

8. Do Not Iron on Print: If ironing is necessary, turn the t-shirt inside out and iron on a low setting, avoiding direct contact with the print.

9. Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can harm both the cotton fabric and the DTF print.

This guide helps ensure the longevity of both the t-shirt and the print design, maintaining its appearance after multiple washes.
