Handling Printed Goods
Precautions When Washing Printed Goods
Note the following handling precautions for T‐shirts and sweatshirts:
•
Turn garments inside out before washing them.
• When washing T‐shirts and other garments by hand, dissolve some neutral detergent
in lukewarm water of about 30°C (approx. 86°F) and wash them without rubbing the
printed areas. After that, spin them dry for about 1 minute in a washing machine,
smooth wrinkles, and then hang them to dry.
•
Do not rub the printed surfaces. Doing so may cause discoloration due to friction.
• When washing T‐shirts and other garments in a washing machine, turn them inside out
so the printed side is inside and put them in a laundry net. After washing them, shake
out as much water as possible, smooth out wrinkles, and hang them in the shade to dry.
