The most sensitive point to be considered in the care of printed clothing is the washing process. Washing of printed clothing varies according to the print quality and fabric structure. However, it is possible to mention some general rules. The things to be considered when washing printed clothes are as follows:
- You should not wash it frequently so that the print does not come off and the garment does not wear out.
- If your printed garment is white, you should wash it with white clothes. If it is a different color, you can wash it with similar colored clothes.
- You should choose a washing program in cold or warm water. Because hot water can cause the color to fade.
- During the washing process, you should look at the label of the t-shirt with the washing instructions. If there is no such instruction on the label, you can choose a 30-degree washing program.
- You should make sure that the detergent product you use while washing your garment is compatible.
- If you are going to wash your garment by hand or in the machine, you should turn the printed side inside out.
- After washing, you can dry it in the dryer or hang it as a natural method.

What Should be Done to Prevent the Print of Printed Clothing From Coming Off?
You should pay attention to many factors when using printed clothing. Clothes whose prints come off in a short time can also disturb you in terms of appearance. First of all, you should wash these clothes in the delicate wash program. This program will wash your clothes gently and without damaging them.
If you care about hygiene and use bleach such as bleach on your other clothes, you should not use it on printed clothes. We do not recommend using bleach when washing your printed garments produced with DTF transfer. Because such detergents will completely ruin the color and structure of the garment. If you have time, you can hand wash your printed clothes. Hand washing extends the life of the garment and does not damage the print in any way.
If you don't have time, you can wash it in a delicate 30-degree washing program. After washing your printed garment, you should not dry it in the dryer as much as possible. Because dryers can shorten the life of your garment by giving extra heat. You can use clothing prints produced with the DTF transfer according to these care and washing instructions.
