These quick tips can keep your custom embroidered items in pristine condition!
If you do choose to machine wash, we recommend the following:
•Turn the item inside out to protect the embroidery.
•Try to not wash the item with other clothing that might cause damage, such as zippers or buttons.
• Choose a mild detergent.
• If possible, allow the item to air dry. This will prevent any shrinking that might occur.
• If the embroidery features bright colors, a gentle wash in cold water can reduce the chance of color bleeding.
If you need to iron, avoid steam, and do not place the iron directly onto the embroidered area. Instead, use a pressing cloth over the embroidery or iron on the reverse side.
The most gentle option is to hand wash and allow the item to air dry.
