Wash and dry garments inside out. By turning the denim jackets, shirts, pillowcases, etc inside out, you’re giving the vinyl a layer of protection during the wash. While washing and drying clothes, they’re rubbing up against each other and that abrasion during washing can cause your vinyl to peel prematurely.
Choose cold or warm water temperature settings for the wash. High temperatures can weaken the adhesive on the vinyl which can cause the vinyl to peel or crack.
Use mild detergent. You should also avoid bleach and fabric softeners in order to make the vinyl last as long as possible.
Dry on a low/tumble setting or hang dry. Just like when washing, you won’t want to dry your clothes on high heat. If you stick with tumble dry or low heat, you should be good to go. If possible, you can hang dry your garments for best results.
Do not iron directly on a heat transfer design. The high heat on the vinyl will melt the vinyl and or burn the adhesive.
