Wash at 30°

Wash inside out

Do not bleach

Wash with similar colours

Wash with similar textured garments

To avoid excess friction, do not overload washing machine

Do not leave in a wet environment

Do not dry clean. Chemicals used in dry cleaning can damage the print on your garment

Never iron over the imprint

Iron on the reverse side using the lowest heat setting

For best results wash before use

 Please Note: Embroidery ring marks are a normal part of production. Whilst we endeavour to remove them, please note they come out in the first wash

We expect the customisation to last the lifetime of the garment if this wash care guide is adhered to.

If you need to wash your garments at higher temperatures or require hardwearing items, we recommend embroidery rather than print as embroidery can sustain higher temperatures and friction. Always read the label and other garment wash care instructions.
