Fabric softener Can reduce durability over time.
Drying
Hang dry (best) Maximum print lifespan.
Tumble low Only when needed.
High heat Causes cracking / glossing.
Over-drying Extra heat time = faster breakdown.
Ironing & Heat

FAQs
Will the print feel softer over time?
Yes — slight softening is normal as the garment breaks in. Color and adhesion remain strong when washed cold and dried low/air.
What causes cracking or peeling?
Almost always heat + harsh chemicals: hot wash, high dryer heat, ironing directly on the print, bleach, or softeners.
Can I use stain remover?
Yes, but don’t apply it directly onto the print. Treat the fabric area, and avoid harsh solvents near the image.
Does commercial laundering affect DTF?
Yes. Industrial heat cycles and chemicals reduce print lifespan faster than home care.
