Washing

• Machine Wash: Use a gentle cycle with cold water (up to

86°F/30°C).

• Detergent: Select a mild, non-abrasive detergent.

• Pre-Treatment: Spot-treat stains as soon as possible by applying a

small amount of detergent or stain remover. Gently agitate before

washing.

• Do Not Use Bleach: Bleach may compromise the print quality and

damage the fabric fibers.

Drying

• Air Dry: Whenever possible, hang or lay flat in a well-ventilated area

to maintain print vibrancy and minimize wrinkles.

• Tumble Dry: If you use a machine dryer, select a low-heat setting

and remove it promptly to reduce wrinkling.

Ironing

• Steam when Possible: The safest and easiest way to keep your

display looking great is with a hand steamer. With little effort,

wrinkles will disappear.

Temperature: Use the lowest temperature setting appropriate for

polyester (usually "synthetic" or "low").

• From the Back: Iron on the unprinted side whenever possible.

• Use a Pressing Cloth: If ironing the printed side, place a thin cotton

or muslin cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the

design.

• Minimal Steam: Use steam sparingly to avoid print distortion.

Dry Cleaning

Not Generally Recommended: Most dye-sublimated polyester

products do not require dry cleaning. Confirm that your dry cleaner

can safely handle synthetic fabrics and dye-sublimation prints if

you choose this option.
