Garment care instructions for your new garments from Liberty and Steel. Heck, ALL your garments might be better off if you know these tips!

Your custom-printed garments are made to last, but a little extra love in the laundry room can go a long way. Imagine this: you’ve just pulled on your favorite t-shirt, the one with that bold, vibrant design you fell in love with. Months later, it still looks as fresh as the day you got it—all because you took a few simple steps to care for it.

First, always wash your garments inside out. This small act protects the design from the harsh agitation of the machine, keeping it looking great. Cold water is your best friend, too. It’s gentler on the fabric and the print, so you won’t end up with fading or cracking.

Garment Care Customer Experiences

We once had a customer tell us they accidentally tossed their favorite screen-printed hoodie into a hot wash with a load of towels. The result? A dull, cracked design that broke their heart. Ever since, they’ve sworn by cold washes and delicate cycles.

When it comes to drying, think low and slow. High heat can weaken adhesives in heat transfer vinyl or cause direct-to-garment prints to fade. If you have time, air drying is even better. One customer shared how they turned a drying mishap into a win—they hung their favorite DTG t-shirt to dry and discovered it smelled fresher and lasted longer than ever before.

And about ironing—be careful. Pressing a hot iron directly onto the design is a surefire way to ruin it. Always iron inside out, or better yet, avoid the print area altogether.

Taking these small steps will keep your custom garments looking their best, so you can enjoy them for years to come. If you ever need tips or advice, we’re here to help!
