High-Quality Embroidery Deserves Gentle Care. Follow These Tips to Keep Your Custom Gear Looking Fresh.
A great piece of embroidered clothing can last for years. To maintain the 3D texture and vibrant colors while preventing snags or fading, check out this professional care guide.
-
Turn Inside Out & Bag It
Before washing, always turn the garment inside out. This reduces friction between the embroidery and the machine drum or other clothes. We highly recommend using a mesh laundry bag—it’s the best defense against snags.
-
Go Gentle on the Cycle
Stick to cold water or warm water below 30°C (86°F) and select the "Gentle" or "Wool" cycle. Avoid heavy spin cycles, as intense force can warp the fabric or loosen the threads.
-
Skip the Bleach & High Heat
Never use bleach; it will fade your threads instantly. After washing, lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Try to avoid high-heat dryer settings, as extreme heat can damage the thread fibers and kill the shine.
-
Ironing Like a Pro
If you need to iron, turn the garment inside out and place a thin cloth over the embroidered area. Never press the iron directly onto the stitches, or you’ll flatten that beautiful 3D texture.
