GARMENTS

Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers are a fantastic way to enjoy vibrant, durable designs on your favourite apparel. To keep these images looking their best, follow these specific care instructions:

General Washing Instructions

• Turn Inside Out: Always turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the DTF transfer from friction and agitation.

• Cold Water Wash: Use cold water to wash your garments. Hot water can damage the transfer and cause colours to fade.

• Mild Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent that is free from bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade the transfer.

• Gentle Cycle: Set your washing machine to a gentle or delicate cycle to minimize stress on the transfer.

Drying Instructions

• Avoid High Heat: Never use high heat settings in the dryer. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent the transfer from cracking or peeling.

• Air Dry Preferred: For the best results, air dry your garment by laying it flat or hanging it up. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the colours.

Ironing Instructions

• Low Heat: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting on your iron.

• Protect the Transfer: Place a piece of parchment paper, a cloth, or a Teflon sheet over the DTF transfer to protect it from direct heat. Do not iron directly on the transfer.

Additional Tips

• Avoid Bleach and Fabric Softeners: Bleach and fabric softeners can damage both the fabric and the DTF transfer. Use mild detergents only.

• Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can damage the DTF transfer. Stick to machine washing or hand washing only.

• Spot Clean When Possible: To reduce the number of washes, spot clean minor stains using a damp cloth and mild detergent.

• Store Properly: When storing your DTF transfer garments, avoid folding them in a way that puts pressure on the transfer. Lay them flat or hang them to keep the transfer smooth and intact.

By following these instructions, you'll ensure that your DTF transferred images remain vibrant and durable, keeping your Broken Wings Apparel looking great wear after wear. Thank you for choosing our brand!

Jean Care

• Wash Infrequently: Jeans don't need to be washed after every wear. Washing every 4-6 wears is ideal to maintain their shape and colour.

• Cold Wash: Always wash jeans in cold water to prevent shrinking and fading.

• Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle or delicate cycle to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

• Inside Out: Turn jeans inside out before washing to protect the outer fabric and maintain colour.

• Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent to keep the denim strong and colour intact.

• Air Dry: Avoid using the dryer. Air dry jeans flat or hang them up to maintain their shape and fit.

Cotton T-Shirt Care

• Cold Water Wash: Wash your cotton t-shirts in cold water to prevent shrinking and fading.

• Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric quality.

• Mild Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent to keep the fabric soft.

• Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach, as it can damage the fibres and fade the colour.

• Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent shrinkage. Removing from the dryer while slightly damp and hanging to finish drying can also reduce wrinkles.

Cotton Hoodie Care

• Wash Cold: Always wash your cotton hoodies in cold water to prevent shrinking.

• Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle cycle to minimize stress on the fabric.

• Inside Out: Turn hoodies inside out before washing to protect the exterior surface.

• Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent to maintain fabric integrity.

• Avoid High Heat: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent shrinking and maintain the hoodie’s shape. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Polyester-Cotton Blend Garments Care

• Cold or Warm Water Wash: Wash polyester-cotton blends in cold or warm water.

• Gentle Cycle: A gentle cycle is best to preserve the fabric blend.

• Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent to keep the fabric soft and durable.

• Avoid Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and alter the colour.

• Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Polyester blends are more resistant to shrinking but avoiding high heat will prolong the life of the garment.

• Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the garment to prevent any potential damage.

General Tips

• Stain Removal: Treat stains promptly with a mild detergent or a stain remover.

• Storage: Store clothes in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging heavy garments like hoodies on hangers, as this can stretch them out over time. Fold them instead.

• Avoid Overwashing: Washing clothes too frequently can cause wear and tear. Spot clean when possible.
