How to Maintain Your Clothes with DTF Prints
At Ubutunzi Zone, we take pride in delivering high-quality fashion with vibrant, long-lasting DTF (Direct-To-Film) prints. To help you enjoy your pieces for as long as possible, here are our expert tips on how to properly care for your printed clothing.
🧺 Washing Guidelines
Wash Inside Out: Always turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the printed surface from friction and fading.
Cold Water is Key: Use cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) when washing. Hot water can cause the print to crack or peel over time.
Use Mild Detergents: Avoid bleach, strong chemicals, or harsh detergents that can damage the print and fabric.
Hand Wash Preferred: For best results, hand wash gently. If using a machine, choose a gentle or delicate cycle.
🌀 Drying Tips
Air Dry Only: Lay your clothes flat or hang them to dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer as the high heat can affect the adhesion of the DTF print.
Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause fading, dry in the shade where possible.
🧼 Ironing Do’s & Don’ts
Avoid Direct Heat on the Print: Never iron directly on the print. Instead, place a cloth or parchment paper over the design before ironing.
Use Low Heat: Always use a low heat setting when ironing to prevent heat damage.
❌ What to Avoid
- No dry cleaning
- No soaking for long periods
- No scrubbing or brushing on the print area
Final Tip
Treat your DTF-printed apparel with care, and it will keep looking fresh and stylish wash after wash!
