Turn Your Garment Inside Out We recommend turning your garment inside out before washing. This helps to protect the applied transfer from any other garments in the wash load - especially against any zippers, buttons, or other rough elements that the garment may come into contact with. ### 2. Wash Cold & Line Dry\* Wash your garment in cold water and, if you really want the best results, hang to dry. \*We know your time is valuable, so if you're in a pinch, you *could*use a dryer with the delicate/tumble dry low option. But remember, continued use of the dryer on pressed garments may cause the plastisol to break down, leading to cracks, peeling, etc.  **Never** use an iron over the transfer! And do not use chlorine bleach. ### 3. Double Check the Care Instructions of Your Garment If your garment's care instructions request something even more gentle (for example, hand-washing), please follow those instructions. We don't want to ruin your garment! #### Bonus Tip! We recommend laying the newly applied garments out for about 24 - 48 hours **before** folding or washing. This allows the transfer to completely cure and bond, giving you optimal results.     ## Related Articles [![Zach from 613 Originals discussing new products with a customer at a trade show booth.](https://blog.613originals.com/hubfs/Placeholder-2.jpeg)](https://blog.613originals.com/4-reasons-why-attending-a-trade-show-is-worth-it) [Trade Shows](https://blog.613originals.com/tag/trade-shows) ### [4 Reasons Why Trade Shows Are Worth It](https://blog.613originals.com/4-reasons-why-attending-a-trade-show-is-worth-it) Have you ever considered attending an industry trade show?
