Sublimated designs will not crack, peel, or fade over time and will last the life span of the fabric. Designs do not wash out. Similar to piece dyed fabric pilling can occur. When pilling occurs the white body fabric can become visible. Below is a list of Sublimation “Do’s and Don’ts”. Following these care instructions will be crucial to the long life of your sublimated garment.
| Yes | No |
|---|---|
| Machine wash cold water, gentle cycle with similar colors. | Do not use bleach |
| Dampen any stains with water and a small amount of mild soap or detergent. | Do not use fabric softeners |
| Tumble dry on low works fine, but hang to dry is best. | Do not iron |
| Turn garment inside out before washing (this is not required, but may extend the life of the garment) | Do not dry clean, store damp, or wash or dry with items containing Velcro zipper, or other rough surfaces |
| Do not rub fabric against abrasive surfaces like a fence or Velcro from a bag |
