Welcome to Garment Care by MoxyCares™! At Moxy, we take pride in providing you with high-quality, Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printed shirts that are designed to last. Our shirts are printed using fade and UV-resistant inks on carefully selected, durable garments. To help you get the most out of your Moxy shirts, we’ve put together some essential tips on how to care for them properly. Follow these guidelines to keep your shirts looking vibrant and fresh for years to come.

Introduction

When you invest in a Moxy shirt, you’re not just buying a piece of clothing; you’re getting a product that embodies quality, style, and durability. Our DTG printing process ensures that each design is printed with precision and care, using inks that resist fading and UV damage. However, even the highest quality shirts need proper care to maintain their appearance and longevity. In this blog, we’ll share some practical tips on how to care for your Moxy shirts, so you can enjoy them for as long as possible.

Washing Tips

  1. Turn Inside Out: Always turn your shirts inside out before washing. This helps protect the printed design from friction and abrasion during the wash cycle.
  2. Cold Water Wash: Use cold water to wash your shirts. Hot water can cause the fabric to shrink and the colors to fade more quickly.
  3. Gentle Cycle: Select the gentle or delicate cycle on your washing machine. This reduces the wear and tear on both the fabric and the printed design.
  4. Mild Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Harsh chemicals can break down the fibers of the fabric and affect the vibrancy of the print.
  5. Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or bleach-based products on your shirts. Bleach can cause discoloration and damage to the fabric.

Drying Tips

  1. Air Dry: The best way to dry your Moxy shirts is to air dry them. Lay them flat on a clean, dry surface or hang them on a clothesline. This helps prevent shrinkage and maintains the integrity of the print.
  2. Low Heat: If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting. High heat can cause the fabric to shrink and the print to crack or peel over time.
  3. Avoid Overdrying: Remove your shirts from the dryer while they are still slightly damp. Overdrying can lead to excessive shrinkage and damage to the fabric.

Ironing Tips

  1. Turn Inside Out: Just like with washing, turn your shirts inside out before ironing. This protects the printed design from direct heat.
  2. Low Heat Setting: Use the lowest heat setting on your iron. High heat can damage the print and the fabric.
  3. Avoid Direct Contact: If possible, place a thin cloth or a piece of parchment paper over the printed area before ironing. This provides an extra layer of protection for the design.

Storage Tips

  1. Fold Carefully: When storing your shirts, fold them neatly to avoid creases and wrinkles. Avoid hanging them for long periods, as this can stretch the fabric.
  2. Cool, Dry Place: Store your shirts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the colors to fade.
  3. Avoid Plastic Bags: Do not store your shirts in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and lead to mildew or mold growth.

Additional Tips

  1. Spot Cleaning: For small stains, try spot cleaning with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. This can help remove the stain without subjecting the entire shirt to a wash cycle.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your shirts away from harsh chemicals, such as solvents and oils, which can damage the fabric and the print.
  3. Rotate Your Wardrobe: Give your favorite shirts a break by rotating them with other items in your wardrobe. This reduces the frequency of washing and extends their lifespan.
