To ensure your custom vinyl design remains vibrant, sharp, and durable for the life of the garment, please follow these care instructions carefully.
Washing:
Turn the garment inside out before washing. This protects the vinyl surface from friction and abrasion in the machine.
Use cold water (or warm, maximum 100∘F or 38∘C). Hot water can weaken the vinyl adhesive bond.
Use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, and fabric softeners, as these can break down the vinyl and the adhesive.
Drying:
The preferred method is to hang or lay flat to dry (air dry).
If using a dryer, tumble dry on the lowest heat setting or the “air fluff” cycle. High heat is the enemy of vinyl!
Ironing:
Do not iron directly on the vinyl design. The heat will melt or damage the material.
If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and iron on the reverse side using the lowest heat setting.
Following these steps will ensure your “Ive Been Voluntold” design looks its best for years!
Cup Care Instructions: Keep Your Vinyl Looking Great!
To ensure the longest life and best appearance for your beautiful new vinyl cup, please follow these simple care steps.
🚫 The Must-Nots (Avoid These!):
These actions can damage the vinyl adhesive and cause peeling or lifting.
Dishwasher: Do not put your cup in the dishwasher. The heat and harsh detergents are too abrasive for the vinyl.
Microwave: Do not microwave your cup.
Soaking: Do not let your cup soak in water for extended periods. Clean promptly.
Harsh Scrubbing: Do not use abrasive sponges, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (like bleach or alcohol) on the vinyl decal.
Heat: Do not leave your cup in extreme heat, such as a hot car on a sunny day. This can weaken the vinyl’s bond.
✅ The Must-Do’s (Best Practices):
Follow these steps for optimal longevity of your custom design.
Hand Wash Only: Always hand wash your cup gently.
Gentle Cleaning: Use mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the interior of the cup and the areas around the decal.
Rinse and Dry Immediately: After washing, rinse with cool or lukewarm water and then gently pat the cup dry with a soft cloth or air dry it.
Handle with Care: When cleaning or handling, try to avoid picking or rubbing at the edges of the vinyl design.
