## Care Instructions
To keep your PROCLAIMED apparel looking fresh and ensure the longevity of the print, follow these care guidelines:
### Washing
- **Machine wash cold** (30°C / 86°F or below) with like colors
- Turn garments **inside out** before washing to protect the print
- Use a **gentle cycle** to reduce wear and tear
- Avoid bleach or harsh detergents—they can fade colors and damage prints
### Drying
- **Tumble dry low** or hang dry for best results
- Remove promptly from dryer to prevent wrinkles
- Do not iron directly on the print—if needed, iron inside out on low heat
### Storage
- Fold hoodies and tees to prevent stretching
- Fold sweatshirts and polos to maintain shape
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
## First Wash Tips
New garments may have a slight chemical smell from the printing process. This is normal and will disappear after the first wash.
- Wash before first wear for maximum comfort
- Expect minimal shrinkage (1-2%) on first wash—our garments are pre-shrunk, but some natural settling may occur
## Print Care
Our prints are applied using high-quality direct-to-garment (DTG) printing for vibrant, long-lasting graphics. To keep them looking sharp:
- Always wash inside out
- Avoid fabric softeners—they can break down the print over time
- Do not dry clean
- Do not bleach
