Laundry Tips for Embroidery Products

At Needle & Knot, we want your custom embroidery items to stay vibrant and beautiful for as long as possible. Here are some tips on how to wash your embroidered garments without damaging the embroidery or the fabric:

  • Turn Inside Out: Protect the embroidery from rubbing and snagging by turning the garment inside out.

  • Use Mild Detergent: Wash with mild detergent and cold water to preserve the fabric and embroidery.

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not bleach or use fabric softeners or harsh chemicals that could fade or damage the embroidery or fabric.

  • Gentle Wash: Use the gentle cycle or hand wash. Avoid high-speed spin or wringing to prevent damage.

  • Low Heat Drying: Dry on low heat or air dry. High heat can melt or scorch the embroidery or fabric.

  • Light Steaming: If needed, steam lightly but avoid pressing the embroidery directly with the iron.

  • Proper Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the quality of the embroidery.

By following these tips, you can ensure your embroidered garments remain beautiful and vibrant for years to come. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!
