FAQ

Question 1

How do I wash my SpookyKids gear?

Accepted Answer

Turn the garment inside out before washing. Use cold water on a gentle cycle. This protects the DTF print from friction and heat that can cause cracking or peeling over time.

Question 2

Can I use hot water?

Accepted Answer

No. Hot water breaks down the adhesive bond between the DTF film and the fabric. Always wash in cold water to keep the print looking fresh.

Question 3

What detergent should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid detergents with bleach, fabric softeners, or optical brighteners — these can degrade the print and dull the colors over time.

Question 4

Can I put it in the dryer?

Accepted Answer

If you use a dryer, keep it on the lowest heat setting or tumble dry on air/no heat. High heat is the number one enemy of DTF prints — it can cause the design to crack, peel, or warp. Air drying flat or hanging is always the safest option.

Question 5

Can I iron my SpookyKids gear?

Accepted Answer

Do not iron directly on the print. If you need to iron the garment, turn it inside out and use a low heat setting. Never place a hot iron on the DTF design — it will melt and ruin the print permanently.

Question 6

Can I dry clean it?

Accepted Answer

No. Dry cleaning solvents are too harsh for DTF prints and will damage the design. Stick to cold machine wash or hand wash.

Question 7

How do I hand wash if I want to be extra careful?

Accepted Answer

Fill a basin with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently agitate the garment — don't scrub or wring the print. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and lay flat to dry.

Question 8

Why does my print look slightly raised or textured?

Accepted Answer

That's totally normal for DTF printing. The design is a thin film bonded to the fabric, so it has a slight texture and feel to it. That's the nature of the process — it's not a defect.
