At Houston Screen Printing and Embroidery, we help teams across Atascocita keep their gear fresh with simple, proven care tips for embroidered apparel.
Why Proper Care Matters
Good care:
-
🧵 Preserves stitching and thread color
-
🧺 Prevents fraying, shrinking, or logo distortion
-
🔁 Reduces need to reorder early
-
📸 Keeps your team photo-ready at every event
Embroidery is built to last—but like anything stitched, it performs best with the right care.
Wash Instructions for Embroidered Polos & Jackets
-
Turn Garments Inside Out
This protects the embroidered threads from rubbing against other items or harsh machine surfaces. -
Use Cold Water
Cold wash cycles preserve thread color and prevent fabric shrinkage. -
Choose Gentle Detergents
Avoid bleach, stain removers, or anything with strong enzymes. These can break down embroidery thread. -
Wash With Similar Items Only
Avoid rough items like jeans or towels in the same load to reduce friction.
Drying Guidelines
-
🔥 Avoid High Heat – High dryer heat can cause the fabric to shrink and the threads to pucker.
-
🌬️ Air Dry When Possible – Especially for hats or structured apparel.
-
🌀 Use Low or Delicate Cycle – If using a dryer, go low to protect stitching and structure.
Ironing Embroidered Apparel
-
👔 Never iron directly on the stitched logo
-
🔄 Turn garment inside out or place a clean cloth over the embroidery
-
🔥 Use low heat with no steam
-
❌ Avoid pressing too hard—this can flatten the thread
Following this keeps your logo crisp and raised.
Caring for Embroidered Hats & Accessories
-
🧢 Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap
-
❌ Don’t fully submerge hats or bags
-
🌤️ Air dry in a cool, flat area—avoid bending brims or logos
-
🧺 Store hats upright or hanging—avoid stacking under weight
This keeps caps and gear looking clean between uses.
When to Replace Your Gear
Look out for:
-
🧵 Fraying or loose stitching
-
👕 Fabric thinning or discoloration
-
📏 Size changes after wash
-
🎯 Faded or shifted logos
If it’s no longer photo-ready, it’s time to reorder. We keep your digitized logo on file, so repeat orders are easy and consistent.
Tips to Maximize Gear Longevity
-
📦 Order extras for staff swaps or new hires
-
🔁 Rotate gear between workdays to reduce wear
-
🧺 Assign “event only” gear for public appearances
-
🧢 Provide staff with storage tips (especially for hats and jackets)
The more you care for it, the better it represents your brand.
