We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after pressing a garment to perform a wash / dry cycle. **Inside Out Is Best** Washing the garment inside out is the best way to prevent premature wear and tear. **Have Zippers Or Buttons On Your Garment?** If you have zippers or buttons on the garment you decorated, it is best to wash it right-side out. This is to prevent the buttons/zippers from destroying your garment which would normally be washed inside out. **Follow The Care Instructions On Your Garment** The company that made the shirt knows the best temperature settings for washing and drying your garment. - [About Heat Transfers](https://support.fmexpressions.com/about-heat-transfers?hsLang=en) - [Artwork Resources](https://support.fmexpressions.com/artwork-resources?hsLang=en) - [Ordering](https://support.fmexpressions.com/ordering?hsLang=en) [![FMExpressionsLogo-1](https://support.fmexpressions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FMExpressionsLogo-1.jpg?width=75&height=75&name=FMExpressionsLogo-1.jpg "FMExpressionsLogo-1")](http://fmexpressions.com) 401 Taylor Avenue, Gordonsville, VA 22942 [(888) 788-7133](tel:+18887887133) Copyright © FM Expressions
