Important note
The AI can identify likely fabric and issue patterns from a photo, but it is not a substitute for professional cleaning or restoration on delicate, sentimental, or high-value garments. Spot test first and escalate when needed.

Care Essentials
Use these tools and routines to reduce fading, cracking, shrinkage, and premature wear.
Sort by fabric weight and color family, turn printed garments inside out, and close zippers before wash cycles to reduce abrasion.
Use gentle liquid detergent without bleach alternatives for most DTF garments; avoid heavy additives that can break down print films.
Cold water and short cycles preserve print vibrancy and reduce fabric stress. Reserve warm settings for heavily soiled non-delicate items only.
Air dry flat or hang dry when possible, avoid high heat, and store in breathable spaces away from prolonged direct sunlight.
