Care Instructions for all AOLNZ garments

Please take care when washing and drying your Art Out Loud NZ printed garment to ensure that they stay looking in prime condition. 

All of the clothing is made of 100% compacted cotton which is colourfast. This means you can machine-wash the clothing in temperatures up to 40 degrees. Although much of the inevitable shrinkage has already happened, it takes just a few washes for the fabric to get its final fit.

Avoid washing in very hot temperatures (above 40 degrees) as this can reduce the life of a garment and the print. It may also cause the garment to shrink approximately one centimeter in length. Washing your garment inside out will protect and prolong the life of the print. 
 
The best way to dry the clothing is to hang them on coat hangers on a clothesline or on a drying rack. 
Drying them inside-out will also help to prevent fading. Avoid drying your clothes in a tumble-dryer as this can reduce the life of the garment and the print.

If you need to dry your garments in a tumble-dryer, ordering one size larger will overcome the problem of shrinkage. It is also recommended that you iron the garments inside out and do not iron directly on the print.
