Care Instructions

Thank you for choosing The Buckeye Branding Company. Follow these simple steps to keep your custom shirts, drinkware and awards looking great for years.

Custom shirts and hoodies (printed)

  • Wait 24 hours before the first wash.
  • Turn the garment inside out and wash cold with similar colors, using mild detergent. No bleach or fabric softener.
  • Tumble dry low or hang dry.
  • Do not iron directly on the print. If needed, iron inside out on low heat.
  • Do not dry clean.

Leather patch hats

  • Spot clean with a damp cloth. Do not put hats in the washing machine or dishwasher.
  • Let it air dry, and keep it out of long, direct sun.

Engraved and full-color printed tumblers and mugs

  • Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Wash the lid separately.
  • Not dishwasher safe. The heat and detergent can wear down the coating and printed colors.
  • Do not use abrasive pads or harsh cleaners, and do not microwave or freeze.

Glass, crystal and acrylic awards

  • Dust with a soft microfiber cloth.
  • For smudges, spray glass cleaner onto the cloth, not the award. Do not use paper towels on acrylic, because they scratch.

Wood plaques and boards

  • Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and keep them away from standing water.
  • Cutting and serving boards: hand wash, dry right away, and oil occasionally with food-safe mineral oil.

Full-color printed awards, plaques and gifts

  • Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use alcohol, solvents or scrubbers on the printed area.
