To ensure that your amazing new project looks great wash-after-wash, follow these easy instructions.
- Wash on the top rack only.
- Avoid extra cycle options such as heated drying cycles, sanitize, and steam cycles.
- For longest-lasting results avoid scrubbing pads, heavily dyed detergents, and steel wool as this can damage the outer coating of the mug and the transferred image.
- Liquid, power, and "pod" detergents are safe to use.
- For vinyl applications, see additional notes on the Cricut Smart & Premium Permanent Vinyl tab.
- Ensure that your vinyl project is applied to a dishwasher-safe surface. Consult the manufacturer for details.
- Ensure that the project surface is clean — free from dirt, oils, and glue residue from stickers or price tags.
- Make sure the project surface is completely dry before vinyl application. Allow to air dry or use a lint-free cloth.
- When applying your vinyl design, make sure it is free of bubbles or folds – these defects can cause the vinyl to lift after washing.
- Allow project to sit for 24–48 hours. Dishwashing prior to this may reduce performance of the vinyl.
- Wash on the top rack only.
- Avoid extra cycle options such as heated drying cycles, sanitize, and steam cycles.
