How Not To Ruin Your Soul-inked Pieces
+
Apparel (tees, hoodies, kidswear)
Machine wash cold, inside-out, gentle cycle with mild detergent and similar colors — darkness survives best when left undisturbed.
Use non-chlorine bleach only if things have truly gone wrong.
Skip the softener — this isn't a spa day.
No dryers — shrinkage and crackling are scary in the wrong way.
Cool iron inside-out if you must. Do not iron the print — they are not into that.
Do not dry clean. It never ends well.
Mugs (ceramic)
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing keeps the print sharper longer.
Avoid abrasive sponges — don't scrub the soul off the design.
Sudden temperature changes can cause cracking. Ceramic has limits.
Treat it like a ritual object, not a stress test.
Notebooks
Keep away from moisture — paper and ink don’t recover.
Store flat or upright; avoid crushing them in bags.
Covers will soften and mark over time. That’s part of the story.
Bags
Wipe clean with a damp cloth — not everything needs a full reset.
Avoid machine washing. Structure matters. So does restraint.
Air dry only. Heat warps things — materials, intentions, outcomes.
Stay away from bleach — this isn't a cleansing ritual.
Avoid overloading. It carries what you need, not everything you’re avoiding.
