Our shirts are printed using a direct-to-garment printing technique, so you may notice a vinegar-like scent or an off-white residue when you first unpack your new shirt. Don't worry, that is not unusual. It is also not permanent. The scent is from a fixation agent used to bond the ink to your shirt so it doesn't flake off the garment.
The solution is simply wash the shirt.
We use the latest direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technology and high-quality inks that won't fade for a long time if taken care of properly.
Keep in mind that the original manufacturer's care instructions for the t-shirt or hoodie don't take into consideration the DTG printing process. Bird Fluff recommends the following to ensure you enjoy your new t-shirt or hoodie for many years to come.
Machine-wash on cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. You shouldn't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean your t-shirts and hoodies.
Your t-shirts and hoodies can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-dry works best. When it comes to ironing, use cool iron inside-out. Don't iron the print.
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid fading and cracking of the print, and shrinking the garment that can occur if you wash or dry it on a high setting.

Mugs and Glassware
Yes they are, though we recommend taking care not to let them rub up against other glasses while in the dishwasher. Over time that can result in damage to the print.
Towels
Yes, this is normal and part of the printing process. Once you wash it, the print side will become soft and silky to the touch.
