Quick Answer
To keep your Clearwater BeachDogs decal looking fresh, clean the surface before applying, use gentle soap and water for cleaning, and store unused decals in a cool, dry place. For removal, warm the decal with a hairdryer and peel slowly.
Why proper care matters
The Clearwater BeachDogs 2 Pack Multi-Use Decal is designed for cars, laptops, water bottles, and other smooth surfaces. While it's durable, how you treat it affects how long it stays vibrant and sticky.
Cleaning too aggressively or storing it in a hot car can cause fading or peeling. Knowing the right methods keeps your decal looking great and makes removal easier later.
Where you can use your decal
Because it's multi-use, you can apply it to almost any smooth surface. But each surface has its own care needs. For example, a car decal faces sun and rain, while a water bottle gets washed frequently.
Think about the environment your decal will live in. If it's on a water bottle, hand washing is safer than a dishwasher. If it's on a car, you may need to reapply or touch up edges over time.
Step-by-step care and application guide
- Clean the surface before applying: Wipe the surface with rubbing alcohol or a mild soapy solution and let it dry completely. This removes oils and dust that can prevent the decal from sticking. A clean surface is the foundation for a long-lasting decal.
- Apply the decal carefully: Peel the backing slowly and position the decal before pressing it down. Use a credit card or squeegee to smooth out air bubbles from the center outward. Take your time to avoid bubbles and misalignment.
- Clean the decal gently: Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the decal or fade the logo. For water bottles, hand wash only to keep the decal intact.
- Store unused decals properly: Keep the decal in its original packaging or a flat envelope, away from heat and direct sunlight. A cool, dry place like a drawer works best. Heat can make the adhesive weaken, so avoid leaving it in a car.
- Remove the decal when needed: Use a hairdryer on low heat to warm the decal for about 30 seconds. Then peel it off slowly from a corner. If residue remains, use a bit of rubbing alcohol. Warming makes removal easier and reduces sticky residue.
