FAQs

FabPatch can be used to patch, cover and decorate various products. The clothing patch is best suited for patching clothes that have been washed several times. It is also suitable for shoes, bags, chairs, hats, gloves, cushions, beanbags, curtains – the list goes on! By experimenting, you will find suitable items.

The washing life depends on the material of the clothes, its age, how the FabPatch is attached, where it is attached and how soon it is washed. The best results are now more than 4 years of heavy use and washing. However, there are a huge number of variables in textiles, and we cannot make a promise about washing durability. We know that 100% cotton is more challenging than other materials, but there are many kinds of experiences. A tumble dryer is also good here. And of course follow the instructions for use to extend the life of the patch.


Our complaint rate is 0.08%. Our product has a satisfaction guarantee!

The reason may be:

1. Chemicals
When used correctly, the FabPatch should withstand multiple washes on the textile. However, the chemicals used in the clothes can affect the permanence of the clothing patch.
2. Fastening too lightly
In order to last, the FabPatch should be rubbed firmly into place, for at least a minute, preferably a few minutes. You can use, for example, a spoon. If desired, the fastening can be enhanced by ironing the garment according to the care instructions for a maximum of 10 seconds.
3. Too short fixation time
The clothing patch must adhere 3 days before the first wash. The patched product can be used right away, but extreme stretching and/or wetting during the first three days can also reduce the product’s durability. The longer the FabPatch is allowed to adhere before the first wash and also between washes, the better the it adheres.

4. Textile coatings and different materials
Various dirt and water repellence treatments can have the effect that they also repel the FabPatch. That’s why FabPatch is not recommended for coated textiles, although they have remained well on some coated ones, we cannot guarantee their performance.

100% cotton is a more challenging material than others and special attention should be paid to its fastening by pressing. Ironing improves the washing durability, especially in 100% cotton clothes. According to studies, durability is better in clothes made of artificial fibers, and in cotton clothes with even a small percentage of artificial fibers.
