For proper maintenance of Lycra Polyester - Cairo, it is essential to follow certain recommendations. Bleach should be avoided, and washing temperature should be kept at a maximum of 40ºC. It allows dry cleaning, with the exception of trichloroethylene, and should be ironed at low temperatures to prevent fiber damage. It is important to note that it cannot be tumble dried, which can affect the integrity of the fabric.

The printing technology used for this fabric is sublimation, a process where inks are transferred to the polyester surface using heat. This allows the colors to penetrate the fabric fibers, resulting in a durable and resistant print. Sublimation is particularly ideal for polyester because it offers exceptional image quality and a vibrant color palette that does not fade over time, ensuring that the design maintains its freshness and appeal even after multiple washes.
