When considering the necessary care to prolong the life of this fabric, it is essential to follow certain recommendations. The fabric should not be bleached, and its washing should be done at a maximum temperature of 40ºC to avoid deterioration of its properties. Dry cleaning is permitted except for the use of trichloroethylene, and ironing should be done at a cool temperature, thus avoiding any damage to the fibers. It is also important not to use a dryer, as intense heat can negatively affect the elasticity and texture of the fabric.

The printing technology used for the manufacture of this fabric is sublimation, specifically on polyester. This process involves the transfer of steam inks onto the fibers of the fabric, allowing for a complete integration of color into the fabric. This not only ensures that the print is vibrant and durable but also maintains the softness of the material, ensuring that the fabric is comfortable for daily use and in sports activities. Thanks to this technique, the design is less distorted compared to other printing methods, and the colors remain intense wash after wash, making this fabric an excellent choice for any fashion project.
