Regarding the care instructions for this fabric, it is essential to follow the washing and maintenance recommendations. Bleaching should be avoided, and it should be washed at a maximum temperature of 40ºC to preserve both the color and the integrity of the fibers.

This technique allows for complex designs with exceptional print quality, perfect for enhancing the aesthetics of the fabric and its versatility in use.
