To maintain the quality of the fabric, bleaching should be avoided, and it should not be washed at temperatures exceeding 40ºC. Dry cleaning is permitted, except with trichloroethylene. For ironing, a low temperature is recommended, and if using a tumble dryer, a reduced temperature should be employed. Adhering to these instructions will ensure greater durability and quality of the fabric.

Finally, its worth noting that the base fabric is printed using sublimation technology. This technique involves applying ink directly onto the fabric, allowing for high-resolution definition and a wide range of vibrant colors. The ink transforms into gas upon contact with the fabric and is permanently fixed due to high temperature and pressure.
