CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Please take good care of all these fabric materials. Wash at 30 degrees with mild detergents and no bleach. Tumble drying is not recommended because it can damage the fabric's surface and print quality but if neccessary tumble dry below 800 Rpm. Iron on the reverse side with low heat setting.

Did you know that washing your clothes in lower temperatures saves a lot of energy? If you lower the washing temperature from 40 degrees to 30 degrees you save about 57% in energy costs! In addition lower temperatures keep your items in better condition for a longer period of time. Fantastic news for SHALMIAK fabrics with a bunch of happy colours!
