There is the fabric on the one hand and the impression on the other hand, to start these few basic tips that will help you fully enjoy your favorite clothes so beautifully stamped with the seal of an angel and a Martian for a long time.

When it comes to printing, if you assume that you should run your business like fragile textiles, you’ve got it all right, and you’re on the right track.

For most large pieces (T-shirts, sweatshirts, …), machine washing is possible, and for the others, (panties, briefs, beach towels, …) hand washing is very strongly recommended, and in both cases, at low temperature only (max 40°C or 104°F).

Start by turning what can be turned inside out, so that the printed part is inside the garment, and therefore relatively protected from small shocks and friction during washing.

For the same reasons, avoid washing your favorite anvils at the same time, as well as your safety shoes and other sharp objects that will damage the fibers of your prints from one turn of the drum to the next: what is fragile with what is fragile, and the same for the rest.

Chlorine should be avoided, even if you try to wash out the colours in a completely random way, because not all react in the same way to the product. If you want to express yourself in more pastel shades, wait instead for the colors to come, already designed to be the complementary range of the first ones, which had been selected to be very intense.

Tumble drying is not recommended, nor is it recommended in direct sun, so a warm but not too warm shade will be perfect and will help preserve the impression over time, which is the goal.

The iron is possible, but at a low temperature, or with a towel placed in the interlayer between the fabric and the aforementioned iron.

As the last step of your careful successful washing, remember to put the garment right side up, which will allow you to expose your beautiful, wonderfully washed print to the world, at the very least, and to begin with, it goes without saying.

Finally, as for the fabric, which also contributes to the longevity of the print, it is less often said, but taking care of the Earthling inside is still earning points in the preservation of your masterpieces so elegantly worn. For example, don’t try to provoke the All Blacks by pretending to give them a lesson in rugby alone against all: it could be that your clothes come out slightly wrinkled from the challenge, hence the risk of a deterioration of the print, which would still be regrettable after so many efforts all aimed at the record of conservation of your favorite clothes, and incidentally their content…
