Caring For Your MOVA
🧼 Top Tips for Washing Printed MOVA Clothing
1. Wash Inside Out
Turning your garments inside out protects the printed area from direct friction with other items in the wash. This helps preserve the vibrancy of the design and prevents abrasion.
2. Use Cold or Warm Water (30°C Max)
Stick to a gentle wash cycle at low temperatures. Excessive heat can weaken the adhesive used, so avoid hot washes.
3. Use Mild Detergents
Harsh chemicals or bleach-based detergents can damage both fabric and print. Choose a non-abrasive, colour-safe detergent to keep everything in top condition.
4. Avoid Fabric Softeners
While fabric softeners can be great for regular clothes, they can affect the bond between the print and fabric.
5. Air Dry Where Possible
Tumble dryers generate high heat, which can break down the print’s adhesive. Hang your garments to dry naturally, out of direct sunlight, for best results.
🚫 What to Avoid
No ironing directly on the print.
If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or place a cloth over the printed area.
No dry cleaning.
The chemicals used in dry cleaning can harm the prints.
Don’t overload the washing machine.
Too many garments rubbing together can wear out the print faster.
