As part of our commitment to sustainability, we want to ensure that your Island City Prints purchases last. To help you make the most of your hand block printed pieces, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Gentle Cleaning: Use a delicate machine cycle on a cold wash or hand wash your items with cold water.
• Choose the Right Detergent: Use non-enzyme/non-biological washing powder or liquid to protect the colours and fabric.
• Skip the Dryer: Avoid tumble drying and instead gently squeeze out excess water and air dry.
• Preserve Colours: Pull your items back into shape while damp and dry them inside-out
  away from strong light.
• Separate Strong Colors: Wash strongly coloured items separately as they may require multiple washes to remove excess dye, although they have been pre-washed by us to prevent this.
• Ironing: Use a warm iron setting and iron on the reverse side of the print.

By following these simple care tips, you can enjoy your hand block printed cotton pieces for years to come. If you have any questions, our customer support is always here to assist you.
