THIS FABRIC IS A MICRO-FIBER FABRIC. THE COLORS ARE LOCKED INTO THE FIBER AND ARE PERMANENT.-- NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE GARMENT IS CLEANED, THIS PRINT WILL NEVER CHANGE ITS COLORS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STAIN. -IT IS A WASH AND WEAR ITEM: WASH ON -GENTLE -WITH ANY SOAP. - AFTER THE SPIN CYCLE HANG TO DRY. THERE IS A LESS MOISTURE LEFT THAN COTTON OF SIMILAR WEIGHT SO HANG DRYING IS FASTER THAN COTTONS. THIS FABRIC IS WRINKLE RESISTANT AND HANGS OUT STRAIGHT. HOWEVER, PUTING OUR FABRICS IN A DRYER WILL NOT HURT THEM IN ANY WAY; THIS FABRIC DOES NOT SHRINK WHEN PUT IN A DRYER. OVER THE LIFE OF THE GARMENT, SEAMS, PADS, BUTTONS AND ZIPPERS WILL LAST FOREVER IF YOU MINIMIZE THE USE OF A DRYER.

IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AND WANT TO WASH IT, JUST WASH IT IN THE SINK; BLOT WITH A COUPLE OF TOWELS AND HANG DRY. - WHEN PACKING, PUT IT ON TOP AND IT WILL NOT GET WRINKLING.-IF YOU PACK THE GARMENT AWAY DAMP OR PUT IT AT THE BOTTOM, IT MAY WRINKLE SLIGHTLY.--USUALLY HANGING IN A STEAMY SHOWER WILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM OR YOU CAN SIMPLY RE-WET THE GARMENT, HANG IT UP OR BLOW DRY IT IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY.-ALSO, PORTABLE STEAMERS WORK VERY WELL TO QUICKLY REMOVE WRINKLES. DRYCLEANING IS OK; BUT IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY.
