WASH CARE INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/h3>

For your handprinted screen print<\/strong><\/p>

Thank you for supporting handmade work by Living by the Tide. Each print is created using traditional screen printing methods. Therefore slight variations make every piece unique. To keep your illustration looking its best, please follow these care our tips:<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
IF PRINTED ON FABRIC (like T-shirts, tote bags, etc.)<\/strong><\/pre>
We recommend hand-washing your item separately for the first time to prevent any excess ink from potentially transferring to other clothing. While this is unlikely to happen, it’s better to be safe than sorry.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
1. Wait 24\u201348 hours\u00a0<\/strong>before the first wash. This lets the ink cure fully.<\/div>
2. Turn inside out<\/strong> before washing.<\/div>
3. Cold wash (max 30\u00b0C)<\/strong> with similar colors.<\/div>
4. Use mild detergent<\/strong>\u00a0avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.<\/div>
5. Air dry only<\/strong> avoid tumble drying to prevent fading or cracking.<\/div>
6. Iron inside out<\/strong> on low heat, avoiding the print directly.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/h4>
IF PRINTED ON PAPER (Art prints, posters)<\/strong><\/pre>
1. Handle with clean, dry hands<\/strong> natural oils can mark the surface.<\/div>
2. Avoid moisture and direct sunlight<\/strong> to prevent warping or fading.<\/div>
3. Frame behind glass or acrylic<\/strong> for long-lasting protection.<\/div>
4. Store flat<\/strong> if unframed.<\/div>
