1. Wash Inside Out: Turn the garment inside out before washing. This helps protect the rubber print from friction and abrasion during the washing cycle.
2. Use Cold Water: Wash rubber-printed items in cold water. Cold water is gentler on prints and helps prevent the rubber from cracking or peeling. Avoid hot water, as it can damage the print.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners when washing rubber-printed clothing, as these can damage the print.

6. Avoid Ironing Directly: Do not iron the rubber print directly. If the garment needs ironing, turn it inside out and use a low-heat setting. Place a cloth or parchment paper between the iron and the print to protect it.
