Care Instructions 
What is the best way to care for my fashion, fabric, accessories, carries, dog items, home and office decor made for me by Ludwig Express?

These are special art garments, carries, and decor, each digitally printed from original paintings and therefore will have individual variances as part of the process. It’s important that you know how to take care of everything in the best way possible!

We use high-quality inks that won’t fade for a long time if taken care of properly. It’s best to hand wash your art garments with like colors, inside out, in cold water. If you prefer to machine wash cold inside out, on gentle hand wash cycle, use a gentle detergent made for delicate garments. But the big colors and fabric fresh look will last longer if you hand wash. You shouldn’t use bleach, or fabric softeners, or dry-clean the items. Hang dry to maintain the brightest colors. Do not iron.

Carries such as backpacks, gym bags, duffle bags, and totes need to be hand washed without bleach, and left to air dry naturally. Don’t dry clean or tumble dry or iron.

Pillow cases can be machine-washed inside out without bleach on a cold cycle for delicates with a gentle detergent. Hang to dry. Don’t dry-clean, or tumble-dry, or iron. The pillow inserts shouldn’t be washed, bleached, tumble-dried, ironed, or dry-cleaned.

Towels, and laptop sleeves, can be machine-washed cold with like colors at no more than 86ºF (30ºC). Don’t use bleach and don’t dry-clean. It’s best to hang and air dry naturally.

Mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe, but the print and coating will last longer if you hand wash them.

To ensure that your posters’ brilliant luster lasts for a long time, don’t keep them in direct sunlight or outdoors. They can be gently dusted with a soft dry cloth or a feather duster.
