Our mugs are made with the greatest care. All prints are made using original inks, printers, papers and materials intended for this purpose. Before returning the product, we carefully inspect our mugs and the products we send/sell to our customers.
Improper use of our products, e.g.:
– using bleach on personalised clothes
– washing clothes at inappropriate temperatures
– using products in dishwashers with inappropriate temperatures, e.g. mugs.
– using strong cleaning agents that may damage the print or personalised item
This may result in deletion, damage, fading of graphics or damage to the product.
Therefore, we recommend all our clients to follow the rules listed below:
– We recommend washing personalised mugs by hand without using strong cleaning agents. It is allowed to use dishwashers with a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, but it is not recommended. However, we recommend washing them by hand so the print lasts as long as possible. Our mugs are already 6 years old and, washed only by hand, they are still the same colour. Keeping the mugs exposed to sunlight is also not recommended because the sun’s rays may damage the print after a few years.
– In the case of clothes, we recommend washing them at a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius without bleach and strong detergents. It is best to turn clothes inside out when washing. Do not iron printed surfaces. Hand washing is the best method and prints can last for many years.
By purchasing our products, you accept the rules of their use and care.
