Care & Preparation Specifications To preserve the premium look and function of your waffle pique, please adhere to the following guidelines: * **Essential Pre-Shrinkage:** Due to the cellular weave, this fabric has a high natural shrinkage rate of **9% to 18%**. It is **absolutely necessary** to pre-shrink the material by soaking it in hot water before cutting and sewing. Do not wash or dry the fabric in a machine for the first time. Please note that pre-shrinking with steam-ironing alone is insufficient and will lead to significant shrinkage after the first machine wash. * **Machine Washing:** Wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle to protect the waffle weave. * **Drying:** Line dry / air dry for best results. Tumble drying is not recommended as it can cause excessive shrinkage. * **Absorbency Maintenance:** Avoid using fabric softeners, which coat the fibers and degrade the fabric's natural absorbency. * **Ironing:** Ironing is generally not required, as the texture is its primary feature. If necessary, iron at a low to medium temperature without pressing down fully to avoid flattening the pattern. * **Shaping:** Gently stretch the damp fabric or finished product back into its original shape after washing.
