We use a new finishing technology called NanoSphere® on our fabrics which provides a natural self-cleaning effect and an extremely high level of liquid and dirt repellence. It is based on nanotechnology. By using nanotechnology it becomes possible to transfer the non-stick and self-cleaning process of certain plants or insects observed in nature onto our fabrics.
What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology
is the science and technology of precisely manipulating the structure of matter
at the molecular level. The term nanotechnology embraces many different fields
and specialties, including engineering, chemistry, electronics, and medicine,
among others, but all are concerned with bringing existing technologies down to
a very small scale, measured in nanometers. A nanometer - a billionth of a
meter - is about the size of six carbon atoms in a row. The development of nanotechnology holds out great promise of improvements in
the quality of life, including new treatments for disease and greater
efficiency in computer data storage and processing. In the textile industry,
nanotechnology awakens a new era in the creation of fabrics. Where else it Nanosphere® Used? NanoSphere® textile technology has been in the market for a long time. However, this textile technology has been applied to extreme sports apparel or been used by very expensive clothing designers.

We also recommend you use a low heat dry iron (no steam) after the garment is dry. We cannot stress enough how important it is to not use any fabric softener on your clothing and that liquid detergent is preferred. Do not dry clean.
