ATTENTION: all DHG colours tend to have a high fastness against light and washing. That being said, the fluorescent colours (80's collection) in addition to having a low light fastness, in the presence of alkaline or very aggressive soaps and prolonged processing / washing, can show a significant colour loss, this can also happen for dark and shiny colours. Thus, for any materials dyed with these types of colours we recommend that you carry out a processing and washing test using a small sample before you proceed working on your final project. The above mentioned testing is positively essential if these materials are to be combined with raw or light coloured materials. It is also good practice to never dry the materials in direct sunlight, instead be sure to use low lighting.
