MAINTENANCE
NodoItalia ropes and fabrics are UV-resistant, but prolonged exposure to sunlight can compromise their color and strength over time. To ensure their longevity, we recommend using shaded areas or protective covers when not in use. In case of rain, water can contain dirt and pollutants that accelerate the wear of the material. Cushions and fabrics should be protected or stored in dry, well-ventilated areas, especially during the winter or long periods of non-use. Avoid using plastic wrap, which can retain moisture and cause mold.

CARE
Regular and simple care helps maintain the appearance and performance over time. Simply brush gently, vacuum, or wipe with a damp cloth to prevent dirt buildup. For a deeper clean, we recommend a solution of water and neutral soap, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Removable covers can be machine washed at 30°C on a delicate cycle, using a neutral detergent. Avoid fabric softener and do not overload the drum. Do not iron; air dry.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
Treat stains as soon as possible. Remove excess material with paper towels or a soft brush, then clean with a sponge or cloth soaked in soapy water. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry with a dry cloth, and let air dry completely before reusing. To machine wash, remove any padding, attach any Velcro protectors, and wash separately on the gentle cycle. Avoid high spin cycles and storing in plastic.

HYGIENE AND SAFETY
NodoItalia fabrics are completely recyclable, hypoallergenic, and naturally resistant to the growth of bacteria and mold. They can be sanitized with 70% hydroalcoholic solutions or up to 0.5% sodium hypochlorite without altering their color or texture, even after repeated washing. Thanks to their hydrophobic nature, they are ideal for both outdoor and indoor residential, contract, or shared spaces, where hygiene and skin safety are paramount.
