“The tea towel arrived with a strong smell of vinegar.”
The pre-treatment that is used before printing is an eco-friendly vinegar-based solution, this causes the tea towel to have a slight odour once the print process is cured through a tunnel drying machine.
This is not harmful and is safe for infants as well. The odour will be removed once the item is first washed.
