So, my House of Mami Wata Ankara fabric haul arrived yesterday. It's just gorgeous but one length had this sticker on it that made me LOL .... Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Stay safe!

What a dilemma… do you waste one of those 10 ‘assured’ washes on a fabric pre-wash, or gamble shrinkage on that guaranteed virus protection?

An Australian activewear manufacturer got in to big time trouble with this sort of claim last year!

Yes! I've seen so many dresses/tops with matching masks and I need to do that! ... except I couldn't wash it more than 10 times?!?

I'm a pre-washer, especially for cotton & other shrinking fabrics. It'll be worth it!

curly91, I hadn't heard of that! ... Lorna Jane made pretty blanket claims. I guess that's why the Anakara label clearly states the anti-viral only lasts 10 washes? To cover themselves?!

Too funny! FWIW after much testing and trial and error, I found African Wax Print Fabrics to be the best for masks. They hold their shape, are tightly woven, have beautiful prints, don't fade in the wash and are extremely comfortable!

It's probably not a covid joke. Just since most places would not joke about that. Also virus does not have to mean covid at all. Also could have lost something in the translation even. Lots of virus and microbes around, that have nothing to do with Covid at all. . But, maybe it was silver treated or something. To find out, you probably would have to ask.
