Product Care & Info
Are the textiles machine washable?
Yes they are! Be sure to wash in cold or warm to preserve the quality of the print. And also avoid excess rubbing (like when trying to remove a stubborn stain).
Will the print fade?
Not normally. They may have a tendency to fade if washed in hot water, used with abrasive soaps/detergents, or vigorously rubbed. Some stain sprays may have an undesired effect on the print (some areas fade while others do not).
Can I bleach my towel (or other textiles)?
We have tested a few of our towels with bleach (wash cold or warm) and they washed well and looked just like they did after printing. Spot test an area of the print if you are unsure. Or you can try baking soda before washing!
What is a swedish dishcloth?
Swedish Dishcloths are paper towel and sponge alternatives. Made of 70% wood cellulose and 30% cotton, they are full of many benefits. They can absorb 15x-20x it’s weight! One Swedish Dishcloth can replace up to 17 rolls of paper towels. It’s more hygienic than a sponge and by air drying quickly, it doesn’t breed bacteria and cause that nasty sponge smell.
They can last a good long time too! Depending on use, it can last 6 months - 2 years! Good for up to 150+ washings! It can be cleaned in the washing machine or in the top rack of the dishwasher. Or it can also be boiled or microwaved for one minute (just be sure it’s damp!!!)
About our products & process
How Products are made
We Screen Print all of our textile products with an eco friendly water based screen printing ink in small batches.
Most of our textile products are sewn in house from scratch using natural fabrics.
We do outsource the printing of a few of our products (like mugs, enamel pins, cards and stickers) by other small businesses that specialize in the printing those products. We like being able to support other small businesses just like us!
Are these your drawings?
Yes! They are!
Each of these images are one of our original drawings or designs done by owner/artist Kim Shirley. She sketches them in one of her many notebooks or sketchbooks with a pencil and pen OR with procreate on an IPAD.
Are you Eco Friendly?
We at Corvidae are passionate about the planet we call home and want to do our very best to limit our waste footprint. Kim was especially moved after watching a documentary called Plastic Paradise years ago when she was starting Corvidae (streaming on Amazon Prime. Watch it!). She was compelled to do something!
As a result, we use recycled packing materials to ship our products and also use an eco-friendly non toxic water based screen printing ink.
Do you take Custom and personalized orders?
Due to overwhelming demand and lack of staff, we are NOT currently taking any custom orders.
CUSTOM/COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED
