47、nd odors without pretreatments. 3. Prevents soil redeposition - Visa prevents dirt and oil transfer in the wash cycle. With no soil redeposition, Visa color stays bright and whites stay white wash after wash. Do not use fabric softeners on Visa polyester. Additional benefits of Visa polyester: Super
48、ior durability, Wrinkle resistance, Unbeatable color retention, Benefits wont wear or wash out. Apparel retains original weight, body and shape.
