Garment Care

How to care for you're product to last longer??

At Popea, we use the best natural fabrics to create easy breezy but good quality clothing so they can last you a long time. Once you have the garment, here are a few tips on taking care of it so it remains in a good condition and last longer. Please note that subtle variations in colour, prints, texture and finish are normal.

• Try to wash like colors together as it helps in color bleeds not transferring to your other clothes.
• Take special care of washing your garment the first 2-3 times to ensure minimal color bleeding and fading. Try to wash them just by themselves without mixing with any garments.
• Try to hand wash your clothes as much as you can by using mild detergent, mild soap and mild brushing. Do not soak it for too long or wring it too much. Hand washing is recommended as it is gentler on your clothing and leads to lesser color bleeds + shrinkage.
•  If you are washing your garments in a machine, use the cold setting or temperatures at or below 40 C. 
• Do not bleach.
• Your clothes can be dry cleaned without the use of trichloroethylene.
• Try not to tumble dry but if you do - make sure there is no temperature setting.
• Air dry your garments in shade and make sure to flip them inside out.
• We also recommend spot cleaning for stains.
• For fresh stains run the garment under water and gently rub 2-3 times or use really mild detergent /soap (your everyday bathing soap works too) to soak for 3-5 minutes and rinse throughly with water.
• Always iron inside out.
• Use warm to low heat while ironing.
