PRODUCT CARE

***Caring for your myPOPtees t-shirt:

To keep your myPOPtees t-shirts looking fresh and vibrant, follow these care instructions:

1. Washing
Turn Inside Out: Always wash your t-shirts inside out to protect the print and color.
Use Cold Water: Wash in cold water to prevent shrinking and fading. Cold water is gentler on fabrics.
Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine to minimize wear and tear.

2. Detergent
Mild Detergent: Choose a mild detergent that is free of bleach and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and prints.
- **Avoid Fabric Softeners: These can break down the fibers over time and affect the print's adherence.


3. Drying
Air Dry: The best way to dry t-shirts is to hang them up or lay them flat to air dry. This helps maintain their shape and prevents shrinking. Avoid Direct Sunlight:  If drying outside, avoid direct sunlight to prevent colors from fading. Low Heat if Using Dryer: If you must use a dryer, select a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage.

4. Ironing
Low Heat: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Always iron the shirt inside out to avoid damaging the print.
Avoid Steaming Over Prints: Keep the iron away from printed areas to prevent melting or smudging.

5. Storage
Fold or Hang: Store your t-shirts folded or hung to avoid creases. If hanging, use padded hangers to prevent stretching at the shoulders.
Cool, Dry Place: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and mildew.

6. Spot Cleaning
Immediate Attention: For stains, treat them as soon as possible using a gentle stain remover or a paste of baking soda and water.
Test First: Always test any stain removal solution on a small, inconspicuous area first.

***Caring for your myPOPtees hats or caps:

Here are some tips for caring for your myPOPtees hats or caps to keep them in great condition:

1. Hand Washing

  • Fill a basin with cool water and a small amount of mild detergent or shampoo.

  • Spot clean any dirt or stains with a soft brush (like a toothbrush) before submerging the entire cap.

  • Soak the cap for 5-10 minutes, gently swirling it in the water.

  • Rinse with cool water to remove all soap.

  • Gently pat dry with a towel to remove excess water.

2. Avoid Machine Washing

Machine washing can damage the shape, color, and fabric of your cap, so it's best avoided unless specified by the care label.

3. Shape and Drying

After washing, use a clean towel or a ball to help the cap keep its shape as it dries. Air dry in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause shrinkage or fading.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Bleach and strong stain removers can damage the fabric, fade colors, and weaken stitching.

5. Store Properly

Store your caps in a dry, cool place. Use a cap holder or place them on a shelf, preferably upside down, to maintain their shape.

These steps will help your myPOPtees caps or hats, like the ones in your myPOPtees collection, last longer while staying fresh and vibrant!

 

***To keep your myPOPtees coffee or tea mugs in great condition, here are some instructions:

1. Hand Wash Preferred
Although some mugs are labeled as dishwasher-safe, **hand washing** is recommended to preserve the design and finish. Use a **soft sponge** or cloth with mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, which can scratch the mug's surface or fade

2. Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes

Sudden temperature changes (like pouring boiling water into a cold mug) can cause cracks. **Warm the mug gradually** by rinsing it with warm water before adding hot liquids.

3. Be Cautious with Microwaving
If your mug is microwave-safe, avoid **microwaving it for too long**, as prolonged heat exposure can damage the print or the material.

4. Dry Thoroughly
After washing, **let the mug air dry completely** or dry it with a soft towel to avoid water spots or mildew buildup, especially around the handle.

5. Store Carefully
To prevent chipping, **store mugs carefully** by not stacking them unless they are specifically designed for stacking. Ensure they are placed in a dry, cool cabinet.


6. Handle with Care
Avoid banging or knocking** your mug against hard surfaces, as ceramic mugs can chip or crack easily if mishandled.

These tips will help your MyPopTees mugs stay in perfect shape, so you can continue enjoying your tea or coffee in style!
