General Olefin/PP Fibre Care Tips
 
1.   Most stains on fabric can be readily removed by spotting with lukewarm water and detergent.
2.   Bleaches can be used if needed.
3.   If fabric is laundered, it should be line dried or tumble dried with gentle heat or no heat. Olefin dries very rapidly.
4.   Do not iron. (For specific instructions, refer to garment's sewn-in care label.)
