The Take Monday Care + Cleaning Guide

Your Take Monday pieces are designed to last as long as you. Keeping them clean helps them look their best while reducing the need for disposable plastic bags. With a little care, your pouches can stay clear, polished, and ready for every trip. 🙂

Cleaning Your Clear Pouches

🌎 Our transparent biodegradable plastic pouches are designed to be durable and easy to clean. However, light cloudiness, fine scratches, or product residue can happen over time as a natural side effect of biodegradable TPU, a sustainable alternative to conventional non-biodegradable plastics like PVC. 

For a natural clean, mix 1-part white vinegar and 1-part water. Dampen a soft microfibre cloth with the mixture and gently wipe the surface. To begin, test on a small, discreet area first and then work your way through the entire panel. Use a dry section of the cloth to buff away any remaining moisture. Make sure to remove all moisture as additional stains 

For tougher marks or light scratches, you may use a plastic-safe polish with a soft microfibre cloth. Always test on a small, discreet area first and avoid abrasive pads or rough fabrics. See our recommended option for your region here: [US],[CAN],[UK], [EU]. 

How To Clean

Step 1: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a small bowl or spray bottle.

Step 2: Lightly dampen a microfibre cloth with the mixture. Do not soak the pouch.

Step 3: Begin with a small, discreet area and gently wipe the clear panels in small circles until clean.

Step 4: Buff dry with a clean section of the cloth.

Step 5: Repeat as needed for makeup residue, fingerprints, or everyday travel marks.

Fabric And Trim Care

For canvas or fabric trims, we recommend using micellar water. Seour recommended option for your region here: [US],[CAN],[UK], [EU].

Use micellar water and a soft cotton round to gently dab the pouch clean. Follow with a light swipe of water, then wipe down with a fresh, dry cotton round. Allow the pouch to air dry fully before storing.

Avoid Excessive Heat

Please avoid leaving your pouch in direct sunlight for long periods, or placing hot styling tools directly inside. Excess heat may cause warping, fading, or damage to the clear panels.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Stay away from alcohol, acetone, bleach, and strong solvents, as these may damage the clear material or trim. For regular cleaning, stick with a microfibre cloth, micellar water, or the vinegar-and-water method above.
