What is Ozone cleaning?

Products are assessed at our warehouse and we have a very thorough quality control and cleaning process.

We use an Ozone chamber to disinfect items, removing up to 99% of bacteria, it also breaks down odours rather than simply masking them. This means that when you buy your Second Hand items, they’ll smell as good as new!

Ozone cleaning is a sustainable laundry disinfection system which uses safe O3 gas at low temperatures, harnessing the natural power of ozone to kill bacteria, moulds, yeasts, and viruses. Ozone carries an electrical and chemical charge, which neutralises bacteria when injected into water during a wash cycle.

What happens to items that cannot be resold?

It’s our aim is to keep PO.P product out of landfill – and to reuse as much as possible. So, we will hold on to anything that can’t be resold; and once we have enough volume, we will upcycle, recycle, downcycle, disassemble, compost or donate depending on the product type..

I have a coat without a hood, will this be accepted?
