Care Instructions & User Manual
−
Routine Care
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use.
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution; rinse and air dry.
For stubborn marks, use a soft brush with warm soapy water.
Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture.
Do Not
Machine wash cold only — do not use hot water, tumble dry, or dry clean.
Do not use chemical solvents, bleach, or silicone sprays.
Do not overfill — this will strain seams and reduce the life of your bag.
Do not store in sealed plastic bags for long periods — allow air circulation.
