How to Clean Your Boxy Backpack
Follow these steps to clean your bag safely. Always test any cleaner on a hidden area first.
- Spot clean spills immediately: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently blot the spill. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain or affect the leatherette texture.
- For light cleaning, use a mild soap solution: Mix a small amount of gentle soap with water. Dampen a soft cloth, wring it out well, and wipe the affected area. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and air dry.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives: Do not use bleach, alcohol, or scrubbing pads. These can damage the faux leather finish and cause discoloration.
- Do not machine wash or submerge: The bag is water resistant, not waterproof. Submerging or machine washing can ruin the fabric and structure.
What to Expect Over Time
Slight discoloration, scratches, or change in texture may be visible in the leatherette faux leather textile over time. These small inconsistencies should not be considered a defect but rather add to the beauty and uniqueness of your bag. Regular spot cleaning and gentle handling will help maintain its appearance.
Daily Use Tips
The water-resistant lining makes it easy to wipe out minor spills inside the bag. Use the included stroller straps to hang the bag from your stroller, keeping it off the ground and reducing wear. Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
