Daily Care

🏠

Store Properly

Hang your bag or place it in a cool, dry area when not in use. Avoid cramming it into small, damp spaces.

⚖️

Avoid Overloading

Don't exceed compartment capacity. Excessive weight can strain zippers and seams over time.

✏️

Protect Sharp Objects

Place pens and pencils in a pencil case to prevent punctures inside the bag lining.

🤐

Close All Zippers

Secure all zippers and fasteners before carrying or storing to protect contents and prolong zipper life.

🧽

Spot Cleaning

For light dirt & stains

Empty the bag — remove all books, stationery and accessories first.

Shake out debris — turn upside down and gently shake to remove loose dirt or crumbs.

Mix mild detergent — a small amount of liquid detergent with lukewarm water.

Dab the stain — use a soft cloth or sponge to gently blot the stained area.

Rinse with clean water — wipe off detergent residue with a clean damp cloth.

Air dry completely — let the bag dry fully before using again.

🫧

Deep Cleaning

For thorough cleaning

Empty & shake — remove all contents and shake out loose debris.

Brush off dust — use a soft brush to remove surface dust and dirt.

Prepare cleaning solution — mild detergent with water. No bleach or harsh cleaners.

Clean gently — use a soft brush or sponge on all fabric surfaces, inside and out.

Rinse well — wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove all soap residue.

Air dry only — hang upside down in a shaded, well-ventilated area. No direct sunlight.

Zippers & Hardware

🤐

Zippers

Wipe metal or plastic teeth with a damp cloth. If a zipper sticks, rub a small amount of graphite (pencil) or zipper lubricant on the teeth.

🔗

Buckles & Straps

Clean buckles with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly to prevent rust or discolouration.

Stain-Specific Tips

🖊️

Ink Marks

Dab lightly with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Always test in a hidden area first.

🌧️

Mud & Dirt

Let mud dry completely first, then brush off before wiping with a damp cloth.

🍕

Grease or Oil

Apply a small amount of mild dish soap directly to the spot, let sit for a few minutes, then blot gently.

🌸

Odour Control & Storage

💨

Air It Out

Leave the bag open in a well-ventilated area regularly to keep it fresh and odour-free.

🧂

Baking Soda

Sprinkle a small amount inside overnight, then shake out to absorb odours naturally.

📦

Long-Term Storage

Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing. Cover with a breathable cloth and avoid stacking heavy objects on top.

☀️

Keep Dry

Always store in a dry area to prevent mildew. Never store a damp bag in a closed space.
