How To Clean Your Bags Correctly

To meet the demands of the hospitality, restaurant, and retail homeware businesses, we provide a broad selection of handcrafted aprons and bags. Each bag is meticulously manufactured, and each apron can be customized to reflect your brand. The expert in waxed canvas aprons in Australia is Kennedy Smith Design.

The material becomes dirty as the clutter accumulates.

However, your trusted bag is more likely to break if it is both misused and underappreciated. Additionally, it seems to reason that bags should be treated with the same respect that we do for ourselves because they frequently function as extensions of our personalities and daily routines. Take care of your luggage to ensure that it lasts a lifetime, whatever your daily routine requires. Here are eight potential materials for your bag, along with cleaning instructions for each.

The first few days of owning a new bag are the honeymoon phase: we, Kennedy Smith Designs keep the straps in check, try to shield it from the rain, and inspect every inch for unwanted stains. But once it’s broken in—and the cloth has become used to holding our things—we forget about it.

The clutter builds up; the material turns grimy.

But when your trusty bag is both overused and unappreciated, it’s more likely to give out. And since bags tend to be extensions of our personalities and daily activities, it makes sense that they deserve the same care that we give to ourselves. So, whatever your daily routine demands, take care of your bag to help it last a lifetime. Here are eight different materials that your bag might be made of and all the ways to help you keep them clean.

Leather

Italian leather is associated with high-end luxury items, whose material is sourced from only the best quality hides. While full-grain leather, bonded leather, and genuine leather have varying degrees of quality, they all need the same gentle touch during cleaning.

Nylon or Cordura

Nylon and Cordura are often used for backpacks because the heavy-duty weave of the fabric makes it water-repellent and tear-proof. This is why it’s ideal for people who need bags to keep up with their active lifestyles. Carry heavy school books or tuck in your weekend hiking gear.

Cotton Canvas or Waxed Canvas

Cotton Canvas is commonly used for casual totes or body slings because the rough woven cotton material gives off a casual vibe and its material is one of the easiest to clean! If you encounter stains, handwash them the way you would your clothes. Run cold water over the stain and add some liquid soap.

After purchasing your leather bag, it’s good practice to protect it with an appropriate leather cream. This helps to shield it from light scratches and the occasional accidental spill. In case the latter happens, we recommend cleaning its surface with a clean cloth and leather cleaner.

Also, it’s good to check if the store you purchased your bag at offers deep cleaning services. If they do, we recommend that you bring it over every so often for a more professional cleaning. Don’t forget to ask for tips and tricks to help you enjoy wine night stain-free.

In case you ever find that your backpack is muddy and stained because of a particularly rainy day, It’s best to clean this kind of bag with baking soda. Brush some over the stain to prevent this from seeping further into the cloth. Afterward, scrub with wet detergent. This method works well with denim or neoprene bags, too!

If you’re out with your friends when your bag gets an oil stain, a few swipes of rubbing alcohol work. What if you forget (or didn’t notice) that the stain stayed overnight? Just use a microfiber cleansing solvent, press it firmly onto the stain for 15 seconds and blot it with water afterward.

A canvas bag that is coated with beeswax is water-resistant and tear-proof. However, this additional coating doesn’t make it stain-proof. After a trip to the grocery store, take some time to scrub meat stains off gently with liquid soap and cold water. You can always have the bag recoated with wax later on.

While your fashion choices can say a lot about your personality or social status, the care you take care with them can tell a different story. Make your things last—after all, every item you purchase is an investment to both your wardrobe and the environment.
