How to Properly Care for Your Bags and Extend Their Lifespan
2025-10-30
1、 General maintenance principles
（1）Waterproof and moisture-proof
- Avoid exposure to rain or liquids, especially materials such as suede and vegetable tanned leather that are prone to water absorption. If it gets wet, immediately dry it with a soft cloth to avoid wiping and spreading the stain.
- Moist environments are prone to mold growth. When storing, it is necessary to maintain ventilation and dryness, and moisture-proof agents can be placed (away from the leather).
（2）Sunburn protection
- Direct sunlight can cause leather to fade, harden, and even melt and crack the edges. Avoid windows or high-temperature areas when storing.
（3）Avoid scratching and heavy pressure
- Stay away from sharp objects in daily use to prevent surface scratches. When not in use, insert fillers (such as snow pear paper) into the bag to maintain the shape and avoid deformation.
（4）Regular cleaning
- Use a soft bristled brush or dry cloth to remove dust every week to prevent dust accumulation. Long term unused bags need regular ventilation to prevent mold growth.
2、 Cleaning methods for different materials
（1） Leather bags (cowhide, sheepskin, etc.)
- Daily cleaning:
- Dip a soft cloth into a small amount of professional leather cleaner, gently wipe the stains along the texture, and immediately absorb the moisture with a dry cloth after cleaning.
- Stubborn stains can be handled repeatedly, but the amount of cleaning agent needs to be controlled to avoid penetration.
（2）Canvas bag
- Daily cleaning:
- Control the water temperature below 30 ℃ to avoid deformation caused by high temperature.
- Gently rub with mild detergent (such as laundry detergent), and brush stubborn stains with a soft bristled brush.
- After cleaning, invert and dry to avoid direct sunlight exposure.
- Color fixing technique:
- Soak in salt water for 30 minutes before the first cleaning to prevent fading.
- When the white canvas bag turns yellow, it can be soaked in lemon juice or orange peel water and cleaned.
(3) Nylon bag
- Cleaning steps:
- Wipe the surface dust with a damp cloth, and gently brush stubborn stains with a soft bristled brush.
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a dry towel to avoid direct sunlight exposure.
- Regular maintenance:
- Regularly clean the interior to prevent the growth of mold.
- Neutral cleaning agents can be used for special stains, but local compatibility testing is required first.
