To properly wash your Hedgren bag, avoid harsh methods and focus on gentle cleaning techniques.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Spot Clean First: For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth or baby wipe to gently wipe the affected area on the outside fabric.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, as it can damage the fabric and alter the color.
-
No Soaking: Submerging the bag in water is not recommended. Avoid soaking it.
-
Protect Leather Accents: If your bag has leather parts, avoid getting them wet. If they do get wet, wipe them dry immediately.
-
Air Dry Only: Hang the bag in a shady place to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the colors.
-
Deep Stain Removal:
- For deeper stains, prepare a solution of water and neutral soap.
- Apply the solution to the stained area using a soft cloth or brush.
- Gently scrub the stain.
- Wipe away the soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow the bag to air dry in a shady area.
Important Considerations:
- Always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the bag first to ensure it doesn't damage the fabric or color.
- Regular spot cleaning is generally sufficient to keep your Hedgren bag looking its best.
