To ensure the longevity of your duffel and maintain its appearance:
Spot Cleaning: For most dirt and grime, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Gently wipe the affected area.
Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Stubborn Stains: For more challenging stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents as they can damage the material and coatings.
Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean and free of debris. If a zipper becomes stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or even a wax crayon to the teeth.
Storage: When not in use, store the duffel in a cool, dry place, ideally uncompressed to maintain its shape.
