To ensure your Fjällräven Kånken Backpack remains in excellent condition:
Cleaning: The Vinylon fabric is generally easy to clean. For minor dirt or stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron.
Drying: If the backpack gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Storage: When not in use, store the backpack in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed or with heavy items on top to maintain its shape.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and color.
Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean and free of debris. If they become stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant can help.
Reflective Logo: Periodically wipe the reflective logo to ensure its effectiveness is not diminished by dirt.
