General Care
Wash all salt and dirt deposits off
Take care to thoroughly clean bag wheels when they have been travelling across
rough ground and sand.
Be careful not to get bag tags or foreign items trapped around the wheels, this will
cause wheel jams and prevent you from wheeling the bag around easily.
Hard side cleaning care
To clean hard side elements of bags, we recommend using a gentle soap and
warm water, rinsing well. Dry the bag completely in the shade before storing it.
Soft side cleaning care
To clean soft side elements of bags, we recommend cleaning with a mild soap (i.e.
dish soap) and warm water. Dry the bag completely in the shade before storing it.
Odours in bags
If the bag has an offensive odour there are a few tips to help remove it. Please
note some bags may not be suitable for the following methods, you must check
and contact us if you are unsure.
1. Use a vinegar (1 part) and water (5 parts) mixture. This may take the odour out
but it will then need to be aired out for a few days.
2. Placing charcoal in the bag for a day or more (depending on the strength of the
odour) and close the bag. The charcoal will absorb the smell.
3. Sprinkle dry baking soda all over the inside and outside of the bag and leave it
for an hour or more, then vacuum it out.
4. Mix half a cup of lemon juice with half a cup of water and spray it all over the
bag. Let it dry naturally in an area not directly under sunlight.
Zip care
Zip pullers can jam with salt and dirt so keeping them clean is essential. Immerse
zips in water or use silicone spray for maintenance. Most zips will burst due to
over packing but can be easily recovered by zipping back to the beginning and re-
zipping. The teeth should re-connect, however do not force them.
