Care Tips – How to Keep Your Bags Looking New for Years
CARE TIPS: HOW TO KEEP YOUR BAGS LOOKING NEW FOR YEARS
A bag is more than an accessory — it’s a daily companion. And like any trusted companion, it deserves care. With the right maintenance, your UrbanBags backpack, tote, duffle, or handbag can look fresh and function flawlessly for years. Here’s how to keep your bags in top shape.
1. Clean Regularly, But Gently
Wipe your bag with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For fabric bags, spot clean with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage colours or weaken materials.
2. Store Them Properly
Keep your bags in a cool, dry place. When not in use, stuff them lightly with tissue or soft fabric to help maintain their shape. Store in a dust bag (or pillowcase) to protect from scratches and sunlight.
3. Material-Specific Care
Different bags require different care routines. Here’s a quick guide:
| Material | Care Tips |
|---|---|
| Canvas | Spot clean with mild soap; air dry only. |
| Leather | Use leather conditioner; avoid water exposure. |
| Nylon/Polyester | Wipe with damp cloth; avoid high heat drying. |
| Faux Leather | Clean with damp cloth; keep away from sharp objects. |
4. Don’t Overload
Overstuffing stretches seams, zippers, and straps, reducing lifespan. Carry only what your bag is designed to hold to preserve its structure.
5. Rotate Your Bags
Using the same bag every day wears it out faster. Rotating between different bags not only keeps your style fresh but also gives each bag time to rest and maintain its condition.
Conclusion
With a little care, your bags can look brand-new for years to come. By cleaning gently, storing properly, and using them mindfully, you extend both their style and durability. At UrbanBags, we design bags to last — and with these tips, you’ll enjoy them even longer.
