Amiga Tote
 
This bag is made to withstand machine washing. However, we recommend to spot clean for as long as possible and wash it by hand if necessary. This will help maintain the sturdiness of the canvas in the main structure of the bag and avoid shrinking.
Spot cleaning instructions:

  • Marks:
    • Depending on the type of mark, you may be able to get rid of it by rubbing a white eraser.
    • For tougher marks, damp a cloth with a solution of water and mild detergent and rub area in circular motion.
    • Oily stains: Apply 3% hydrogen peroxide (commonly found in pharmacies). Rub stained area in circular motion using dry cloth. Start with a small amount and increase as needed until desired result is achieved.

 Hand washing instructions:

    • Mix together a solution of cold water and mild detergent.
    • Damp a cloth with the solution and gently scrub the areas of the bag you would like to clean, using circular motion.
    • Brush areas with accentuated dirt or marks.
    • Do not bleach.
    • Drying:
      • Use a towel to pat dry the bag. Remove any spots of water accumulation and flatten wrinkled spots.
      • Hang the bag by its handles in a well-ventilated area and let it air dry completely.

    Please note that machine washing your bag will cause it to shrink 10-15% and may occur colour bleeding from the pockets to the main panel. If you still would like to do so, please follow the instructions below:

    • Machine wash cold, delicate cycle. You may need to run the bag through two or even three cycles in the first time you wash the bag, as canvas is water repellent when new.
    • Do not bleach.
    • Drying: Hang the bag by its handles in a well-ventilated area and let it air dry completely.
    • If needed, iron on medium heat setting.
