🧼 How to Clean Your Cork & Fabric Handmade Bag
Step 1: Gently Rinse the Bag
Start by lightly rinsing your bag under running water. This prepares the surface for cleaning by loosening dirt and dust. Make sure to cover all parts of the bag, including the inner lining. Avoid soaking the bag entirely, damp is enough.
Step 2: Clean Patterned Areas with a Sponge
For the areas with colorful fabric motifs or printed designs, always use a soft sponge and clean gently. Avoid scrubbing, as it may damage the print or cause fading. Move the sponge in a light circular motion with a mild soap solution. This will help maintain the color brightness.
Step 3: Scrub Cork Surface Lightly with a Brush
The cork parts of your bag can be cleaned using a soft-bristled clothes brush. Gently scrub the surface to lift deeper dirt and stains. Cork is naturally water-resistant, but still requires delicate handling. Use minimal pressure to preserve its texture and unique grain.
Step 4: Rinse & Press the Bag Carefully
After cleaning, rinse the entire bag with clean water to remove any soap residue. To dry, press the bag gently with your hands to release excess water. Do not wring or twist, as this could warp the shape or damage stitching.
Step 5: Air Dry Under the Sun
Hang your bag or lay it flat in a well-ventilated area under natural sunlight for 2 to 3 hours. Sun drying not only helps eliminate moisture but also refreshes the material. Avoid drying in humid or enclosed areas.
Taking care of your cork and fabric handmade bag is simple and rewarding. With just a few mindful cleaning habits, your Deshin bag will stay stylish, durable, and ready to carry your story. Wherever life takes you.
