How to clean canvas bags
To clean your canvas bags, start by emptying the bag and shaking out any debris. Then, spot treat stains with a mild soap or detergent mixed with water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the stained areas. For tougher stains, let the soap sit for a few minutes before scrubbing. Rinse the bag thoroughly with cold water to remove any soap residue. Hang the bag to air dry completely but avoid direct sunlight which can cause fading. If needed, you can also machine wash the bag on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
