The exterior of your bag or accessory can be simply spot cleaned or wiped down with water to get the majority of dirt and grime off. Use a gentle soapy mixture to scrub away any stubborn stains and then rinse thoroughly. The liner can be wiped clean similarly. Wipe clean and dry all hardware. DO NOT PUT YOUR BAG IN THE WASHING MACHINE and DO NOT PUT YOUR BAG IN THE DRYER. Any cleaning wears away at the exterior coatings and therefore reduces the water repellency of your bag, so always try the least destructive cleaning method first. DO NOT USE CHLORINE OR BLEACH BASED CLEANERS.
