FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of each bag?
Each bag measures approximately 12 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 3 inches in height.
Can these bags be machine washed?
No, these bags are not machine washable. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for the vinyl and mild soap for the trim.
Are these bags waterproof?
These bags are designed to protect against dust and pests, but they are not waterproof. They are water-resistant to some degree but should not be relied upon to protect contents from significant moisture exposure.
What types of items are best suited for storage?
They are ideal for soft items like sweaters, t-shirts, linens, scarves, and other apparel. They are not recommended for heavy, sharp, or fragile items that require rigid protection.
Do the bags offer complete airtight sealing?
The nylon zipper provides a secure closure, but the breathable trim means they are not completely airtight. This design allows for some air circulation to prevent mustiness.
Can I store these bags in a damp environment like a basement?
While they offer protection, storing them in a consistently damp environment is not ideal, as it may still lead to moisture issues for the contents or the bag itself over time. Ensure the storage area is dry.
Troubleshooting
Bag smells musty
Ensure items stored inside are completely dry. Wipe the inside of the bag with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry thoroughly before storing items again. Ensure the breathable trim is not obstructed.
Zipper is difficult to open or close
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a bit of clear lip balm to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Minor tears in vinyl or fabric
For small tears, you can use clear packing tape or fabric repair tape on the inside to prevent further damage. However, significant damage may compromise the bag's protective capabilities.
Contents are dusty
Ensure the zipper was fully closed and that there are no gaps. Check the integrity of the seams and zipper for any potential breaches.
