Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since this bag is made of natural jute, it requires specific care to extend its lifespan. Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry the bag, as this will destroy the starch finish and cause the fibers to shrink or unravel. If the bag gets dirty, spot clean the affected area gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Keep the bag away from prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent mildew or discoloration of the natural jute fibers.
