Troubleshooting
Ice pack not staying cold for long
Ensure the ice pack was frozen solid (minimum 4-6 hours). Use it in a well-insulated container and avoid frequent opening. For longer durations, consider using multiple ice packs or a larger size.
Ice pack leaks after freezing
Inspect the ice pack for any punctures or tears. If a leak is found, discontinue use to prevent damage to contents. Contact customer support if within warranty.
Fabric feels stiff or brittle after freezing
This can happen if frozen for extended periods at very low temperatures. Allow it to thaw slightly before use. Ensure proper storage and avoid extreme freezing conditions.
Difficult to clean
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning. For tougher spots, let it thaw slightly and gently scrub. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely.
