Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is taut. If it feels stuck, try rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Stains on the cotton material.
For fresh stains, apply a mild detergent directly to the stain and gently rub. Wash the case according to the care instructions. For stubborn stains, a pre-treatment stain remover suitable for cotton may be used before washing.
Color transfer from decorations.
Ensure all fabric paints, inks, or dyes used for customization are fully dry and set according to their manufacturer's instructions before washing. Consider a color catcher sheet during the first wash if concerned about dye bleeding.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with natural fibers. Ironing the case while slightly damp can help soften the fabric. If using fabric markers or paints, ensure they are not applied too thickly, which can cause stiffness.
