FAQs

What is the capacity of each bag?

Each Homeslates moving bag has a capacity of 90 liters.

Are these bags truly waterproof?

The bags are made from water-resistant polypropylene, which protects against splashes and light moisture. They are not designed for submersion and should not be considered fully waterproof.

How do the backpack straps work?

The bags feature two reinforced backpack straps that can be worn over the shoulders, allowing for hands-free carrying. This is ideal for navigating stairs or carrying items over longer distances.

Can I label the bags easily?

Yes, each bag includes a built-in tag pocket specifically designed for inserting a label card, making it easy to identify contents without external markers.

How do I store the bags when not in use?

The bags are designed to fold flat to a compact size (approximately 20 x 26 x 3cm), allowing for easy storage under beds, in closets, or in car boots.

What is the best way to clean the bags?

Wipe the bags with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Ensure they are thoroughly dry before folding and storing.

Are these bags suitable for long-term storage?

Yes, the water-resistant material and secure zip closure make them suitable for protecting items from dust and moisture during long-term storage in environments like lofts or garages.

Troubleshooting

Bag zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of silicone lubricant or even a pencil lead can sometimes help smooth the action.

Handles feel strained with heavy items

Distribute the weight evenly within the bag. Avoid overfilling. Consider using the backpack straps for better weight distribution if the load is substantial.

Bag has a persistent odor

Air the bag out in a well-ventilated area for several days. Wipe the interior with a mild, diluted soap and water solution, then rinse with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely.

Transparent panel is scratched

Minor scratches are cosmetic and do not affect functionality. For deeper scratches, consider using a plastic polish specifically designed for clear plastics, following product instructions carefully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable and water-resistant construction protects belongings.
Hands-free carrying option with reinforced backpack straps enhances portability.
Transparent panels and tag pockets improve organization and accessibility.
Reusable and foldable design offers an eco-friendly alternative to single-use boxes.
Generous 90L capacity accommodates large items.

Cons

The large 90L size may be cumbersome for some users or small spaces.
While water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should not be exposed to heavy rain.
Backpack straps, while useful, may not be suitable for extremely heavy loads for extended periods.
The material, while durable, may be susceptible to sharp objects if not packed carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Homeslates moving bags require no assembly. Simply unfold them from their flat storage state and zip them open. Utilize the transparent panels and the integrated tag pocket for labeling contents before packing.

Compatibility: These bags are compatible with a wide range of items for moving, storage, or travel, including clothing, bedding, books, toys, and other household goods. They are designed to be reusable and can be stored in most home environments when folded flat.

Care: To clean the bags, wipe them down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the polypropylene material and the transparent panels. Ensure the bags are completely dry before folding and storing them to prevent mildew. While water-resistant, they are not waterproof; avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.
