Product Information

Full details

These Homeslates 90L moving bags are designed for individuals undertaking house moves, needing storage solutions, or preparing for travel. Their key benefit is providing durable, water-resistant protection for belongings, with a unique selling point of reinforced backpack straps for comfortable, hands-free carrying. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof, so extreme exposure should still be avoided. The bags offer a spacious 90-liter capacity, are made from tough polypropylene, and feature clear panels for easy content identification and tag pockets for labeling.

FAQs

What is the capacity of these moving bags?

Each bag has a capacity of 90 liters, which is roughly equivalent to the space needed for a king-size duvet and its bedding, with extra room.

Are these bags completely waterproof?

The bags are made from water-resistant polypropylene, meaning they can protect contents from splashes and light moisture. However, they are not designed for submersion and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may still allow water ingress.

How do I label the bags?

Each bag features a built-in tag pocket on the side, making it simple to insert a label for easy identification of contents.

Can I carry these bags as a backpack?

Yes, the bags are equipped with reinforced backpack straps, allowing for comfortable, hands-free carrying. This is particularly useful for navigating stairs or longer distances.

How should I clean the bags?

Wipe the bags clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use mild soap and water, then rinse or wipe thoroughly. Ensure the bags are completely dry before storing.

What are the dimensions of the bags when folded?

When folded flat for storage, the bags measure approximately 20cm x 26cm x 3cm.

What is the recommended maximum weight for the reinforced handles?

While the handles are reinforced to withstand heavy loads, specific weight limits are not provided. It is recommended to distribute weight evenly and avoid overfilling to ensure longevity and ease of carrying.

Troubleshooting

Bag feels less sturdy than expected.

Ensure the bag is fully open and the double zip closure is properly engaged. For heavier items, distribute weight evenly and utilize the backpack straps for better load bearing.

Contents got wet during transport.

While water-resistant, the bags are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the material is not compromised.

Backpack straps feel uncomfortable with heavy loads.

Adjust the backpack straps for a snug fit. Consider the weight distribution within the bag; if one side is significantly heavier, it may cause discomfort. For very heavy items, use the reinforced handles and carry with a partner if possible.

Bag is difficult to fold flat.

Empty the bag completely and ensure there are no items obstructing the fold. Gently press down on the bag to encourage it to flatten along its natural creases. Make sure the zippers are fully closed.

  • Transparent panels and tag pockets enhance organization and retrieval.
  • Durable construction suggests a long lifespan compared to single-use boxes.

Cons

  • Water-resistant, not fully waterproof; prolonged exposure to heavy rain may still affect contents.
  • While durable, the material may be susceptible to punctures from sharp objects.
  • The 90L size might be too large for very small storage spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These bags require no assembly. Simply unpack and open them to begin filling.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most standard moving and storage environments, including vehicles, storage units, attics, garages, and dorm rooms. The flat folding design allows them to fit into compact spaces when not in use.

Care:

To clean, wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher stains, followed by a thorough rinse or wipe-down. Allow the bags to air dry completely before folding and storing to prevent mildew.

Storage:

When not in use, fold the bags flat by first emptying them completely. Fold them along the natural creases until they are approximately 20 x 26 x 3cm. Store in a dry place.
