Cleaning Method of Canvas Bags

Canvas is a kind of thick cotton fabric, named after it was first used for sails by the Vikings of northern Europe in the eighth century. So some people think that sails and sailboats should appear at the same time, but this is not the case. Canvas has a very long history and has been widely used as early as the Roman times. Because the canvas is made of multi ply thread, it is firm, wearable, compact and thick. The ancient Romans used it to make wristbands for training eagles.

In the 1960s and 1970s in China, the military green sturdy canvas tote became a fashion item for each person. With the improvement of science and technology, textile skills have made great progress, and the variety of canvas is gradually increasing. In the 21st century, with the advent of environmental protection period, canvas has gained more recognition. Canvas will carry the new fashion concept and stride into the fashion field.

Canvas bags will inevitably have stains after a period of time, so we also need to clean our natural canvas tote bags regularly. Although the maintenance and cleaning of quality canvas tote bags are not as complicated and troublesome as leather bags, we still need to pay attention to them. So, how to clean canvas bags?

Initial washing requirements

Canvas bags are all made of cotton. For the sake of beauty, square canvas totes are colored when they are made. Although new canvas bags are usually treated before leaving the factory, there will still be a floating color on the surface of the organic canvas bags. The newly bought canvas bags may fade when they are washed for the first time after being used for a period of time. In order to prevent discoloration, we can add salt to the water first and then soak it for about 20 minutes. Then we start scrubbing so that the canvas bags don't fade easily.

Cold water

When washing mini canvas totes, it is best to wash them with cold water, while hot water is easy to burn them. Canvas bag is made of cotton fabric, so we should not use detergent containing bleaching ingredients. And it is better not to use detergent with fluorescent components, otherwise the cotton canvas shopping bags will fade and become very ugly.

Amount of detergent

The personalised canvas tote bag is made of cotton. If it is not cleaned well, it will fade. Therefore, the amount of detergent should be reduced as much as possible. If there are oil stains or other stubborn stains on the waxed canvas bag, you can use detergent to clean it, but you can't use too much. Other parts can be washed gently in clean water without detergent.

Airing

After the canvas bag is cleaned, it needs to be hung to dry. It is better to put it in a cool and ventilated place to avoid the sun. High temperature will also make the canvas bag fade. If there are stitched leather on the canvas grocery bag, it will become hard and brittle after being exposed to the sun, causing damage to the bag.
