Care Instructions

Spot Clean Only: Waxed canvas should not be machine washed or dry cleaned, as this can damage the wax coating.
Use a Damp Cloth: Gently wipe away dirt or stains using a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using soaps or detergents, which can strip the wax from the canvas.
Avoid Scrubbing: For tougher spots, gently rub the area in circular motions, but do not scrub aggressively, as this can damage the fabric and wax finish.
Dry Naturally: After cleaning, allow the backpack to air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid drying it in direct sunlight, which can cause the wax to break down over time.

Re-Waxing: Over time, the wax coating may wear off, especially in high-use areas. To restore water resistance, reapply a layer of wax specifically designed for waxed canvas products (available in most outdoor or specialty stores).

Keep It Dry: When not in use, store your waxed canvas backpack in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in damp areas, as moisture can lead to mold or mildew growth.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the canvas color and break down the wax coating. Store your backpack away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and water resistance.
Avoid Compression: Store your backpack in an upright position or flat to avoid creases or pressure marks, which can distort the wax coating over time.

Oil or Grease Stains: For oil-based stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on the affected area to absorb the grease. Let it sit for a few hours, then gently brush it off with a soft cloth.
Mud and Dirt: Allow mud or dirt to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using water, as this can push dirt deeper into the fabric.
Avoid Chemical Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or bleach on waxed canvas, as they can degrade the wax coating and the fabric.

Smoothing Creases: Waxed canvas naturally develops creases and wrinkles over time. If you wish to smooth these out, use a hairdryer to gently heat the fabric and massage the area until the creases reduce.
Maintaining the Patina: As the waxed canvas ages, it will develop a natural patina, giving your backpack a weathered and unique look. This is part of the charm of waxed canvas, and no special treatment is needed to preserve the patina.

By following these simple care instructions, your waxed canvas backpack will continue to look great and protect your belongings for years to come!

To ensure the longevity and performance of your waterproof RPET backpack, follow these simple care instructions:

Regular Cleaning: Wipe down your RPET backpack with a damp cloth to remove dirt or dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as they may damage the fabric.
Spot Cleaning: For stains, gently spot clean with mild soap and water. Use a soft brush or cloth and rinse thoroughly with water. Allow the backpack to air dry naturally.
Avoid Heat: Keep your RPET backpack away from high heat sources, including dryers, direct sunlight, or heaters, as excessive heat can degrade the waterproof coating.
Storage: When not in use, store your backpack in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or compressing the bag for long periods to maintain the fabric's shape and waterproof integrity.
Reinforcing Waterproofing: The waterproof coating on RPET fabric is durable, but over time, you may apply a spray-on waterproofing agent (designed for synthetic fabrics) to maintain maximum water resistance.

With proper care, your RPET backpack will continue to provide long-lasting performance and protection.
