Canvas backpacks offer a combination of practicality and fashion. Nonetheless, they are prone to gathering dirt, stains, and unpleasant smells as time passes. If your reliable canvas backpack is starting to look a bit shabby, no need to worry. This blog post will walk you through the process of properly washing your canvas backpack.
What You’ll Need
- A mild detergent
- A soft bristle brush or a toothbrush
- A clean towel
- Cold water
Steps to Wash Your Canvas Backpack
1. Empty the Backpack
Before proceeding, ensure your backpack is empty. Check all pockets and compartments to leave nothing behind.
2. Pre-treat Stains
If your canvas backpack has visible stains, you may need to pre-treat them. Apply a small amount of mild detergent directly to the stain and gently scrub with a soft bristle brush or toothbrush.
3. Prepare Your Washing Solution
Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water. Do not use hot water as it may cause the canvas to shrink or colours to bleed.
4. Wash the Backpack
Immerse your backpack in the solution and use your brush to gently scrub. Pay special attention to particularly dirty areas.
5. Rinse and Dry
Rinse your backpack thoroughly under cold running water. Make sure all detergent is removed. Then gently press out excess water and blot with a clean towel. Allow your backpack to air dry completely before using it again.
