Canvas
Canvas items, such as shoes and bags, are popular for their durability and versatility. Proper care can help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Handling canvas
Treat new canvas items with a stain and water repellent before you start wearing them. Follow the product instructions for best results.
For smelly shoes, sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight. Shake out the excess baking soda in the morning. Alternatively, use odour-absorbing insoles.
Cleaning canvas
Remove any dirt and stains as soon as they appear using a soft-bristle brush or a toothbrush.
Spot-clean with a mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the stained areas with a soft brush or cloth, working in circular motions. Repeat as needed.
For shoes, wash the laces and insoles (if removable) separately by soaking them in soapy water.
Rinse with cold water but avoid soaking the item.
Some canvas products can be machine washed, please check the care instructions. If your products allow for machine wash, place them in a mesh laundry bag and wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using bleach.
Drying canvas
Allow your canvas items to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Stuff items like shoes and bags with newspaper or paper towels to help them retain their shape and absorb excess moisture.
Storing canvas
Ensure the items are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odours.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Stuff shoes with paper or shoe trees and bags with towels or tissue paper to maintain their shape during storage.
