Canvas

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.
