Product Care

Spray off both the outside and inside of your backpack frequently. 

To further prevent wear and tear, try to keep your backpack out of the dirt by hanging your backpack up where possible. 

If you really feel the need to get soap involved, get a tote or fill up your tub with water, and put just a little bit of that NikWax Tech Wash we mentioned before in there.

Soak your backpack in that mixture, scrub it a little bit, and the make sure it gets completely rinsed off. 

Once again, spraying off and cleaning your backpack is something that should be done frequently!
