Care instructions: the right way to clean your backpack
How do I "wash" my backpack?
Occasionally, even a rucksack needs cleaning. Either because it is dirty or smells bad. With the right backpack care, your backpack will last longer and protect the contents as it did on the first day of use.
Important: NEVER(!) wash the backpack in the washing machine - not even on delicate wash or hand wash programs!
If the backpack is slightly soiled:
- Larger soiling on the outside can be removed with a brush. Treat stains with a damp cloth or sponge.
- Turn the backpack inside out so that the inner side is now on the outside.
- Shake well so that loose dirt such as dust and grime fly off.
- Wipe off rough spots with a damp cloth or sponge.
- Hang the rucksack in a warm place and leave to dry completely.
If the rucksack is very dirty:
- Rinse the upturned rucksack in a bath or shower. If you have a bathtub, you can also "bathe" the backpack in it. You can also use a gentle detergent.
- Gently clean the dirty areas with a sponge or cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly with water. Squeeze out the padding such as the hip belt and shoulder straps and remove the detergent.
- Hang the rucksack in an airy, warm place out of direct sunlight and allow it to dry completely before stowing it away again.
Hang the opened backpack in a place where it can dry thoroughly.
Last but not least: never store your rucksack damp! It's best to leave it upside down to dry and check with your hands to see if there are any damp spots.

The materials that contain the water are considered to be water separators so that they do not leak. These materials generally have a special coating.

However, hydrofuges are less robust than impermeable materials.
