CARE
INSTRUCTIONS
To help
maximise the durability and life of your canvas panniers please follow these instructions:
·
Prior to using your luggage we recommend that you thoroughly
wet the bags with a hose & let them dry fully in the sun.
This is necessary to allow the fabric to settle & the stitching to
swell into the stitch holes. Failure
to do so may cause leakage in initial exposure to rain.
·
Store or pack away only when clean & dry.
·
To remove dirt, brush dry fabric with a soft brush.
An occasional hosing may remove dust and some ingrained dirt.
·
Never scrub the fabric.
·
Do not expose to petrol or oil.
·
Remove deposits of soil, pollutants, vehicle exhaust etc as
soon as possible.
·
Remove any mildew, as it appears, first by brushing, then by
treating with diluted household chlorine bleach (1part bleach to 4 parts water
to achieve 1% available chlorine). Allow
to dry in full sun, then hose to remove any residue.
Do not use strong bleach or “pool chlorine.”
· Do not use soaps, detergents, solvents or other liquid cleaners.
