TOQUILLA STRAW BAGS CARE
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Toquilla straw bag, please follow these care instructions:
-
Gentle Cleaning:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to clean your bag. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with lukewarm water (not soaking) and gently wipe away dust or dirt.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as these can damage the natural fibers.
-
Drying:
- If your bag gets wet, it’s important to let it dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent the straw from fading or drying out excessively.
- Allow the bag to air dry naturally. Do not use blow dryers or any intense heat sources that could distort its shape.
-
Proper Storage:
- Store your bag in a dry, cool place, away from excessive humidity, which could affect the texture of the fibers.
- If your bag has a structured shape, you can stuff it with paper or fabric to help maintain its form when not in use.
-
Avoid Water Exposure:
- While Toquilla straw bags are durable, it’s best to avoid prolonged contact with water, as it may warp or weaken the fibers.
-
Protect the Color:
- To prevent fading, keep your straw bag out of direct sunlight for long periods.
- In humid or rainy conditions, use a fabric protective cover or store the bag in a protective pouch when not in use.
-
Avoid Overloading:
- Do not overload your bag with heavy items, as this could distort or damage the fibers. Be sure to evenly distribute the weight inside the bag to maintain its shape.
By following these care instructions, your Toquilla straw bag will stay in excellent condition for years to come. Enjoy its natural beauty and timeless style!
