How to Clean a Canvas Bag
- 1). Empty the bag and turn it inside out. Shake out any crumbs dust, or other dirt and debris that may have accumulated inside the bag. Gently vacuum the bottom of the bag if there is still dirt collected around the seams.
- 2). Dampen a clean sponge with water and a small amount of mild laundry detergent. Look for a detergent that is formulated for hand washing. Gently blot at any stains in the fabric.
- 3). Rinse the sponge thoroughly and dampen again with clean water. Gently blot at the surface of the bag for an overall clean. Do not rub, especially over areas that have dye or appliqués.
- 4). Lay the canvas bag flat to dry. Avoid pulling at or stretching the fabric while it is wet. Allow the material to dry completely before using again.
