Care Tips for Your Insulated Lunch Bag

To help you get the most out of your bag, we've put together some handy care tips. Following these guidelines will keep your bag looking great and performing its best for many lunches to come.

Everyday Use Tips

  1. Pack Smart: Use reusable lunchboxes and containers to prevent spills. If something does leak, the removable foil liner makes cleanup a breeze.
  2. Temperature Control: For best insulation, use ice packs to keep your food fresh and cool.
  3. Gentle Handling: Avoid overloading your bag to maintain its shape and longevity. The sturdy construction will serve you well with reasonable care.

Cleaning Instructions

  1. Regular Wipe-Downs: After each use, rinse and wipe the interior and the removeable foil liner with a damp cloth and mild detergent. This helps to prevent odours and buildup.
  2. Deep Cleaning:
    • Remove the Liner: Take out the foil liner.
    • Hand Wash Only: Both the polyester exterior and the inner foil liner should be washed by hand. Use warm water, a gentle soap, and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh and abrasive chemicals that could damage the fabric and foil surfaces. Do not immerse in water as it can damage the inner foam insulation.
    • Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure to rinse away all soap residues.
    • Air Dry: Allow both the bag and the liner to air dry completely before reassembling. Do not use a dryer or place them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading or damage.

Storing Your Bag

  1. Clean and Dry: Always store your lunch bag clean and dry to prevent mould and mildew.
  2. Loosely Packed: Store the bag loosely packed in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it under heavy items to maintain its shape.
  3. Strap Storage: If you're not using the shoulder strap, remove it and store it separately to avoid unnecessary wear.

Additional Tips

  • Avoid the Washing Machine and Dishwasher: The agitation and high temperatures can damage the insulation and the materials.
  • Strap Care: The long shoulder strap is removable for easy cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
  • Inspect Regularly: Check the seams and zippers regularly. Address any small issues promptly to prevent them from becoming bigger problems.
