HOW TO CLEAN A COTTON TOTE BAG

The sustainability and reusability of cotton tote bags is a major factor in the decision to replace plastic bags with them. To maintain their fresh appearance and odor-free quality, these beloved tote bags also require routine washing and upkeep, just like anything else. A basic cleaning guide for cotton tote bags is provided below:

1. Some bags can be washed in a machine, while others need to be spot cleaned or washed by hand.
2. Before beginning the cleaning procedure, empty the contents of your tote bag and give it a shake to remove any loose dirt or debris.
3. Before washing, you must pre-treat any stains that are readily apparent on the tote bag. After directly applying a paste of detergent or stain remover to the area, gently scrub it with a brush or sponge. Before continuing, let this pretreatment sit for a few minutes.
4. To avoid shrinking and fabric damage, you can, if applicable, wash your tote bag in a cold water cycle in the washing machine using a light detergent. Avoid washing the material with bulky things like pants or towels as this will cause the material to pill.
5. Handwash the tote bag with a mild laundry detergent in a pail of cold water, if needed. For severe soiling and spot cleaning, use a soft brush and gently swish the contents of the bucket to release any remaining dirt.
   
6. To get rid of any detergent residue left on the cotton tote bag, rinse it well with cold water after washing. Instead of wringing out the excess water, press down on the material to eliminate it as this would cause it to deform.
7. To let the tote bag air dry, put it up in an area that isn’t in direct sunlight. Additionally, you should refrain from using a dryer since the heat might cause the fabric to shrink, harm the material, and cause the bag to lose its shape.

You may reuse your cotton tote bag again and extend its lifespan according to these simple guidelines. Additionally, it will maintain your bag’s best-looking state so that it continues to be a fashionable addition to your travels!
