Neoprene
November 17 2023 8:43pmNeoprene is mostly chill but still deserves some love and attention. Neoprene can be hand washed in cold water with gentle soap. Reshape when wet. Lay flat to dry.
Alcohol, acetone, and oil are all really bad for neoprene, so avoid at all costs. Don’t machine wash because the hardware might chip. Hardware should also be handled with care. Creasing and pilling may occur but is easily remedied. Just steam in downward strokes, and use a fabric shaver to remove pilling.
Be cautious when wearing denim and other dark fabrics, as they can transfer onto the lighter colored bags.
Don’t overexpose to light, heat, or water, and not sure why you would, but don’t rub the material excessively.
