Casco Totes bags are not only versatile, but they are also easy to care for. Made from recycled sails, they've already been tried and tested at sea and require little attention during everyday use. So don't be afraid to wash recycled sail tote bags; just follow these simple tricks, and you'll see that sailcloth bag care is like a breeze.
Most sail bags are safe to machine wash as they do not shrink or deform like canvas bags. Still, use this method sparingly, especially if your bag has vintage insignia, black or navy handles, or high-performance sailcloth.
Sailcloth bag care in the machine: wash recycled sail tote bags in a gentle wash cycle with cold water using clear detergent, then hang them by the handles to air dry. That's it! Do not use bleach or the dryer, as they can damage sail bags!
While you can machine wash recycled sail tote bags, it's often not necessary. A simple spot clean will do the trick in most cases; just be sure to try the stain remover on a hidden area first to see if it reacts with the sailcloth. Also, if you clean your bag outdoors, use a natural cleaning product to protect the environment.
Care of sail bag with spot cleaning:
Voilà, your bag is as good as new; no need to use aggressive stain removers or brushes.
All our bags are water resistant! They are made from 100% recycled sailcloth, so they can take a lot of water (That's why it's also safe to wash recycled sail tote bags). However, there are always parts that are a bit more delicate such as the seams, cotton webbing handles, and zippers.
Casco Totes uses marine-grade materials and corrosion-resistant zippers that can withstand rain and water but to make your bag long-lasting, try to avoid extreme scenarios. So if you drop your bag in the puddle once or twice, it will be fine. If you take it snorkeling (why would you, though?), it won't love that.
Recycled sailcloth totes sometimes have stains from their previous life spent at sea. These are more visible on white cloth and can't be removed, but we think that only makes them more unique!
As for new stains, gentle sailcloth bag care is the best approach for white bags. Avoid chlorine bleach as it can turn the fabric yellow; just wipe them down with a wet cloth and enjoy them as they are: full of personality, patina, and a story to tell.
