Cleaning Tips

HOW BEST TO CLEAN A FAUX LEATHER BAG?

We always recommend avoiding the temptation to use a leather care cream on your M&B. bag.  

As faux leather is not an animal product, the leather care creams don't work the same way. This is, however, a great benefit of faux leather because 99% of stains or marks can be cleaned away with a light damp cloth and mild soap. (non-scented antibacterial kitchen wipes work great too!)

Please please please, do not put your nappy bag in the washing machine or submerse in water. 

HOW SHOULD I CLEAN THE INSIDE OF MY NEW M&B. BAG?

Similar to caring for the outside, the inside of your bag can be cleaned using a damp cloth and soap. Wet wipes are your friend here too for easy on the go cleaning! 

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN MY M&B. NAPPY BAG ACCESSORIES?

Highly likely, the baby change mat and insulated bottle warmer will need a "freshen up" at some point. Both of these can we wiped clean with a soft cloth and soapy water or if it really needs emergency care, these can be machined washed on a gentle setting and dried on the line.
