Cleaning & care
TL;DR
Spot-clean by hand with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air-dry. Avoid machine washing/drying to protect the fabric treatments and structure.
Stolt backpacks use premium performance fabrics with water-repellent and anti-microbial treatments, so day-to-day grime usually wipes off easily. For regular cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent and lukewarm water to spot-clean the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe again if needed, then air-dry the backpack fully before storing.
Do not put the backpack in a washing machine or tumble dryer — agitation and heat can damage the padding, coatings and hardware. To maintain zippers, brush away grit from the teeth, and keep the pack out of prolonged direct sunlight when drying. With light maintenance, your Stolt pack will look sharp and perform well for years.
