5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns regarding the gig bag.
5.1. Bag Losing Shape After Washing
Issue: The bag appears to have lost some of its original shape after washing.
Solution: This can occur if the bag is twisted or scrubbed too vigorously during cleaning. Always use a mild detergent and avoid harsh scrubbing or twisting. Reshape the bag gently while it is still damp and allow it to air dry naturally.
5.2. Zipper Sticking
Issue: The zipper is difficult to open or close.
Solution: Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax, graphite from a pencil) to the teeth and gently work the zipper back and forth.
