5. Maintenance and Cleaning

• Interior Cleaning: Wipe the interior lining with a damp cloth and mild dish soap after each use. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue.
• Exterior Cleaning: For the exterior Oxford cloth, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or submerge the entire bag in water.
• Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely with the lid open to prevent mold or mildew growth. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a soft brush with mild soap can be used on the exterior. For the interior, a baking soda paste can help with odors and stains, followed by wiping clean.
• Storage: When not in use, ensure the bag is clean and completely dry. It can be folded flat for compact storage.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Reduced Insulation Performance

• Issue: Food or drinks are not staying cold/warm for the expected duration.
• Solution:
  • Ensure the zipper is fully closed and sealed.
  • Use sufficient ice packs for cold items or pre-warm the bag for hot items.
  • Minimize opening the bag frequently, as this allows temperature to escape.
  • Check for any damage to the insulation layers (e.g., punctures, tears).

6.2. Leakage

• Issue: Liquids are leaking from the bag.
• Solution:
  • Verify that the zipper is completely closed.
  • Ensure that containers inside are properly sealed and not overflowing.
  • While the bag is leakproof, excessive sloshing of uncontained liquids can sometimes find a way out if the zipper is not perfectly aligned or if there's external pressure.
  • Inspect the interior lining for any tears or punctures that might compromise the leakproof seal.

6.3. Odor Retention

• Issue: The bag retains unpleasant odors.
• Solution:
  • Clean the interior thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Sprinkle baking soda inside the bag and let it sit overnight, then vacuum or wipe it out.
  • Air dry the bag completely with the lid open in a well-ventilated area.
