5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your Amazon Basics Garment Bag.

• Cleaning: The garment bag is not machine washable. Clean the exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
• Storage: Store the garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the bag beyond its intended capacity, as this can strain zippers and seams.
• Inspect Zippers: Periodically check zippers for smooth operation. If a zipper becomes stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant can be applied.

6. Troubleshooting

• Wrinkled Garments:
  • Ensure garments are properly secured with the internal tie-down straps.
  • Avoid overpacking, which can compress clothes and cause wrinkles.
  • For best results, pack freshly pressed or steamed garments.
• Bag Feels Bulky/Heavy:
  • Distribute weight evenly across compartments.
  • Consider the total weight of items packed, especially if using as a carry-on.
• Zipper Sticking:
  • Do not force the zipper.
  • Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently remove it.
  • Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a specialized zipper wax) if needed.
