Care guide for kids' backpack

Kids keep their backpacks as their daily life companions. The Tykle backpacks are known for their durability, designs, colours, and their unique features. Kids take their backpacks to school, trips, and wherever there is a need.

Thus, backpacks are used by kids regularly. However, most well-crafted backpacks also require a little care to maintain their original shape. Let's talk about the essential care guide for kids' backpacks.

Take care of durability while choosing.

When we talk about the effective care of a backpack, it always starts with the choice of material. Thus, opt for backpacks made from durable materials. Backpacks must be water-resistant so that they don’t get damaged when taken out in the rain. 

You can check the collection of backpacks at Tykle. All backpacks are durable and water-resistant.

Regular cleaning must be done

As we all know that kids can be messy and they can spill everything they eat or their art colors on their backpacks. Thus, it is important to take care of the regular cleaning of your kids' backpacks to avoid any kind of stains, odour, and to prevent bacterial buildup. 

Every time to start to clean the backpack, make sure to empty all the pockets carefully. Then, using a soft brush, remove the dust from the corners. For deep cleaning of the backpack, you can simply handwash the bag using a mild detergent. Never use harsh detergents to avoid any kind of colour fading. 

Do Spot cleaning

Sometimes, when no deep cleaning is required, you can simply dab the backpack using a dampened cloth to clean the dust. Never rub the surface while cleaning using a cloth. Try to clean softly using a cloth to avoid any type of pilling or tear on the surface of the backpack. This can also help in maintaining the appearance of your bag. You must also check the cleaning guide for all the details. 

Air dry the backpack

It is important to know how you should dry the backpack after cleaning. Never try to dry the backpack in a dryer, as drying in heat can weaken the plastic parts of the backpack. Instead, hang the backpack in sunlight or in a well-ventilated area. This helps in draining out the excess water from it. But avoid direct sunlight for longer hours. 

Organize to avoid overloading

Care is not just about cleaning; it also includes the correct usage of the product. Thus, keep the inside of the backpack well organized by using pouches and compartments. Make sure to avoid overloading by keeping unnecessary things in it. 

To keep sharp objects like compasses, always use protective pouches. Make sure to keep a habit of emptying the bag to prevent overloading. Overloading of backpacks also causes pressure on the shoulder of child. 

Repair tears and defects

Sometimes, the incorrect usage of the backpack or overloading leads to tears and defects. Keeping in view the condition of the bag, make sure to repair the tears and defects that are necessary. This helps in preventing small issues from becoming bigger ones. Sometimes, if the defect is major, repair can help extend the life of a backpack. 

Conclusion

A backpack that is well-maintained can last for years. Thus, taking care of your backpack, like cleaning, proper drying, and proper storage, can preserve it from any tears of defects.

Teaching a child to take care of their backpack helps in teaching a child how to care and respect their surroundings.  A clean and organized backpack also boosts the confidence of a child. Make sure that the backpack does not exceed 10-15% of your child’s body weight.
