How to clean Kanken backpacks?

The best way to clean your Kanken backpack is to wash off any dirty marks using a soft sponge or brush, lukewarm water, and a mild detergent. Do not wash your Kanken backpack in the washing machine! Once you have washed it, you should hang it somewhere that is well-ventilated and not in direct sunlight. Kanken also recommends rinsing your Kanken backpack in lukewarm water before you start using it as they use a special dyeing technique to get their vibrant colours, so there’s a chance, especially if you are wearing light coloured clothing, that the colour can rub off on your clothes.
