Parents, let's be real, our insulated lunch bags and cooler bags go through a lot. From packing lunches for our little ones, to carrying snacks and drinks for ourselves, these bags see it all. But with all that use comes a lot of wear and tear, and before you know it, your lunch bag or cooler bag is looking a little worse for wear. But don't worry, cleaning it up is a piece of cake!
Here's a guide on how to clean your insulated lunch bags and cooler bags, and make it a fun task for the whole family.
1. Empty You Lunch Bag
Empty the bag: Before you begin cleaning your insulated lunch bag or cooler bag, make sure that it is completely empty. This will make it easier to clean and will prevent any food or drink residue from being left behind.
2. Clean The Interior
Clean the interior: Once the bag is empty, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of the bag. If there are any stubborn stains or spills, you can use a mild cleaning solution or a mixture of water and white vinegar. Be sure to rinse the interior thoroughly before moving on to the exterior.
3. Clean The Exterior
Clean the exterior: Next, wipe down the exterior of the bag using a damp cloth or sponge. If there are any stains or spills, you can use a mild cleaning solution or a mixture of water and white vinegar. Be sure to pay special attention to any zippers or snaps, as these can often collect dirt and grime.
4. Dry The Bag
Dry the bag: After cleaning your insulated lunch bag or cooler bag, be sure to dry it thoroughly. You can either air dry it or use a towel to pat it dry. Do not use a dryer, as the heat can damage the insulation and cause the fabric to shrink.
5. Store The Bag in Dry Space
The final important step in keeping your insulated lunch bag or cooler bag in top condition is storing it in a dry space. This will prevent mould and mildew from forming, as well as prolong the life of the insulation. Here are a few tips for storing your insulated lunch bag or cooler bag in a dry space
