KNKG BAG CARE GUIDE

Keep your gear looking fresh. Keep your performance dialled in.

Your KNKG bag is built to work as hard as you do — but even the toughest gear deserves a reset. Here’s how to keep your bag clean, fresh and performing at its best.

STEP-BY-STEP BAG REFRESH

  1. 1

    Empty it out

    Remove everything. Clear out your gear, shake out the pockets, and give the bag a proper reset before cleaning.

  2. 2

    Remove debris

    Shake the bag out and vacuum any grit, chalk, or sand. Use a soft brush attachment to avoid damaging the lining and to get deep into corners and pockets.

  3. 3

    Spot clean like a pro

    For scuffs or marks on the outside, lightly scrub using warm water + baking soda (1 tbsp per 1 cup water). Use a soft cloth — never harsh brushes — to protect the fabric and coatings.

  4. 4

    Disinfect & de-funk

    Use disinfectant wipes or a gentle spray to kill germs and neutralize odours. Focus on handles, straps, pockets, shoe compartments, and high-touch zones.

  5. 5

    Shield & protect

    After cleaning, apply a fabric protectant or stain repellent (suitable for your bag’s material). This adds a barrier against sweat, rain, and unexpected spills.

  6. 6

    Reset the smell

    To keep your bag smelling good:

    • Drop in an odour absorber
    • Use activated charcoal packs
    • Or place two unused tea bags inside overnight

    Let them sit for 12–24 hours to fully absorb moisture and odour.

  7. 7

    Air it out

    Open every compartment and let your bag breathe. A few hours in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated spot is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight.

GENERAL CARE TIPS

  • Avoid putting your bag in a washing machine or dryer.
  • Keep sharp items in pouches to prevent punctures.
  • If your bag gets wet, always dry it fully before storing.
  • Store in a cool, dry place — not the back seat of your car.
