Important Cleaning of a Bivvi Bag Instructions / warranty void if misused
To clean a 3-layer bivvi bag, first, gently spot clean with warm water and a sponge to remove mud and debris, avoiding harsh scrubbing or detergents. For a deeper clean, hand wash it in a tub with a specialized technical fabric cleaner, rinse thoroughly until all soap is gone, and then lay it flat to air dry, ensuring all zippers are closed and clean. Do not use regular detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as they can damage the fabric's protective coating.
cleaning process
Initial cleaning: Gently hose down the bivvi to remove loose dirt or use a sponge with warm water to scrub away mud without scrubbing harshly.
- Close and clean zippers: Ensure all zippers are zipped up and free of dirt, as this can damage them over time.
- Hand wash: If a deeper clean is needed, use a specialized technical cleaner. Fill a bathtub with lukewarm water and add the cleaner according to the product's instructions.
- Submerge and agitate: Submerge the bivvi and gently massage the cleaner into the fabric. Let it soak for about 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and rinse the bivvi with clean water until no soap residue remains. You may need to repeat this process several times.
- Remove excess water: Gently press the water out of the bag; do not wring or twist it, as this can damage the fabric and seams.
-
Dry: Lay the bivvi flat to air dry. Do not pick it up when it is wet, as the weight of the water can tear the stitching.
What to avoid
Regular detergents: Do not use standard detergents, as they can strip the waterproof coating.
- Fabric softeners and bleach: These can also damage the technical fabric.
- Wringing and twisting: Avoid wringing or twisting the bag when wet to prevent tearing the seams or insulation.
-
Machine drying: Do not put the bivvi in a dryer. Air drying is the safest method.
