The art of care: keeping felt and cork in top shape

Hey you, the proud owner of a stylish felt or cork bag from Smukbird! To ensure that your stylish accessory always stays in top shape, proper care is crucial. Here are some tips to preserve the natural beauty of felt and cork.

Felt care:

Cleaning felt

Take a soft brush or lint roller and remove loose particles such as dust or lint. Alternatively, you can also use a gentle cloth to gently clean the felt.

Stain removal

If your felt accessory has a stain, use a mild detergent or soap solution. Apply it carefully to the stain and work it in gently with a soft cloth or brush. Test the cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area beforehand to ensure that it does not damage the felt.

Air drying

After cleaning, allow the felt to air dry carefully to avoid deformation:

  1. Gently squeeze out excess water to protect the fibers.
  2. Place the felt on a flat surface with the desired shape.
  3. Choose a well-ventilated location to ensure air circulation and shorten drying time.
  4. Avoid direct sunlight and choose a shady place.
  5. Check the drying progress regularly and turn the felt if necessary.
  6. Avoid drafts to ensure even drying and dimensional stability.
  7. Allow the felt to dry sufficiently without using heat sources such as hair dryers or fan heaters.

Through these measures, the felt is dried gently and effectively, while its structure and shape are retained.

Remove pilling

If small nodules (pilling) form on the felt, you can remove them with a lint razor. Alternatively, you can carefully cut them off with scissors.

Moisture protection

Store your felt bag in a dry place to prevent mold growth. If the bag gets wet, allow it to dry completely before using it again.

Cork care

Gentle cleaning

To remove dust, use a slightly damp cloth and gently wipe the cork. Be careful not to use too much water as cork can absorb water.

Stain removal

For stubborn stains, use a special cork cleaner or a mild soap solution. Apply the solution carefully to the stain and test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.

drying

Allow the cleaned cork to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
