ION Gearbag Kite Core Golf

Maintenance of the ION Gearbag Kite Core Golf

• Cleaning: Wipe the bag with a soft cloth, lukewarm water and mild soap after use, especially after contact with salt water, as salt can damage the material and zippers over time. Avoid machine washing and harsh cleaning products.
• Zippers and wheels: Regularly remove sand and grit from the zippers, wheels and handles, and lubricate the zippers with silicone spray or zipper wax to keep them smooth and durable.
• Drying: Let the bag air-dry completely in the shade before putting it away. Never use a tumble dryer or direct heat, and avoid prolonged sun exposure, as UV rays can damage the PU-coated surface.
• Storage: Store the bag somewhere dry, cool and well-ventilated, preferably loosely rolled or hanging, to prevent sharp creases in the material. Avoid damp rooms where mold can form.
• General care: Treat stains promptly with lukewarm water, regularly check the seams, straps and wheels for wear, and repair minor damage right away to extend the life of the bag.
