Caring for your Standing Makeup Bag

How to wipe clean or hand wash your nylon Standing Makeup Bag, dry it properly, and what to avoid so the fabric lasts.

The bag is made from soft, water-resistant nylon that wipes clean easily. Makeup spills are best cleaned up soon, before they set.

Quick clean

  1. Empty the bag.
  2. Wipe the inside and outside with a soft cloth dampened with cold water and a little mild detergent.
  3. Wipe again with a cloth dampened in clean water.

Don't scrub hard, because that can wear the nylon.

Deeper cleaning by hand

  1. Empty every pocket.
  2. Hand wash the bag in cold water with a gentle detergent.
  3. Rinse thoroughly in clean water.
  4. Don't wring it out. Press the water out gently instead.
  5. Reshape the bag while it's damp and let it air dry completely.

Make sure the pockets are fully dry before you pack your makeup again.

What to avoid

  • No washing machine.
  • No harsh chemicals. Bleach, alcohol, acetone and oil-based products can weaken the fabric or affect the finish. Take extra care with makeup remover, nail polish remover and alcohol-based sprays.
  • No direct heat or sunlight while drying. Heat and strong sun can cause fading or damage.

Storing it

When you're not using it, store the bag in a cool, dry place.
