With proper care, your bag will last through your awesome adventures

Spot Wash by hand if possible using a gently scrub brush and mild soap. 

Machine wash:

Regular detergent will work on most bags, Oxi clean is a great option, but be very cautious especially if your bag has number decals from the original sail; soaking in detergent can cause these to peel off. 

Air dry only, avoid putting your sail bag in the dryer.

 

Tips and tricks

Keep in mind, all of the bags are made using recycled materials. This means that they already have some character built into each bag. Your unique bag may include discolouration and marks that are difficult to wash out. Rust is nearly impossible to wash without damaging the integrity of the material.  

For High Tech, laminated sails:

These sails can be susceptible to delamination. If you fold and scrunch the bag too often, this may cause it to wear over time. You may be able to tape it or patch it to extend its life. Ruya Creations bags are guaranteed for one year after the date of purchase. 

Hair Spray!

Fear not if you experience a crazy sudden stain. Sometimes there is a surprising fix; A customer had a pen explode in a white Dacron bag. They saturated the area with hairspray, put the bag through a wash cycle, and air dry. It came out like new.
