Care Instructions

Do not machine wash. Rinse with warm water and gently remove stains using a soft brush and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and air dry in the shade. Stuff with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying. Avoid direct heat, which can cause the canvas to become brittle over time.
