Start with a soft damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Always check the product’s care label first.
PRODUCT CARE
Care Guide
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your Little Renegade gear looking good and lasting longer through school days, weekends and everyday adventures.
Air dry in the shade and avoid dryers or harsh heat that can damage shape and coatings.
Avoid dragging, overloading and heavy pulling to help zips, seams and straps last longer.
These are general care tips. Always follow the care label or product-specific instructions where they differ.
BACKPACKS
Keep backpacks looking fresh
Spot clean first
Wipe marks, mud and spills with a soft damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Test on a small hidden area first if you’re unsure.
Clean gently — don’t soak
For a deeper clean, work over the surface gently with a soft cloth, cool water and mild soap. Avoid soaking the whole backpack unless the product care label specifically says it is safe.
Washing machines, dryers and soaking can affect padding, structure, straps and protective coatings. After cleaning, open all pockets and air dry naturally in the shade.
HATS & CAPS
Help hats keep their shape
Use a soft damp cloth with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking structured caps, stiff peaks, logos, trims or specialty materials unless the product care label specifically says it is safe.
Reshape while slightly damp and air dry naturally in the shade. Do not tumble dry or expose the hat to strong direct heat.
SWIM HATS
Rinse after swimming
Rinse your swim hat in fresh cool water after swimming to help remove chlorine, salt and sunscreen residue.
Gently press out excess water without wringing or twisting, then air dry in the shade. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, high heat and tumble drying.
LUNCH BAGS
Keep lunch bags clean & fresh
Wipe after spills
Use a soft damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe the insulated lining. Remove crumbs and spills promptly to help prevent odours.
Leave open to air dry
Keep the zip open after cleaning and allow the bag to dry completely before storing or using again.
Machine washing, soaking and tumble drying may damage insulation, structure and zips, so wipe-cleaning is the safest option unless the product care label says otherwise.
LARGE TOTE BAGS
Simple care for everyday use
Use a soft damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap for marks and spills. Avoid bleach, alcohol-based cleaners, abrasive cleaners and scrubbing tools that may damage the surface.
Do not soak the tote. Allow the bag and wet-bag section to dry fully in the shade before storing.
Materials and trims can vary between styles and collections. If a product has a sewn-in care label or specific care instructions on its product page, follow those instructions first.
PLAYGROUND CARE
A few things worth avoiding
Kids are hard on their gear — that’s part of the fun. These simple habits can help prevent accidental damage:
Dragging bags or hats across concrete, brick or asphalt creates friction that can quickly wear through fabric.
Handles and shoulder straps are made for carrying, not pulling games or swinging loaded bags.
If a bag is difficult to close, rearrange or remove something rather than forcing an overloaded zip shut.
Removing old food, damp items and loose dirt helps keep the inside clean and reduces unnecessary strain.
