Using this duffel bag is a breeze. First, open the zip - around top closure to load your items. You can use the outside zip pockets to store things like keys, wallets, or phone chargers for easy access. When carrying, hold the double handles. For long - term use, try to avoid overstuffing the bag as it may damage the canvas. To clean, use a soft cloth and mild soap to gently wipe the surface. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to prevent mold growth.
