This tote bag is super easy to use. Just open it up and put your stuff inside. It's great for carrying books, your laptop, or your shopping. When it comes to cleaning, you can gently hand - wash it in cold water with mild detergent. Don't use bleach or harsh chemicals as they might damage the canvas or the printed design. After washing, let it air dry. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for too long as it could fade the colors. Also, be careful not to overstuff it to keep its shape.
