Product Care

PHAEVERS bags and apparel are built for performance, style, and longevity. Follow these quick steps to keep odor control strong, fabrics fresh, and hardware smooth.

1) Smell-Proof Bags — Cleaning & Refresh
Cleaning the Exterior
  • Wipe gently with a damp cloth or soft brush using mild soap and water.
  • Avoid bleach, alcohol-based cleaners, or harsh chemicals.
  • Air-dry completely before closing or storing.
Refreshing the Carbon Lining
  1. Open the bag fully and empty contents.
  2. Place in a warm, dry, ventilated space (indirect sunlight is OK).
  3. Leave open for 24–48 hours to release trapped particles.

Tip: Performance varies by exposure and load. Occasional airing helps extend odor absorption over the long term.

2) Odor Transfer & Storage Best Practices
  • Load the bag with clean hands to avoid scent transfer to the exterior.
  • If the outside picks up odor, wipe the surface and let it air out before reuse.
  • Store open in a cool, dry area when not in use; close zippers during normal carry.
  • Avoid long-term overfilling or tight folding to preserve shape and zipper performance.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry smell-proof bags.
3) Locks, Zippers & Hardware
  • Keep zippers clear of debris; run occasionally with a small dab of silicone-based zipper lubricant or clear candle wax.
  • Wipe locks and buckles with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Do not submerge hardware; avoid corrosive cleaners.
4) Apparel Care — Hoodies, Tees, Sweatshirts, Leggings
  • Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle.
  • Use mild detergent only; no bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Tumble dry low or air-dry flat to preserve fit and print.
  • Avoid ironing directly over printed/embroidered logos.
  • Do not dry clean.
5) Storage & Longevity
  • Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
  • For smell-proof bags, keep zippers properly aligned and closed when carrying items.
  • Fold heavy hoodies rather than hanging long-term to avoid shoulder bumps.
