Quick answer
Clean your Nexis Storage Bag by hand or on a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent, then air dry. Regular care prevents dirt buildup and keeps the bag securely attached to your stroller.
Why regular cleaning matters
The Nexis Storage Bag is designed to hold your essentials while you walk, so it collects dust, crumbs, and spills over time. If ignored, grime can weaken the fabric and make the bag harder to attach to your stroller. A quick clean every few weeks keeps it looking fresh and extends its life.
Because the bag is included with your stroller, you might not think about maintaining it separately. But just like the seat and canopy, it benefits from routine care. The material is durable but not indestructible—gentle cleaning is key.
Before you start
Always check the care tag inside the bag for any manufacturer-specific instructions. The Nexis bag is made from a polyester blend, which holds up well to mild detergents but can shrink or warp under high heat.
Remove all items from the pockets and shake out loose debris. Zip all zippers to prevent snagging during washing.
Step-by-step cleaning process
- Step 1: Spot clean first: Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cool water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently blot any stained areas. Avoid scrubbing hard, as this can damage the fabric surface. Common mistake: using bleach or harsh chemicals. Stick to mild soap to avoid fading or weakening the material.
- Step 2: Machine or hand wash: For a thorough clean, place the bag in a mesh laundry bag and wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a small amount of mild detergent. If hand washing, submerge the bag in a basin of cool water with detergent, swish gently, and rinse thoroughly. Checkpoint: never use fabric softener—it can leave a residue that attracts more dirt and may affect the bag's water resistance.
- Step 3: Air dry completely: Remove the bag from the washer or basin and gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist. Lay the bag flat on a clean towel or hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Common mistake: putting the bag in a dryer or near a radiator. High heat can shrink the fabric or warp the zippers, making the bag difficult to attach.
- Step 4: Reattach and check fit: Once fully dry, reattach the storage bag to your Nexis stroller. Ensure all straps and clips are secure and that the bag sits flush against the frame. This also gives you a chance to check for any wear or loose stitching. Checkpoint: if the bag feels loose or the straps are frayed, it might be time to replace it. Regular inspection after cleaning helps catch issues early.
