Looking After The Swag

When you first receive your Swags, wash them separately, inside out with a natural laundry liquid or powder. Add half a cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle to remove any residue. Dry inside out in full sun, and make sure your Swags are completely dry before using. Wash your used Swags as needed, or roughly every two weeks. *Australian Patent No. 2015221423 | International Patent(s) Pending
