"How do I clean my Acorn Bag?
For canvas: Just as you shouldn't wash fabric upholstery or leather products such as shoes, gloves or jackets, you shouldn't dry clean or use detergent on your canvas. Gentle brushing or a damp cloth is best for loose dirt. For a more thorough cleaning, use a hand sponge with a mild natural soap (not detergent) in lukewarm water. Rinse twice with clean water.
For leather: A gentle leather cleaner/conditioner, like Lexol or Fiebing's, is all that's needed. Saddle soap is also a good choice."
