Knowledge of Canvas Bags

                       Cleaning and Maintenance of Canvas Bags

The main material characteristics of a canvas bag are environmental protection, durability, and washability.

Canvas bags are mainly made of cotton or linen, which are natural materials, so canvas bags are very environmentally friendly. They are biodegradable and pollution-free to the environment, making them a very environmentally friendly shopping bag.

Canvas bags are also very durable. Compared with plastic bags and paper bags, canvas bags have a longer service life, are more durable, and are less prone to damage, so they are more in line with the concept of environmental protection.
