I have come across a number of people who say they put Kanken in a cool wash with a gentle cleanser and the bags come to no harm whatsoever. I'm inclined to believe that must be true. I'm a fan of Kipling bags, and Kipling also tell users not to put in the washing machine, but I have done this more times than I can remember and the results are always excellent. Remember, COOL machine wash, absolutely no heat, and some gentle natural cleanser. I use soap nuts. Highly recommended.
Thankyou so much, I got this from a gift from my uncle and now my aunty last year because I said I had back issues and he so kindly got it for me so I was thankful. So I wanted to clean it because it’s end of the school year, it’s purple and I want to extend the lifespan cause it means a lot to me so thank you again!💗
You are the cutest girl. I like how you basically keep the video rolling no matter what's happening. I've traveled all over the world with my orange BP World (common brand in Asia) backpack and I REFUSE to take another trip with this embarrassment. Thanks for the video!
I just googled how to wash your nankeen and the first result was "whatever you do don't put your kanken in the washing machine" I already put it in the washing machine 😭 ALSO I love seeing a black queen ❤️
I'm glad that I got the Super Grey color....All I have to do is wipe it off, because it doesn't seem to get too dirty. It doesn't show up on the dark Super Grey color. My Kanken is over a year old now. It's one of the best investments i've made in a very long time.
Tuff Stuff upholstery cleaner might work, too. It’s a giant yellow can in the automotive department. I’ve seen it at Walmart, Target, Family Dollar & Dollar General. I’ve never used it on Kanken but I’ve used it on Coach, Fossil, Dooney, Vera Bradley, Vans, Converse, & various clothes with zero issues. Rit Dye Synthetic should spruce up the color, as well. :)
I needed this (I haven’t watched the hole video yet) someone thought it would be funny to splash *mud all over my light purple kanken and it stained I hope this helpes
I didn’t get all the dirt off but, 60% came off👏 Edit: lol my bag was REALLY dirty so not all of it will come off (I have the yellow ochre original bag too)
I'm watching this because we are finally going back to face to face classes and my bag is very dirty cause I haven't washed it since 2020😌BTW, ur so prtty😩
I've heard about not putting a kanken in the washing machine because it will strip the water resistance, do you know if washing detergent strips it. I've just washed mine with detergent and I'm scared that I've ruined my backpack :(
hey girlie, i love this video!! i am definitely going to try it once i get my kanken/get it dirty. i am getting super grey so does anyone know if it will get dirty/if cleaning it will fade the color? love ya ❤️
You're so pretty xxx like for real- you cutie :))- thanks so much for the tutorial I'm getting pink which is also really light and will need regular cleaning. Also the yellow is so beautiful and goes really well with your skin tone
Great video! Don't want to be a nitpicker, but "Kånken" is pronounced as if you were saying "Conquer", but replaced the final r with an n. It comes from the Swedish word "Kånka", meaning "to carry (something heavy) with difficulty".
Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s Kanken is dirty on the bottom from plopping it on the floor last year 😭
would you guys be interested in a video decorating my kanken? i was considering doing some embroidery
Stylish Situations yesss !
OMG YESS! I’m going to embroider my kanken tomorrow and i’m so nervous bc i have no idea how to do it hehe
Yezzzz
Yes! I wanna use pins and I pushed a pin in and then regretted it bc I’m scared to ruin the material!
Yes Ik I am late

Omg girl we have the same exact colour!! About to wash my bag today thanks for your video xx
This color is the cutest!
SAMEEE LOL WE EVEN HAVE THE SAME STAINS 😂
Hi! Which color is this? Is it the Ochre? I’m thinking of buying one, but still quite indecisive-it’s between the Ochre or the Acorn
which colourrr i cant decide between warm yellow ochre and acorn :(
my yellow kanken is literally as dirty as yours was in the start. glad i'm not the only one
Hope it became squeaky clean
Mine too! And it still was dirty after I put it in the washing machine
I have the same color. It just hurts me that these backpacks get dirty easily and the color fades so fast after washing. Fjallraven please!

Dont be rough when your scrubbing the dirt off, it scrubs off the color and makes the color faint. So be careful and take your time!
good advice
I love the worn/distressed look of your Kanken! It’s beautiful.
Yes I don't think it'll ever get outdated

I thought fossil only made watches

This is so sweet thank you
I am glad I am not the only one with that problem tysm!
Im glad it helped you
Thank u so much! This is so helpful and my Kånken is spotless 💕
Im happy it helped you!!
I have the same color! I’m so glad I thought to look it up online before throwing it in a washer and dryer, that would’ve sucked :(
i put mine in the washer and it was fine but then I stupidly put it in the dryer and it got a baddddd rip in the back that I ended up sewing it😭
I have a yellow Kanken too! Thanks for the tips.
Thank you for this video. I'm thinking about buying ochre. What color is this?
I needed this (I haven’t watched the hole video yet) someone thought it would be funny to splash *mud all over my light purple kanken and it stained I hope this helpes
I didn’t get all the dirt off but, 60% came off👏
Edit: lol my bag was REALLY dirty so not all of it will come off (I have the yellow ochre original bag too)
It’s really hard to get it all off but the improvement is real
yess i just washed my yellow one it was a mess!!!
I have a Kanken and a green pen leaked in the small pocket 😭 hopefully this works
good luck
I have the same one :) I have some pencil marks on it and I didn’t know how to wash it... thanks 😊
They're so hard to wash off!! but the improvement is real
Me too!
I am super late but does tide work to clean it!? Also I same same color backpack!! 😄
this color is soooo pretty
I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the video, but you’re so, SO pretty 🥺💜
I'm watching this because we are finally going back to face to face classes and my bag is very dirty cause I haven't washed it since 2020😌BTW, ur so prtty😩
Omg! Girly thank u for that my kan ken is also the same color as urs! im going to school tomorrow so i must clean it!Thanks xoxo
your bedroom is PERFECT 👌🌿🌞♥️
i’ve literally only used my kanken for three days and i’ve already scratched the logo and got it so dirty
My daughter uses hers for high school. It's causing pulling on the backs of her shirts. Any suggestions?
Hello what color is this bag? Warm yellow ?
Do you think this will work on the purple colour? I don’t wanna stain it 😕
Yes it should work on any color. Just be sure to be gentle.
I dropped mines in dirty snow!! Same color, thanks for video
BRO THANK YOU I’ve been trying to clean my Kanken backpack cause the stains won’t come off
Will the bag get ruined if you put it in the washing machine??
I've heard about not putting a kanken in the washing machine because it will strip the water resistance, do you know if washing detergent strips it. I've just washed mine with detergent and I'm scared that I've ruined my backpack :(
I think as long as you use mild detergent and don't use too much it should be fine
i put mine in the wash and it’s a little crusty now but it’s fine ✌️😌
Cool wash, mild cleanser, and it should be fine. I use soap nuts, a completely natural product.
hey girlie, i love this video!! i am definitely going to try it once i get my kanken/get it dirty. i am getting super grey so does anyone know if it will get dirty/if cleaning it will fade the color? love ya ❤️
Oh my god you have such a cute lil channel, just subbed ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Did you wet your bag before brushing it with soap water or not?
Hey can you do a video of how your bag is rn ?
Hey this video was super helpful and nicely made and you're a lovely soul thanks midday thought I would help with the validation ❤️
I’m planning on cleaning my kanken before the beginning of the school year. Can I use other detergents or only the one that you used?
You can use any detergent as long as it’s mild. I also recommend testing it on a spot that won’t be visible like the inside or the pockets. Good luck
Aime Maggie Thank you! Is tide detergent ok?
That's the one I wanted but I got a mauve one instead. I'll get that color next 🤎
can you use sponge instead of toothbrush?? please someone reply!!
Yes you can 😊
Yes that would work
Girl how are you so pretty-
Could I use a nail brush or would that be too tough ?
that's too rough. Used an old toothbrush for small patches and a bigger brush for the overall backpack. it's it's too rough, it'll rub the color off
@@aimemaggie okay, thanks
how long does it take to dry? i have school in 2 days lol
im late asf but a it takes about whole day to dry
You're so pretty xxx like for real- you cutie :))- thanks so much for the tutorial I'm getting pink which is also really light and will need regular cleaning. Also the yellow is so beautiful and goes really well with your skin tone
Hi! Can we use dawn dish soap or would that be to harsh?
I used dishsoap and mine was fine
U deserve more subscribers xx
thank you so much
Quick question.. my kanken isn’t dirty but I wanted to soak it to maybe soften the fabric a bit.. will that happen if I soak it ?
It should be fine as long as the water isn't too hot and you don't do it for too long. I wouldn't recommend soaking in any chemicals.
Was a lot of work and most of the stains remained. But dust and general dirt wAs rinsed
Do you know who to remove stains of bookbags
Omg your a hero 🦸♀️ I have the same backpack 🎒 that my cousin gave me and it’s dirty asf
Hey, I found your channel through Cathrin Manning's channel! Great job! I just wanted to come support you. Small channels united! lol
I love her videos!! I'll be sure to check out your videos
Please the ink stain wont come off on yellow kanken 😭😭 and they get dirty easily
anyone here in 2021 washing their backpack
Great video! Don't want to be a nitpicker, but "Kånken" is pronounced as if you were saying "Conquer", but replaced the final r with an n. It comes from the Swedish word "Kånka", meaning "to carry (something heavy) with difficulty".
Sounds nitpicky to me
im about to clean my purple rainbow kanken😼🌈
good luck! purple is such a cute color
Me with the lightest green there mine is ✨dety✨
Is it still water proof tho......
apparently not.. i thought it was waterproof when i first cleaned mines a while ago.. but it’s not waterproof whatsoever
Save! The! Bees!
you're so cute and thank u for your video
thank you
Can't we wash in the washing machine?
No that's too abrasive and it will damage the backpack
thanks for this! it inspired me to clean my super dirty kanken totepack
Good vid 👍
thank you!
Inspiring, lots of effort. But what about just throwing it in the washing machine? Anybody tried that?
don’t. kanken have advised against it
BAHAHAHAHA YESS THE MORNING
Does it ruin the fabric?
I just searched how to strip a bag while thinking of how to clean my kanken and this popped up..
just use a sponge!
can’t focus in the vid. i think u are very pretty 😍
Rats i just threw out my old toothbrush last week. My daughter took my grey kanken and gave me her yellow one instead. Its filthy.
This ruined my fucking kanken
