1) Keep the skin of the handles hydrated: you just have to clean them with a cloth and wipe them with a little colorless shoe polish.
2) Put your bag in the sun. Sisal bags are typical of Kenya because that is where the Agave Sisalana plant grows, from which the fiber used to make the bags is created. This means that they are items made by and for the heat. They love high temperatures and, unlike other materials such as plastic or polyester, having them in the sun makes them a little "softer". So don't be afraid to take them to the beach, a picnic, or a sunset. These bags need air, sun and good weather to stay beautiful.
3) Control humidity. Moisture is the great enemy of this material, so if your bag gets stained with liquid or gets water on it, the best advice is to let it dry completely.
4) No chemicals. To clean the sisal thoroughly, wipe it with a damp cloth with neutral soap and then let it dry.
5) And our last tip, if you have dropped a substance with an unpleasant smell, sprinkle baking soda on the bag and let it act for 15 minutes and then vacuum it up. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer that will help eliminate bad odors.
