![]() ![]() Mike from Mike’s Bags explains how to vinegar wash your bags. I found some information online about this process and would like to share it with you since I feel this could be just as good of a method as the bag serum. In fact, many people including myself use it instead of fabric softener when washing clothes. While I have never done this process myself, I can say that Vinegar is very good at softening fabric. One of the newest methods discussed amongst players is to soak your bags in vinegar. Winner: Bag Serum Bag Break-in Serum vs Vinegar Most Bag Break-in Serums are made from organic plant based ingredients. ![]() It uses waxes, silicones, and polymers much like fabric softener. Hair conditioner works by coating the hair to trap moisture and reduce friction. We have also seen talk about hair conditioner. Winner: Bag Serum Bag Break-in Serum vs Hair Conditioner When I received my new black Reynolds Pro Advantages that had been treated with a Bag Break-in Serum, the texture of the materials felt the same as the others! We all know that the feel of the bag in your hand is one of the most important things to consider when choosing a bag that is right for you, so why would you want to sacrifice that feel? I never used any fabric softener on them. I have a set of blue Reynolds Pro Advantage that are a year old and have been thrown I cannot tell you how many times. Sac Relax is a specially formulated serum that does not leave a film or residue on your bags. If you were to hold a bag that had fabric softener used on it and then hold another set of the same bags that did not, you can feel a difference. Using fabric softener can leave a film on your bags. Though both processes are relatively the same, there is one major difference between the two. Winner: Bag Serum Bag Break-in Serum vs Washing and Drying with Fabric Softener Therefore, your bags keep their color and you are not breaking down the fibers at an accelerated rate, again giving your bags a longer life. ![]() You will notice in the instructions for the Relax product, after applying it they recommend to soak the bags in cold water for a couple hours before drying with low heat or air dry. With a Bag Break-in Serum, you are not subjecting your bags to high heat. I do not think that boiling is the best method to break in new bags due to the damage you could be doing to them.īoiling bags will void the warranty with most bag manufactures such as BG, Ultra and others And when they bust open, lets see if the manufacturer replaces them when they see your boiling post on Facebook. So, by boiling your bags, you are actually doing more harm than good. The heat breaks down the fibers and can ruin the fabric. Hot water can also damage certain synthetic fabrics. ![]() And, it can shrink certain types of fabric. Have you ever shrunk clothes in the dryer or had the colors fade from using the wrong temperature water when washing them? I do it all the time! Well, it just so happens that when you boil your bags, hot water can cause bright colors to run and fade. It is not good for your bags at all and here is why we say that. I will admit that when I first saw that people were putting their new bags in a big pot and boiling them, I said to myself “Oh, that can’t be good!”. Winner: Just Throw Them! Bag Break-in Serums vs Boiling So, if we are comparing a serum vs throwing them, well…. Throwing your bags is by far, the BEST method to break in new bags but, it also takes the longest!

So, you get home from work and you are pumped because the bags you ordered finally came in!!! Now what? Many bags today come ready to throw with minimal break in period but there are still some, such as most carpet bags, that need the fabrics loosened before they can play optimal.

We are going to look at the most popular methods and discuss why bag break-in serums are the best way to achieve the results you are looking for! Almost half the bags on the market today are stiff out of the box and need some way get them loose and ready to go.
