How to Clean a Waterproof Jelly Bag (TPU Care Guide)

One of the best things about a waterproof jelly bag is how little maintenance it needs compared to leather. Here's how to keep your Mrs Melvis Jelly Firkin Bag looking glossy for years.

Daily care

Wipe your TPU jelly bag down with a soft, damp microfibre cloth after use. Because GlossShield™ TPU is fully waterproof, spills, rain and light dirt wipe straight off — no leather conditioner, no waiting for it to dry out.

Removing marks and scuffs

For scuffs or makeup transfer, use a drop of mild soap in warm water. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, acetone or abrasive sponges — they can dull the glossy finish. Always test on a small hidden area first.

Storage

Store your jelly bag upright or gently stuffed with tissue paper to hold its structured silhouette, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, which can warp TPU over time.

Hardware care

The silver-tone hardware on every Jelly Firkin Bag is tarnish-resistant, but a dry cloth buff keeps it looking new.
