Troubleshooting

Bag does not seem to be holding air / is re-inflating

Double-check that the double-zip seal is completely closed and secure. Ensure the valve cap is tightly screwed on after air removal. Inspect the seal and valve for any trapped debris.

Vacuum cleaner is not removing air effectively

Ensure the vacuum nozzle is properly aligned with the one-way valve. Check that your vacuum cleaner has sufficient suction and that the bag itself is not overfilled, which can impede air flow.

Material seems to have a slight odor upon opening

This can sometimes occur with plastic materials. Ensure the items stored were completely dry and aired before bagging. Air out the items and the bag itself for a few hours before re-storage.

Zip seal is difficult to close

Check for any lint, fibers, or small items caught in the zip track. Gently clean the track with a damp cloth or soft brush, then try closing the seal again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the items you wish to store are clean and completely dry.
  2. Carefully place the items inside the vacuum storage bag, avoiding overfilling.
  3. Close the reinforced double-zip seal securely, ensuring no gaps remain. Run your finger along the zip multiple times to confirm a tight seal.
  4. Locate the one-way valve. Attach your household vacuum cleaner nozzle or the included hand pump to the valve.

Care:

  • Clean the inside of the bags with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Ensure the bags are thoroughly dry before reuse.

  • Inspect the zip seal and valve regularly for debris or damage. Clean gently if needed.
