Rainy Season – The “Enemy” of Beloved Little Backpacks
October–November is the time of long, drenching rain. For elementary school kids, the Clever Hippo water-repellent backpack that accompanies them to school every day is always by their side. However, if not cared for properly, the backpack can become damp, develop odors, and the zippers or colors can wear out.
Parents, don’t worry – with just a few simple rainy-season backpack care tips below, your child’s backpack will stay like new, dry, and fresh-smelling.
1. Chọn Balo Có Khả Năng Trượt Nước – Giải Pháp Đầu Tiên
First, start by choosing a water-repellent backpack instead of a regular one.
Lớp vải polyester trượt nước của Clever Hippo giúp hạn chế nước bám vào bề mặt, dễ lau sạch ngay sau cơn mưa nhẹ. Tuy nhiên, vì đây là balo trượt nước chứ không chống nước hoàn toàn, nên ba mẹ vẫn cần kết hợp thêm bước bảo quản sau khi bị ướt.
Gợi ý: Clever Hippo back-support backpack – water-repellent fabric, rigid form, many compartments convenient for kids.

2. Lau Ngay Khi Balo Bị Dính Nước
After every rain, even if the backpack is only lightly damp, parents should wipe it dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Don’t let water accumulate on the edges or straps, as those are the areas most prone to mold.
Nếu balo bị mưa nhiều, có thể đặt ở nơi thoáng gió hoặc dùng quạt nhẹ để hong khô. Không dùng máy sấy nóng, vì nhiệt cao có thể làm co lớp vải trượt nước, khiến balo nhanh xuống màu.
3. Phơi Đúng Cách – Bí Quyết Giữ Dáng Chuẩn
Drying a backpack may seem simple, but doing it wrong can easily ruin its shape.
Parents should:
· Hang the backpack upside down to let the water drain out.
· Dry it in a ventilated, shaded place, away from direct sunlight.
· Do not dry near damp walls or in dark corners, as these can cause odors.
A Clever Hippo water-repellent backpack, if dried properly, will always keep its shape, not wrinkle, and not lose its form.
4. Làm Sạch Balo Đúng Cách
During the rainy season, wash the backpack regularly every 2–3 weeks to prevent mold.
Safe washing method:
· Take everything out of the backpack.
· Use a soft brush and a solution of mild soap.
· Wash gently, do not soak for long.
· Gently squeeze to dry, do not wring.
Đây là cách giặt balo không bị hư form, giúp lớp trượt nước bền hơn và bề mặt luôn sáng màu.
5. Sử Dụng Túi Chống Ẩm Khi Trời Mưa Liên Tục
If your child tends to keep the backpack in a closed closet or study corner, you can place a small desiccant pack in the main compartment.
In addition to absorbing moisture, silica gel helps keep the interior dry and free from damp smell.
6. Những Sai Lầm Khi Bảo Quản Balo Trượt Nước
· Using a dryer or iron to dry quickly.
· Drying in direct sunlight can fade the fabric.
· Washing too often reduces the water-repellent layer’s effectiveness.
· Storing a wet backpack in a closed cabinet – easy to develop musty odors.
Parents just need to avoid these four mistakes, and your child’s backpack will stay clean and durable throughout the school year.
