Your textile item can be by hand (please do not use a washing machine). For our printed fabrics, we use processes that minimize chemicals. Avoid twisting or rubbing the fabric, as this could cause it to stretch, deform, or damage the print. When dealing with stains, rubbing can actually make the stain penetrate deeper into the fabric. It's best to soak the bag for a few minutes until it's clean; 30 minutes should sufficient.
