Can the bags be sprayed with a protector to make them waterproof?
The bags are water resistant, but you can use a good quality waterproofer for added protection. Follow the manufacturers instructions and test a small section prior to spraying the entire bag. Alternatively, use a wash-in proofing product on the bags that can be machine washed. Bear in mind that once the bag is sprayed this may thereafter affect the cleaning of the bag and it would need to be re-proofed. This may also change the basic characteristics of the material, so may impact on the “life of materials” guarantee.
