Using your Dependable Maryland Scout Bagette Grocery Tote is a breeze. Open it up fully when you're at the grocery store to load your items. You can carry it by hand using the two straps or throw it over your shoulder for easy transport. When you get home, you can stand it upright in your trunk to keep it organized. To store it, simply fold it flat and tuck it away. As for maintenance, you can wipe it down with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the material. Also, don't overload the bag beyond its capacity to keep the burst - proof bottom in good shape.
