Using this backpack is a breeze. You can carry it by the handles when you're in a hurry or sling it on your back for long - distance travel. For organization, use the interior slot pocket for flat items like notebooks and the zipper pocket for small, valuable items. When wearing it, adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable length. As for maintenance, clean it with a mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the nylon and polyester materials. Also, try not to overstuff the backpack to maintain its shape and the integrity of the pockets. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally in a well - ventilated area.
