H2: FAQ: Crisis Prevention Tactics
Q: Can I submerge my makeup bag if it’s "waterproof"?
A: Only IPX7-rated bags survive immersion (e.g., Rains™ Wash Bag). Most resist splashes only.
Q: How to remove mold from a damp bag?
A: Mix 1:3 vinegar/water → wipe lining → dry in the sun. Prevention: Store with cedar chips.
Q: Do heated tools damage waterproof linings?
A: Yes! Use thermal pouches (e.g., CalPak ThermoShield) for straighteners.
Q: Why did my liquids leak in a sealed bag?
A: Cabin pressure changes force 38% of non-vented containers to burst. Pressure-regulated pods are essential.
