You should also remove any sunscreen residue from your face or neck to avoid soiling the sleeping bag. This is because body oils and dirt will eventually strip the sleeping bag of its insulating or breathable properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the bag is to be placed directly on the ground, it is necessary to place something to protect it first, such as a mat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take care of the zips or zips of the bag. You should be familiar with them so that when camping you can use them in the dark.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air the bag every day you use it. To do this, open it from the inside out in order to evaporate all the moisture it may contain. It is not recommended to place it in the sun for a long time, as the sun's rays can degrade the fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sleeping bag should not be stepped on or walked on, as it can be damaged. Similarly, it should not be placed near a campfire or candle, as a spark can reach it and damage it, or worse, ignite it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Mantenimiento_avanzado_Cuando_el_saco_es_Inversion\"><\/span><strong>4.
