Using the Minder Clip is a breeze. Just find a spot on your project bag, car, or lamp where you want to attach it and clip it right on. Make sure the clip is firmly attached so it doesn't fall off. When using the Minder Hook, look for a table or ledge that's up to 2' deep. Hang your Mini or Not - So - Mini Minder on the hook. For maintenance, keep the leather straps clean by gently wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting them wet as it may damage the leather. If the clip or hook gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water to clean them, then dry thoroughly.
