Proper way to wash a bag?

Post by ToxicHippo »

i need to wash my bag NOW. How can I do it?

It's a Mr. sandbag, made of Crushed Panne, and REALLY needs a bath!

I've never washed a Mr. Sandbag (don't have any), but I imagine water wouldn't hurt it any. Just get it wet, squish it a few times, then towel dry it really well.

I wear my homemade crushed panne bags out too fast to bother washing them.

I just washed my crushed panne and it worked great. There so soft that the soap doesn't really harden them up at all...

I'm pretty much an afficionado of Mr's so here's my routine:


I take freakin' hot...well, warm water and 'marinate the bag for 3 minutes.... drain....take some hand soap or whatever, get the wet, warm bag put soap on it, rub parts , get lather on bag...rinse in warm water..... rinse again... rinse again and then, roll it around in your hands just to make sure that it doesn't crap up.... then, my drying technuiqe is to put the bag over a heater vent (I have centralized) and then wait three hours.... then, I take the DAMP bag and roll it around... toss it in the air and hit a couple time and then roll and dry. Overnight, that should be a good bag by tomorrow morning. Provided that you washed it in the afternoon...
