Removing oil from bag?

ebo · Post by **ebo** » 02 May 2005 04:11

I just kicked my Illja bag right onto the chain of my bicycle.. It's got a
nasty black oil mark now - any tips on how to get the oil off there without
harming the facile?

soak it in warm..hot water for a few minutes then take it out and apply soap to it...alot of soap and finally wash it like you just shredded wth it

You might want to try working the soap into the bag before you soak it. That's how you get grease off of most things.

I don't know about you guys, but I've received stern warnings against using hot water on facile. I've been told by an expert on the subject that facile does not like heat. I have not tested this myself, but I'd prefer a black spot on my footbag than a footbag thats busted because it didn't take well to hot water.

Definately do not use hot water, lukewarm at the very most I think.

I've washed my bags before, I'd always use lukewarm wtaer and handsoap, which always worked for me, but it won't do for oil.

I wonder if any special oil remover or something might harm the
facile.

goo gone? doesnt seem like it will have much of an effect on a footbag, but it works wonders getting oil, paint, caughking and grease off my hands
