Well, laundry detergent has always worked well for me. I mean, facile is a fabric and all. I've never tried to wash clothing with hand soap or any other type of 'soap' for that matter.

Ok, Ive got it all figured out. I'll make it with all natural ingredients, vegetable oils (mainly olive and coconut), not animal fat because soaps made with it tend to leave a greasy feeling and can clog the pores on your skin, im assuming it would make a footbag sticky or something. And if it is scented I'll use essential oils because fragrence oils typically are chemically processed to make it smell like something, and essential oils are taken from the plant with a still. ( lemon oil, lavender oil, tea tree oil, etc)

The ph of the soap can be changed to be gentle on fabrics, if you ever used soap with a high ph level it would probably sting your skin or dry it out.

yeah...there's something scary about adding a small bag to move your foot around while jumping off a ledge or bench. i footed pdx whirl off a bench from a hand toss a few times, and can do some other street stuff...clippers/butterflys up stairs, etc.

do not use vegetable oil. it seems good at first but it makes the bag really gross and crusty.

Just stick with a light shampoo/detergent in moderation. Allow your bags to get dirty once in awhile so that they break in well.

Washing a bag too early can often make it crusty and much harder for it to break in. 3-5 sessions for every wash is normal imo (depending on how dirty the turf you're playing is like).
