Washing bags

What method do you use to wash your bags? I've been playing for a year almost and haven't washed any of my bags

Should I toss them in the washing machine, or is it better to wash by hand? What soap to use?

Get some treseme or fructis shampoo and or conditioner. And handwash them in cold water. Rinse them until the water runs clear ( or as clear as possible if they're lead filled ). Then gently ring them out and hand dry them.

You don't REALLY need shampoo, hand soap works fine.

Also check this vid out: http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/11578

I don't think he ever posted it, but I sifted through his .org gallery and find it quite useful.

I guess I should ask him before I post it... Meh.

I prefer shampoo because it's a lot easier to work into and out of the bag, making sure that it's truly clean.

Yes I agree with you, but shampoo isn't an absolute necessity. Just some kind of soap (even bar soap works)

I used to handwash all my bags, eventually I got lazy and started just putting em through the laundry.

It works just as good if not better.
