Anyone Tried This?

Post by Shaun »

I was thinking of a way to wash your bags without doing it by hand so you maybe don't accidentally pull the fabric apart. I thought if you maybe put some soap into water and then put that into a jar. And then put the bag inside the jar and shake it. Then dry it off and repeat this several times to clean the bag. Has anyone tried this? If so did it work well or not?

Don't use metel beads. Use glass marbles instead. I've done this and it works okay. I still prefer to just wash them with my hands. I wash my bags at least once a week. I've had one bag for about a year and it's doing just fine. Don't use fabric softener, it's a bag killer.

Really? Have you had bad experiences with it? Could you share? I have been using fabric softener with only good effects.

He might have used the liquid form and accidentally used to much. As fas as I know if you just use the sheet ones like you put in the dryer it works fine.

Liquid fabric softener will attack the fibers of your footbag and cause it to thin prematurely. I don't know about dryer sheets. I have no evidence to support my claims other than my own experience.

I dont think that would happen. Ive washed my bags a few times and I dont see how it could happen.
