Hey all , it has just been a week that I got involved in footbagging when I bought two footbags at a demo here in quebec .... and one of them was a yellow / black sand filled footbag , made in a kind of suede....I kicked alot with it and its all dirty now..I was wondering if there was a way to wash it....I was kinda scared that the sand would turn into mud

Uh, I don't know if you've ever been to the beach, but it isn't muddy there.

yes use hand soap an wash it... just dry it off with a towle or something dont let it shit around an dry with out playing with it... it will get hard, and the sand may clump up in time so always make sure u dry it to the point that its damp i use foam soap seems to work better

hope this helps

Ive washed my sandbag b4. Just dried it as much as I could and left it to dry. The material didnt get hard and the sand did clump up (its wet) but once its dry its like normal

Yeah I've done it a few times. Don't do it too much or you will lose sand, I guarantee that. Just when it's DIRTY.

Buy alot of them and discard them when they are dirt soaked. Washing them will increase the damage the sand can do to the fabric. If you can remove the sand before washing and replace when the bag is dry. Hope this helps,Richie
