How do I wash my hiking backpack?
Often, manufacturers of duffel bags do not recommend washing them, since they are impregnated with a special impregnation for water resistance. So that it does not wash out, it is advised to wipe it with a wet rag.
Can the backpack be washed if it is very dirty and scrubbing with a brush does not lead to anything?
Remember 4 rules:
- first pull out the rigid frame;
- turn the backpack inside out with the straps inside and fasten it. Plastic parts will not scratch the washer drum;
- set a delicate program for washing with cold water (max. 30 ° C) without spinning and with a little powder without bleach. Cold water does not wash out the impregnation and does not discolor the color of the duffel bag;
- do not wring out the shoulder bag after washing. Hang it on a rope to glass the water.
If you still hesitate to wash your backpack in the washing machine, do it by hand.
- grate laundry or tar soap. This soap is made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It will not ruin the fabric;
- pour water at room temperature (30-40 ° C) into a deep basin or bath;
- soak in soapy water for 20-30 minutes;
- clean very dirty places with a clothes brush;
- rinse under running water;
- without wringing, dry by hanging on a rope.
Do not wash your backpack too often, as the impregnation will wash out over time.
