How do you clean a backpack?
When it comes to keeping your backpack in tip-top shape, it's important to check your individual backpack's care instructions to determine whether the bag is machine-washable or just needs a wipe-down.
To clean most cloth-based backpacks, start by emptying all compartments and shaking out any debris. For surface dirt, gently scrub with a soft brush and mild detergent and for tougher stains, spot clean with a cloth soaked in a mixture of water and mild soap.
Try to avoid submerging your backpack in water, as this can damage some fabrications and may inhibit the backpack's ability to completely dry. After cleaning, air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and once dry, you're ready to go!
