Best way to clean a backpack?

Question

I have a DC backpack and its like all white and Im going to use it for this year but its dirty. I asked my mom if I could put it in the washer and she said no because it has like 5 buckels or so. So I'm going to clean it myself but I dont know whats the best way to get it back to white. Shoe cleaner or soap and water? If you have any other suggestions please tell me

Answer 1

Wash it inside out with some old towels or rags... If you want to keep it white and like new get a can of Scotch Guard and treat it.  Then it will be easier to clean...

good luck

Answer 2

turn it inside out so the buckles don't come into contact with the washing machine.  white wasn't the most practical of choices and it will look well-weathered soon which is cool?

Answer 3

I clean mine on a regular basis as I travel alot and also for work. I spray the entire backpack with shout it out( or what ever stain remover you have) I work on it a bit with a small brush...let it sit for about half an hour. I them put it in a hug plastic tupperware out side that's filled with hot water. Let it soak,swish it around and leave it for a few hours. Remove from tupperware,rinse with the hose, hang it on the line.
