Can I machine dry my backpack? it has Airlift padding?

Question

My mom is worried I will ruin the dryer. I've put it through machine wash with cold water so far and that was fine so far but now I need to dry it!

I don't want to leave it to airdry cos it might smell-- kind of defeats the point of me washing it xD

I have a Jansport backpack with Airlift padding in the straps

I think Airlift is silicon, but I'm not sure

Other materials that I can see:

-mesh covering the airlift pads

-plastic clips

-and of course, whatever makes the backpack have its shape- cardboard?

Here is a link to the backpack details although it doesn't say much except advertise for it

If you don't think machine drying is a good idea, any other ideas? I guess hairdryers might work..

Answer 1

Hand wash i would say, but NOT in a washing making too much to ruin your machine on there.
