For people who've had this a while: I am wondering how to keep it clean. Do the canvas "slings" get dusty/dirty? If so, are they washable?

It does get dusty. I suppose you can take it down and wash it, but it might shrink in the dryer. I'll just hand wash it.

We have had it about a year and it has stayed pretty clean. Though we keep it where the kids do not pull up on it.

I totally understand you problem as mine is rough too! We've had it for about 5 months now and he hasn't destroyed it yet, LOL! I thing your safe with ordering it. But it does have a fabric/mesh part that can get soiled but does wipe clean. I hope this helps! Good Luck!

The fabric is the same as any tent fabric. I have thankfully not had to clean it yet, but I would recommend spot cleaning with a mild soap and water.

I haven't tried, but it's a good quality canvas that has held up to many washings. My bags arrived unwashed, washing first would be best.

What a great idea!!! They were very clean when I got them -- but I do recommend just wiping them out with a micro-fiber cloth (switching out for another clean one often) to make sure any dust is out. Then they won't be wet when you put the M&Ms; in.

I never saw them get that dirty, but you would certainly take off the dirty one and put it in the sink and use dish washing liquid with hot water. One of mine has gotten sun faded and I was considering that with scotch-brite or lite steel wool to sort of polish it back to see-through.

I think it's more like a canvas, and yes I find it very easy to wipe clean. Mine still looks brand new, but my daughter hasn't eaten spaghetti, pizza, etc yet in it. When the time comes, I will definitely lay a towel down just in case. :)

I don't clean it. I just replace when beyond its usability. They are cheap enough to toss and buy a new one. For reference , the last cloth I had lasted about 5 years.

I wouldn't launder them, I would spot clean them by hand. I wouldn't think they would get very dirty. I've used them now for 2 months and the bags are not dirty.

Hello! I had that problem with my old one. I would tie a long piece of cloth to a long piece of string. I would use my vacuum at the other end to pull the end of the string all the way through. Then I would slowly pull the string, and the cloth end would pull through the hose and wipe the dirt and grime away. I also read someone ran hot water through it after each cleaning to rinse out the hose then hang it up high for it drip dry. I hope this helps!

I use are in a warehouse for the dust. I have found that you need to wash out the bag after use. I rinse the bag out with water and hang to dry for the next week.

The dish cloth that I used last night was still damp this morning. This is not a concern for me as I use a clean one each day, but if you use the same dish cloth for a couple of days, I can understand a concern for bacteria growth. I often include these dish cloths as gifts and everyone loves them.

I just wash mine with all my delicates like hose, bras, etc. I have a mesh bag to keep the bra hooks away from the items without fasteners or zippers but it works just fine. I lay it out to dry.

I have not had to clean it yet. I wash the cans - anything that is dirty before placing them in the bag. I guess t would use a brush or damp cloth.

I've had mine for months and there is very little wear. They can be hard to clean after a while though, the dead skin accumulates in the little holes.

I've never looked. It's pretty small. I think the black liner pulls out so you could wash it though. I just use mine for thread, material scraps, etc. so it doesn't bet dirty. Hope this helps.

Per the BJ website it is washable (air dry as it is meant to be taut on the frame but drying would create too much shrinkage). I'm about to wash mine for the first time as I've been using a liner that has protected it well and spot cleaning has done the trick for any other soiled areas.
