Just ordered this bag. Should I wash it before use?

I didn't wash it and took it on an overnight camping trip and it was fine for me. I'm always weary of machine washing sleeping bags anyhow. But I'm sure there are cleaning instructions on the tag, I just haven't needed to wash mine yet.

Yes no problem just wash it with fresh water after use and let dry before opening.

I do not know if this bag is machine washible, it is the same material on the inside and outside. I have washed a sleeping bag made of the exact same material before and nothing bad happened. Hope this helps :D!

I did not wash mine in the tote...I also used a lingerie bag. I did, however, wash the tote and line dried it like jesskathrin. actually more than once because it smelled odd after being in my suitcase with dirty clothes. it came out fine.

I actually haven't washed it before. I'm sure you could wash it on a low setting. You could also let it air-dry to prevent any other wear and tear on it.

Yes it can be washed as the other comments have suggested. Don't hesitate to get this bag. Its functionality and style make this the best diaper bag I've ever had. Holds a ton! And people have asked me if it's a Marc Jacobs bag. (If you ask me I think it's better!)

Since I just purchased them I have not. But seeing that the the bags are used to keep silver from tarnishing,I would assume it is in the fabric and I would not wash it. Hope that helps. M

I agree with Keith B - leaves, etc shake off fairly well and it does wash nicely. Anything sticky might be worth picking off the best you can before washing. I have washed mine in top loader and didn't really have an issue with the straps, but could see how they would get tangled easily. I washed on gentle.

I wouldn't wash it.. Keep it well protected and it will last for years without washing !!!!

The bags are machine washable. Washing instructions can be found on the sewn in label on each bag. Have not washed mine yet; I see no reason to do so unless something spills or leaks. Very pleased with these bags.

Nothing that I noticed or that bothered me. Wash before first use. I imagine any unusual taste would be gone after a few washes.

I washed mine with no problems. Just unzip it fully before washing. I wouldn't wash too often though.

I haven't washed mine yet but I think my daughter washed hers. If you follow the directions and let it air dry, I think you will be OK. If I decide I need to wash mine, I'll repost to let you know.

I personally have not laundered it as of yet, but I'm sure in a garment bag on light wash and cold water, it would be OK. Or you can probably hand wash and lay on towel to dry. Good Luck and hope it works out for you.

I have not washed mine but I would feel comfortable hand washing it or put it in a laundry bag and wash on delicate cycle. Should be fine. Good luck.

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 haven't machine washed it, only spot treated areas. I think the bag says to dry clean the comforter. The rest is machine washable.
