    How to wash an old backpack.

    I would put it inside an old pillowcase cable tied up or similar to avoid clips getting caught and then run it on a delicates cycle on cold in the washing machine with normal detergent or whatever you use. It should be okay provided it’s not too hot as that could remove the PU coating although...
