Cleaning a dirty school backpack is a simple process that involves a few steps.
- Empty the backpack: Remove all the contents, including books, papers, pencils, and any other items.
- Pretreat any stains: Apply a stain remover like Clorox 2® for Colors 3-in-1 to any visible stains.
- Place the backpack in a mesh laundry bag: This prevents the backpack from getting tangled or damaged in the washing machine.
- Machine wash: Wash the backpack on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Air dry: Hang the backpack to air dry completely. Avoid using a dryer as it can damage the material.
It's best to hand wash backpacks with delicate fabrics or complex designs to prevent damage. A thorough cleaning can be achieved by using a mild detergent and a damp cloth.
