How to wash a synthetic sleeping bag

• Use a sleeping bag liner to keep it clean.

• Spot clean marks with a damp cloth instead of a full wash.

• Pair your bag with a sleeping mat for extra protection from dirt.

1. Secure zippers and Velcro tabs to avoid snagging.

2. Use a heavy-duty front loader set to a gentle cycle.

3. Set the machine to a warm wash (up to 30°C) and add a pure, mild soap, detergent, or Granger’s Performance Wash.

1. Fill your bath with 150 mm of warm water and add your choice of pure, mild soap, detergent, or Granger’s Performance Wash.

2. Submerge your bag and massage the water in with your hands until it’s saturated. Don’t attempt to lift it when it’s waterlogged—it’ll be too heavy!

3. Let it soak for 1–4 hours, depending on how dirty it is.

4. Drain the tub, refill with fresh water, and massage the bag again. Repeat until no suds remain.

5. Press out the water—gently fold the bag and press firmly until most of the moisture is expelled.

1. Air-dry first: Lay your bag flat on towels spread over portable clothes racks to drain excess water.

2. Once semi-dry, use a tumble dryer on low heat if needed—but avoid excess heat, which can melt the fabric.

3. Dry in a shaded area to prevent UV degradation. A hot, windy day is ideal for air-drying.

With just a little care, your synthetic sleeping bag can stay fresh and functional for years to come. Ready to hit the trails? Your cozy outdoor companion will thank you!
