Caring for Canvas and Poly/Taffeta Sleeping BagsUpdated 3 months ago

So, your sleeping bag has developed a funky smell. Let us guess, too many days dirtbagging without a shower? Hey, we've all been there. But it’s important to keep your bag clean so you don’t void your warranty and are able to enjoy it for years to come. 

If you have a canvas or poly/taffeta sleeping bag, good news—these bags are easier to clean than down bags! With proper care, you can keep them fresh and functional without damaging the materials or insulation. 

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Spot clean your sleeping bag using warm water and mild soap.
• For a deeper clean, wash it by hand in a bathtub with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Agitate gently, rinse thoroughly, and air dry—preferably in the sun.
• Do not machine wash or dry your sleeping bag, as it can damage zippers, rip the fabric, and mat the insulation.
