Been in the shed for a while now and could do with a little freshen up

Can it be dry cleaned ?

Also a trakker oval sleeping bag?

Thanks

I put mine in the washing machine with their tech wash and it was fine
Left it hanging on the line all day to dry

I've put mine in the washing machine a few times, just normal washing powder and it's been fine, dries quick too even just thrown over something indoors.

Fortis bag in the w/machine with normal powder. Mrs washed the top separately in case it was too big all together. No experience of the trakker bag.

I took mine to a manned launderette. They did a great job on it. Think it was £15 or something but well worth it.

Just bumping this as mine needs a wash.

Did you wash it on a 40 or go lower like a 30?

Thanks in advance for any replies...

I would say absolute max of 30 considering Nash sleeping bag instructions say wash in COLD water
and the fact is with todays washing machines the cleaning power can be better at 30c than at hotter temps

What are these bags like, worth the outlay?

100% mate, I can't grumble with mine at all. Super warm and lite weight.
I got a good deal on mine for 180 when they hadn't been long out.
Are you sure?
